One of the neat things about working at Defenders of Wildlife is being on the receiving end of some wonderful letters from young supporters. Recently I received a letter from 9-year-old activist Chloe, asking us if she could do a speech at an event for us about “how you are so nice to animals.”  She ended the letter with a P.S.: “I promise to make a difference.”

Well, how could we turn down a request like that?  I suggested that, instead of an event, maybe she could video tape a speech and send it to us?  And she did just that.

And boy was it impressive.  She declares her own commitment to wildlife, talks about their plight and provides some great suggestions for what we can all do to help wildlife.

With supporters like Chloe out there inspiring all of us to make a difference, I know we can do great things for wildlife.

I hope that sharing Chloe’s speech will inspire you to do something good for wildlife.  At this time of year, you could even share the gift of wildlife with friends and family by adopting.
