.. Dear Supporter, As you may recall, in 2001 the World Parrot Trust spearheaded a global campaign to end the importation of wild birds into the European Union. With your help, we achieved this success in 2007. It has been a triumph for parrot conservation and welfare, already sparing the lives of over 12 million birds. It was only through the support of parrot lovers like you who took the time to sign our online petition, that this milestone was achieved. However, there are still countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America where the wild bird trade continues, and this is where I am asking for your assistance once again. With your help, we can save tens of thousands more birds every year. See how you can help end the trade, forever! » Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Terry and Bill Pelster, I'm delighted to share some exciting news. Starting now, they have promised to match each donation we receive - up to a total of $15,000. This means that if we can raise $15,000 by January 31, the Pelsters will match it - and the Trust will receive $30,000! They will match gifts dollar-for-dollar, so your tax-deductible contribution* of just $15 becomes $30, $25 becomes $50, and so on. Learn how your gift will make a difference » The World Parrot Trust has been protecting parrots for 20 years. Now is a great time to give the urgent support we need, and double your impact at the same time. Thank you for your support! Alison Hales, Chairman World Parrot Trust		Join us to help end the trade » Please hurry! Terry & Bill will double your donation if you send it by Jan. 31!
P.S. Please ask your friends to visit www.parrots.org/stopthetrade and the Pelsters will be happy to match their gift as well! P.P.S. Prefer to make a donation offline? Click here to print a donation form you can send back via postal mail. * Where applicable by law
