National monuments are our common ground From the desert canyons of Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni in Arizona to the jagged peaks of Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks in New Mexico, these treasured places remind us of who we are and where we come from. But according to news reports, the administration is planning to strip protections from several beloved national monuments, despite strong local and national support for these places that protect wildlife, clean water, cultural history and the freedom people have to explore, learn and connect with lands that belong to all of us. These monuments help preserve America's story and ensure future generations can experience these places as part of our common ground. Join The Wilderness Society on a journey across the American West to visit nine of these special places and meet the people who know them by heart. Discover what's truly at stake if protections are rolled back. Watch our film. Learn more about the making of the film and the stories behind it. Take action to defend our national monuments.

Our shared public lands and waters are one of America's greatest equalizers, meant to be protected for current and future generations. But today, politicians in Washington, D.C. are advancing a dangerous agenda that prioritizes corporate profits over these places, threatening millions of acres and limiting public access.   We released a new report highlighting 10 iconic landscapes—from the Arctic to the Boundary Waters to the Southwest— most at risk from this dangerous energy agenda.   Check out our report and join us in telling Interior Secretary Burgum that our public lands are NOT FOR SALE.

A little-known legislative tool is being used to break down public lands In the last couple of months, Congress has been using an obscure law, the Congressional Review Act (CRA), to slash established public lands protections. Read more.

9 public lands to visit this Spring With warmer weather comes vibrant colors, blooming flowers and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors on our nation's public lands. Read more.

Stop attack on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Utah's lawmakers have introduced legislation that would overturn the monument's land-use plan, risking protections for wildlife habitat, fragile watersheds, cultural resources and recreational access across nearly 1.9 million acres of public land. Tell Congress to keep Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's protections!

Canoeing 🛶 fishing 🎣 and… mining?! ⛏️

All gifts MATCHED through March 31.

Momoko, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota is one of America's most treasured landscapes. Its interconnected system of lakes, rivers and wetlands offer the freedom for paddling, canoeing, birding, camping and fishing, and draw around 250,000 visitors per year. But certain members of Congress want to open this precious landscape's headwaters to toxic mining. Together, we need to send a clear message: America's public lands and waters are NOT for sale! We're fighting to protect the Boundary Waters, but we need your help—your membership matters so much at this moment! Through March 31, a generous donor is MATCHING every gift that comes in to help defend threatened public lands. Earlier this year, the House narrowly passed a resolution to revoke the 20-year mining ban that protects more than 200,000 acres of public lands near the Boundary Waters. A mine in this landscape would have disastrous impacts. Pollutants such as sulfuric acid and heavy metals would be carried downstream into the wilderness, contaminating the pristine lakes, rivers and streams the region is known and protected for, putting clean water and critical wildlife habitat at risk. The Boundary Waters are much more than a pretty spot to canoe—they are essential to the health of nearby communities and the broader ecosystem. The surrounding 3-million-acre Superior National Forest holds 20 percent of the freshwater in the entire national forest system, underscoring the region's critical role as a source of clean water for wildlife and locals today and into the future. It's also a critical habitat for moose, Canada lynx and other wildlife. And for the Anishinaabe people, this water sustains wild rice, an irreplaceable subsistence and cultural resource. That's why your Spring Membership Drive gift is so important, Momoko. Right now, every gift will be doubled, up to $375,000, through March 31. Your Spring Membership Drive gift today will go 2X as far to help The Wilderness Society:   Defend the Boundary Waters and all public lands from reckless drilling and mining projects.     Mobilize communities to protect the clean water that sustains wildlife and communities.     Ensure cherished public lands that belong to all of us remain in public hands. There is no way to undo the damage this mining operation could cause to the Boundary Waters. But together, we can stop this latest attempt at offering up public lands for private profit. Please, make your matched gift before March 31 to help ensure this extraordinary wilderness—and all public lands—remain protected from polluters.

📢 Tell the Trump admin: Public lands are not for sale

From coast to coast, our lands are at risk...

Tell the government public lands are not for sale!   Act now& Dear Momoko, If you've been with us for long, you already know public lands are central to who we are and how we live. From the tundra of the Arctic to the deserts of the Southwest, public lands offer us all the freedom of incredible recreation in vanishing habitats—while also providing critical life support in the form of clean air and water. But politicians in Washington, driven by a short-sighted "energy dominance" agenda, want to sell these lands off to the highest bidder at all our expense. If these lands are privatized or ravaged by industry, they're gone for good. Join us in telling the government public lands are not for sale! We recently published a report that highlights ten of the nation's most threatened public lands, places that are beloved by people across the country. All told, millions of acres are at risk of having vital protections stripped—opening them up to reckless drilling and mining. If these lands are harmed or lost to privatization, public health, Indigenous communities, local economies, outdoor access and wildlife will all suffer. This isn't the first time some of our country's most special places have been under attack. Yet time and time again, we come together to stand up and defend these places, for our neighbors and for future generations. There is simply far too much to lose: Join us in telling the Trump administration, these are the lands we'll keep fighting for. And they are simply not for sale. Help us save these special places and keep public lands in public hands! Thank you for your advocacy and support. Sincerely, The Wilderness Society   Act now Mason Cummings
