10X MATCH 🌲 48 hours for our national forests

Momoko, our national forests are under siege—and for the next 48 hours, your donation will go 10X as far to fight back, thanks to $1 million in matching funds from a generous donor who shares your commitment to protecting public lands.

This year has seen an unprecedented wave of dangerous attempts to put millions of acres of forests on the chopping block—rolling back protections, gutting the agencies that steward them and putting entire ecosystems at risk for the benefit of private industry. Enough is enough: we cannot let politicians hand over our cherished national forests to corporate polluters.

Now is the time to fight back. For the next 48 hours, your tax-deductible gift will be matched TEN TIMES to defend our forests and all public lands—in the courts, in the halls of Congress and in communities across the nation. Please, pitch in before Wednesday's deadline for your gift to go 10X as far—America's forests are counting on you >>

Here's what we're up against:

Opening previously protected forests to logging interests: The administration is moving to rescind the Roadless Rule, opening more than 44 million acres of national forest lands to logging and road building.
Logging and timber sale mandates: New policies would more than double the amount of timber logged in the Western U.S., threatening national forests—including ones directly adjacent to national parks like Yellowstone, Olympic, Sequoia and the Tetons.
Gutting of conservation programs: The administration is proposing to gut funding for forest restoration and move wildfire fighting capacity out of the Forest Service—which could leave communities more vulnerable to catastrophic fires and polluted water.
Fast-tracking of habitat and ecosystem destruction: Environmental reviews are being eliminated, limiting public input and paving the way for harmful projects to be fast-tracked with little accountability.
Staffing cuts of those who manage and care for our forests: The Forest Service is being hollowed out to focus more on providing timber and minerals—regardless of the impact on communities, visitor experiences, fragile ecosystems, clean water supply and wildfire risk.

10X MATCH TO DEFEND OUR FORESTS

Your tax-deductible year-end gift will power our work to fight back against these attacks and defend all of our beloved public lands before it's too late.

The clock is ticking, Momoko—can we count on you to make a 10X-matched gift before midnight tomorrow?

Our forests can't wait.
