Thank you for everything you do to protect and preserve our national parks.



Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Just yesterday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced its
final management plans for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monuments -- and they're everything we feared.

After the Trump administration illegally slashed these monuments by as
much as 85 percent, the unprotected lands of Bears Ears and Grand
Staircase-Escalate are at extreme risk of oil and gas drilling,
mining, road building, and other devastating development.
Making matters worse, the lands left inside the gutted monuments won't
even be adequately protected by the BLM's new management plans.

Chip in now to defend national monuments!

Since 2017, NPCA and a coalition of national and local groups --
including five sovereign tribal nations that have inhabited and cared
for these lands for centuries -- have been fighting in federal court
to restore the full, original protections for these monuments. But now
the Trump administration is rushing ahead with its plans before our
lawsuits are settled.

If they succeed, ancestral tribal lands, one of the world's most
renowned paleontological sites, priceless cultural treasures, pristine
wildernesses, and vital habitat for wildlife like eagles, elk, and
owls could be polluted, fracked, clear-cut, and paved over.

Friend, I am asking for your immediate support to help NPCA
protect this sacred and spectacular landscape. Please make an
emergency donation right now to sustain our legal defense and other
urgent park protection efforts today, tomorrow, and throughout the
critical weeks ahead.

BLM considers this a final decision for the fate of Bears Ears and
Grand Staircase-Escalante. NPCA does not.

With your strong support, NPCA and our allies are moving forward with
lawsuits to restore protections for the entirety of these monuments. A
victory in these cases would force BLM to abandon the management plans
they released yesterday. We are also mobilizing park advocates across
the country to demand proper management of these monuments.

But we are in need of additional resources to wage -- and win -- this
and the many other critical park protection battles we are currently
fighting. And so we urgently need your help.

Please stand with us today for Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante,
and all of our imperiled national parks and public lands.
Make your emergency donation to NPCA right now.

Thank you, in advance, for your support. Together, we won't rest until
these special places are protected as they were intended, for today
and for future generations.

Sincerely,

Theresa Pierno
President and CEO
