Dear Momoko,

Right now across the western United States, some of our most culturally and ecologically significant public lands are facing renewed threats from drilling, mining and exploitation by corporate polluters.

Until midnight on March 31, every dollar you give during our Spring Membership Drive will be TRIPLED to help defend these iconic landscapes—can we count on your support, Momoko?

Your gift will TRIPLE in impact to defend public lands.

Here are some of the beautiful places under threat that your membership can help protect:

  • Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, Arizona: This monument protects cultural sites, drinking water and incredible biodiversity in lands surrounding the Grand Canyon, but it now faces attacks that would abolish protections and open the door to uranium mining. Give before March 31 and your support will go 3X as far to defend sacred Tribal lands and waters >>
  • The Ruby Mountains, Nevada: Known as Nevada's "Swiss Alps," the Ruby Mountains is the ancestral homeland of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone Indians and provides critical habitat for mule deer, bighorn sheep and other wildlife. Oil and gas leasing proposals have repeatedly targeted this fragile landscape. Your tripled gift helps keep drilling out of this iconic backcountry >>
  • The Greater Chaco Region, New Mexico: Home to thousands of cultural and archaeological sites and sacred to the Pueblo, Hopi and other Indigenous peoples, Greater Chaco continues to face the fossil fuel industry's relentless attempts to drill these lands—and the Trump administration recently announced it's considering revoking the 20-year ban on oil and gas development. Strong protections are essential to safeguard the region's communities and their irreplaceable cultural heritage. Triple your impact to defend Chaco >>
  • The Northern Red Desert and Big Sandy Foothills, Wyoming: This vast landscape includes areas of cultural importance for many tribes in the region and supports mule deer migrations and sage-grouse habitat. The administration recently reopened the region's resource management plan, raising concerns they will weaken vital protections and open the door to drilling. Give before March 31 and your gift will go three times as far to protect Wyoming's wildlands >>

These landscapes belong to all of us—not just the wealthy and powerful. Allowing corporate polluters unfettered access to drill, mine and exploit them is a betrayal of our right to hike, camp, fish and explore extraordinary places we all share. But to keep them safe, open and free for future generations to enjoy, we need to take action now.

We have just hours left to hit our $375,000 goal before our March 31 deadline. If everyone reading this email right now pitched in, we could hit that deadline and strengthen our fight—in communities, in courtrooms and in the halls of Congress.

Make your TRIPLE-MATCHED gift before midnight tomorrow and help ensure these landscapes remain protected for generations to come.

We're counting on you, Momoko.

With gratitude,

3️⃣X match for 3️⃣ threatened national monuments >>

Here's how to help these priority landscapes:

BIG NEWS! All gifts now TRIPLED!
2026 Spring Membership Drive
Goal: $375,000
Deadline: March 31

Special offer for Momoko: Make a gift during our Spring Membership Drive to claim your 3X match now >>

Right now, some of America's beloved national monuments are facing unprecedented threats as the administration and its anti-conservation allies in Congress take steps that would open the door to drilling, mining and irreversible destruction in landscapes we all share.

If they succeed in rolling back these protections, extractive development could reshape landscapes that hold irreplaceable cultural, ecological and historic value.

Our national monuments are NOT for sale—and we must act now to defend the future of America's extraordinary public lands, including:

Grand Staircase-Escalante.
Ironwood Forest National Monument.
Bears Ears National Monument.
 
3X Match: Defend Bears Ears
 

These threats are accelerating—but we also know we can stop them. The Wilderness Society and our powerful, nationwide membership have successfully protected Grand Staircase-Escalante, Bears Ears and other critical landscapes before when they were under attack. We can do it again, but we need your support, Momoko.

Make your tax-deductible gift during our Spring Membership Drive and it will go THREE TIMES as far to protect our shared public lands—in the courtroom, in the halls of Congress and in communities across the country.

National Monuments are NOT for Sale. Double your gift.

Momoko, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's stunning slot canyons and dramatic vistas make it instantly recognizable—but its importance goes far beyond the pretty Utah scenery. Its rock formations tell the stories of centuries gone by, with incredible paleontological discoveries providing a window into our history.

Right now it's facing an unprecedented attack.

Utah's Senator Lee and Representative Maloy, both of whom pushed for a large-scale sell-off of public lands during last year's budget reconciliation process, are now seeking to overturn the management plan that protects Grand Staircase-Escalante's sacred cultural sites, rare wildlife habitats and bucket-list hiking and camping destinations. If successful, they'll unravel years of community-driven conservation and remove barriers to drilling and mining across nearly 1.9 million acres.

We need every single Wilderness Society supporter to stand with us at this urgent moment. Our Spring Membership Drive kicks off today—and any gift you make before March 31 will be 2X MATCHED to power our defense of this remarkable place and other vulnerable landscapes across the country.

 
PROTECT NATIONAL MONUMENTS
 

Congress is using an arcane law known as the Congressional Review Act to throw the monument's management into chaos. It has never been used this way before. We can't allow it to happen. Not to Grand Staircase-Escalante or to any other national monument.

Opening this special place to reckless development would threaten culturally and scientifically significant sites, poison community drinking water, destroy intact habitat for rare plants and animals and limit our freedom to enjoy the beauty and wonder of this national treasure.

This moment is so serious that starting now, a generous donor is DOUBLING every gift made to our Spring Membership Drive, up to $375,000. Will you rush an urgent gift to power our work to defend Grand Staircase-Escalante and all of our shared public lands from being sold off to corporate polluters?

This isn't an idle threat. During the first Trump administration, the boundaries of Grand Staircase-Escalante were carved nearly in half—but together, we fought back and helped restore them.

Now this national monument is on the chopping block again and we're rallying all of our supporters to fight for this remarkable place before it's too late.

Please, Momoko. Join the fight for Grand Staircase-Escalante and all public lands at risk of being turned over to private industry by making a gift during our Spring Membership Drive. When you give before the March 31 deadline, every dollar will be matched—these beloved lands don't have time to wait.

Thank you for standing with us,
