We mapped the ongoing threats to public lands—and it's a heartbreaking picture, Momoko: The orange areas on the map below show what's at risk right now: more than 200 million acres of public lands that Congress has put on the auction block for new fossil fuel development. From the far reaches of the Arctic to the spectacular deserts of New Mexico, oil and gas companies have a stranglehold on our public lands in the West. Now, the administration and its allies in Congress are trying to dig us even deeper into fossil fuel dependency while padding the pockets of billionaire developers and multinational corporations. They're eager to sell off and privatize the very places that sustain wildlife, provide clean air and water, and belong to all of us. But together, we have the power to fight back. Every dollar you give by midnight on December 31 to defend these lands will be matched 5X by a generous donor, up to $1 million. Please don't wait >> |
