Momoko, the administration is working at breakneck speed to eliminate protections for vast swathes of public land by letting oil, gas and mining corporations exploit and damage them without safeguards.
We won't let them—because these lands are NOT FOR SALE.
In a massive giveaway to the fossil fuel industry, the president issued an executive order this summer that eliminated crucial protections for millions of acres in Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah. Already, 72 mining claims have been filed on lands previously protected in Bears Ears. The Wilderness Society has joined a coalition of conservation groups in suing the administration to block these unlawful orders. We need your support to help power this courtroom fight and protect the future of all our cherished national monuments.
Completely free of roads, trails and pollution, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve provides a true wilderness experience for adventure seekers, critical habitat for wildlife like caribou and sustenance for local villages. But the administration is forcing through approvals for the Ambler Road project, which would carve a road of destruction through this untouched landscape and pave the way for a massive, open-pit mine to be built. We need your help to mount a powerful defense of the park and other beloved landscapes in the Arctic that are being sold off to the highest bidder.
America's public lands belong to all of us, Momoko. We cannot allow this administration to sell them off to the highest bidder at the expense of wildlife, local communities and the future generations who deserve to explore them, too.
