RSVP "Yes" if you want to help make this holiday season one that's more eco-friendly for our natural world.
Join The Nature Conservancy this holiday season and give gifts that will go twice as far– gifts that will delight loved ones while also protecting and preserving some of the world's most precious habitats for fu...ture generations. New this year are opportunities to ensure habitat protection for hummingbirds and northern jaguars, to protect the flow and supply of freshwater for communities in Latin America and to preserve stunning coral reefs in Palau, Papua New Guinea and the Dominican Republic.
Save the Northern Jaguar or Protect Hummingbird Habitat
They may differ pretty significantly in size, but the jaguar and the hummingbird both need plenty of room to roam. The hummingbird can migrate more than 2,000 miles from central Mexico to as far north as British Columbia, Canada, on wings that aren’t quite two-and-a-half inches long. The northern jaguar roams from as far south as Patagonia all the way to Arizona and New Mexico. A gift for jaguars and hummingbirds will support efforts to save their habitat.

The “Must-Have” Gift…Water
Every time a free-flowing river is altered, a lake is fouled by toxic runoff or a wetland is drained, the ability of freshwater systems to sustain life is disrupted and weakened. Give the gift of clean water and your loved one can take pride in the fact that their gift is helping to protect the flow and supply of fresh water and ensuring the well-being and very survival of our own species.
Give the Gift of Clean Water: http://my.nature.org/gifts/water.html
It doesn't take much to give a meaningful holiday gift that makes a different. Just $10 will plant 10 native trees in the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's biggest and most endangered tropical forests.
Pledge your support & help us make this 2009 Holiday Season the best one yet! RSVP "yes" to this event and visit http://www.nature.org/gifts
