Dear Momoko,
We're now one year into the second Trump administration, and America's public lands are facing unprecedented threats. Protections for our lands, forests and waters are being stripped away, and pressure is rising fast to open more special, wild places to destructive drilling and mining.
These attacks are real, and they're escalating. Now more than ever, we need to stand together to protect wildlife and ensure these wild places endure for future generations.
That's why we're asking you to affirm your commitment to protecting public lands in 2026 by signing our Public Lands Protector Pledge today, Momoko. Will you add your name?
Over the past twelve months, the administration and its allies in Congress have slashed safeguards that kept millions of acres off-limits to drilling, mining and logging, eliminated environmental review rules that protect communities, and pushed to exploit places that should remain protected—from the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the Tongass National Forest and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
At the same time, the agencies responsible for stewarding these lands are being hollowed out. Agencies like the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service are facing staffing shortages, budget cuts and political pressure to prioritize extraction over conservation—regardless of the impact on communities, visitor experiences, fragile ecosystems, clean water supply and wildfire risk.
For 91 years, The Wilderness Society has united people across the country around a shared belief in clean air and water, thriving wildlife and the freedom for all to explore and enjoy nature. These values are not partisan—they are part of our national identity. And right now, they are under direct assault.
Add your name to the pledge and stand with us against every attempt to weaken, sell off or destroy the irreplaceable public lands we all share.
Thank you for your dedication,
Margot Krieger
Director of Membership
The Wilderness Society
P.S. Your pledge makes a difference—and so does your support. By making a tax-deductible gift today, you'll strengthen our year-round work to defend our nation's cherished outdoor spaces, wildlife and communities.
