Fight for Nature Conservation in the U.S.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has taken more than 40 significant actions to reduce public oversight and weaken longstanding safeguards, making it easier to drill, mine, log, and build roads across America’s public lands. See our Public Lands Attack Tracker for a breakdown of these rollbacks and their impacts.

Bottom line - we are witnessing a systematic dismantling of our shared conservation legacy with millions of acres destroyed, Indigenous culture and connection severed, public access blocked, and more industrial development on lands that belong to all of us.

Make a powerful difference.

With your support, we will:

• Pursue legal action to the full extent of the law.
• Flood members of Congress with messages of opposition.
• Mobilize hundreds of thousands of people within the reach of our Friends Grassroots Network to fight back.
• Defend the Antiquities Act and other bedrock laws as tools to protect essential landscapes.
• Expose the irreversible consequences of stripping conservation protections. 
• Hold decision makers accountable through public outcry, media, and the courts.
• 
  

Please give today. If you have been meaning to do something about the administration’s egregious actions, now is the time. Through October, your gift will go twice as far, up to $25,000, due to the generosity of Ben Eder and Tand Studio.
