Our nation's public lands are under siege. We're fighting back with a Day for the Wild. We're giving you an early-bird opportunity to make TWICE the impact: Claim your piece of this special Day for the Wild match right now >>   Claim Your 2X Match Now   Momoko, a coordinated attack on America's public lands is underway, and it's like nothing we've ever seen. Anti-conservation lawmakers are placing more than 200 million acres on the auction block for oil and gas drilling. Federal agencies meant to manage and care for these lands are being gutted. The administration is dismantling critical policies that have safeguarded wild places for decades. Iconic landscapes, cultural resources and fragile wildlife habitats are all at risk. This is a crisis for public lands—and it demands a powerful response from those of us who love them. That's why we're rallying our community to take a stand with a Day for the Wild on September 3. One day. One movement. 500 donors joining together to defend the wild. Today we're giving you a special opportunity to make an even greater impact: Make your early-bird gift in support of a Day for the Wild now and it will be DOUBLED, up to $500,000, by a generous longtime donor. And if you start a monthly gift, it will be matched every month through the end of this year. >> The threats we're up against are serious, Momoko—and mounting. Here's just a snapshot of what's going on right now and why it's so important to have you stand up: Corporate polluters will have the opportunity to exploit over 200 million acres of public lands, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—one of the biggest public lands giveaways to the fossil fuel industry in history. This bill codifies the administration's energy dominance agenda, opening up treasured landscapes and fragile ecosystems to irreparable damage from drilling, mining and logging. Fight back now >> Drastic cuts are being made to the agencies tasked with protecting and maintaining public lands, including the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior—meaning that our nation's public lands are understaffed, underfunded and less accessible to everyday people. Fight back now >> Oil and gas lease sales are being mandated in every Western state and the Arctic. The sales are even mandated on the fragile coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in the Western Arctic—lands that are home to caribou, polar bears and migratory birds. Fight back now >> Momoko, with your support we are fighting back on every front. Our policy and legal teams are preparing to hold our leaders accountable in the courts. Our scientists are conducting groundbreaking research that expands our understanding of complex environmental issues and how they impact public lands. And our field staff are partnering with grassroots advocates across the nation to take action for conservation at every level of government. Join us now for a Day for the Wild—you can help us build momentum by making a MATCHED early-bird gift today! If you make your donation monthly, it will be doubled every month through the end of this year >> I hope you'll stand with us! With hope and determination, Margot Krieger Director of Membership The Wilderness Society P.S. We chose September 3 as the date for our very first Day for the Wild because it marks 60 years since our founders helped pass the landmark 1964 Wilderness Act, which protected more than 111 million acres in their natural state. Together we've fought hard for all of the progress we've made since then, and we cannot let it be erased. Your support today will go twice as far to help. NPS / Jacob W. Frank
