FALL/WINTER 2025

Conservation wins and good news you may have missed this year

At times, 2025 felt defined by relentless attacks on public lands, environmental protections, and community voices. But even in a year of change, people showed up and together, we delivered real conservation wins. From stopping dangerous public lands sell-off proposals to expanding access to the outdoors, communities across the country proved that public lands are worth defending.

This year, public engagement surged, bipartisan support for keeping public lands in public hands grew, and science continued to guide conservation decisions despite political headwinds. We also celebrated 90 years of The Wilderness Society and welcomed new leadership.

These moments remind us that progress is possible when people stand together.

The USDA is moving to repeal the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protects 45 million acres of America's healthy public forest from logging and development. Roadless forests protect clean drinking water for communities and wildlife, improve air quality, store carbon and are home to thousands of miles of trails and other recreation areas. Read more.

Alaskan lands under attack

This fall, the administration opened the entire coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, reissued permits for the proposed Ambler Road, and announced plans to open roughly 16 million acres of the Western Arctic to new leasing. Read more.

Under the cover of darkness, federal government silences public voices

Over the course of 2025, the federal government has gone out of its way to obfuscate its operations and muzzle public input in decision-making about our shared public lands. Shutting people out of decisions about them threatens the freedom Americans have always had to access and enjoy their public lands. Read more.

Got a minute? Help us stop drilling in this wildlife habitat >>

Momoko, our flash match to defend Alaska's irreplaceable public lands ends in just hours—and we still need your help to unlock $25,000 in matching funds >>

We've had one goal for the last 48 hours: bring together people to defend Alaska's wildlands. The administration is moving full steam ahead with plans to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's entire fragile coastal plain to oil and gas drilling; advance the proposed 211-mile Ambler Road that would slash through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve; lease millions of acres in the Western Arctic for drilling; and more.

If we hit our $25,000 goal, we'll unlock $25,000 in matching funds from a generous donor who shares your commitment to power the fight ahead… but there are just hours left, and we still need 12 people from Oregon to chip in.

Your $35 becomes $70

Your $53 becomes $105

⬆️ This amount would really help! ⬆️

Your $70 becomes $140

Give any amount and help unlock $25,000

Momoko, the administration's plan to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's entire coastal plain to oil and gas drilling has put one of America's last truly wild landscapes in jeopardy.

We're now in the final day of our push to unlock $25,000 in matching funds to fight this devastating plan—and your gift is still missing. Every dollar you give can be matched $1-to-$1 by a generous donor to defend the Arctic and all of our shared public lands before it's too late.

I'm checking in because I know how important it is to you to protect our nation's irreplaceable public lands, but we haven't seen your emergency gift for the Arctic come in yet.

They're opening the Arctic Refuge's entire coastal plain to drilling. We need to act fast to stop it.

Fight for public lands now with a tax-deductible year-end gift >>

The administration's reckless plan would pave the way for oil rigs, pipelines and industrial roads across a landscape sacred to the region's Indigenous communities and home to abundant wildlife.

And the destruction doesn't stop there. Officials have also issued permits to advance the 211-mile proposed Ambler mining road that would cut through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and have moved to open the Western Arctic to drilling—putting Alaska's wildlands under attack on every front.

These actions endanger the freedom of local and Indigenous communities to shape the future of their homelands, threaten the conservation of intact ecosystems and wildlife, and shortchange future generations who deserve to inherit these lands healthy and intact, as we did.

Now through MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, we need your help unlocking $25,000 in matching funds to help us fight these destructive projects—in the courts, in Congress and on the ground—before they ever have a chance to break ground. Will you chip in before midnight, Momoko?
