Protect Fireflies Now

We’re in a race against time to give fireflies a fighting chance in a rapidly changing world.
Your support helps secure a future for fireflies at risk from habitat loss, light pollution, and environmental change.

By becoming a Monthly Sustaining Member, you provide the steady, long-term support needed to protect fireflies and the ecosystems they depend on.

Why This Matters Right Now

Fireflies are declining quietly across North America. Many species rely on habitats that are disappearing or changing faster than we can document them. Protecting fireflies requires sustained research, conservation, and education, not one-time fixes.

Monthly sustaining members make it possible to plan ahead, remain active in the field, and respond quickly when conservation opportunities or urgent threats arise.

What Your Monthly Support Makes Possible

Your recurring gift supports:

• Year-round field research on rare and declining firefly species
• Habitat conservation and science-based guidance for landowners and communities
• Public education, youth programming, and classroom resources
• Supplies for hands-on learning, including nets, jars, observation tools, and field materials
• Educational talks and presentations given to schools, nature centers, botanical gardens, and communities across the country

This ongoing support ensures firefly conservation and education can continue where they are needed most.

Why Monthly Giving Matters
