This is huge, Friend: President Biden just designated nearly one million acres of land in the Grand Canyon area as a new national monument.

Things could move quickly now — the Biden administration is also weighing major decisions on whether to expand protections for California’s San Gabriel Mountains, the Pacific Remote Islands, and more.

LCV is the midst of a major campaign to ensure that our nation reaches the climate science-backed goal of conserving 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030. We can’t do it without you, Friend.

Please, renew your membership to protect more lands. It can really make a huge difference right now — it only takes $5.

Friend, I want you to know that if the environmental movement shows up in a big way, we CAN win. Since President Biden took office, we’ve delivered thousands of messages calling for him to protect public lands. This latest victory in the Grand Canyon area — as well as other recent monument designations, including Nevada’s Avi Kwa Ame, Colorado’s Camp Hale, and Texas’s Castner Range — wouldn’t have been possible without your support.

Now, we’re setting our sights on expanding protections for California’s San Gabriel Mountains, the Pacific Remote Islands, and more.
 
Permanently protecting these landscapes is critical — not only for the environmental movement, but also for the coalitions of Tribal Nations, local communities, and outdoor enthusiasts who are pushing for these national monuments.

Every new monument and expanded protected area helps bring us closer to our nation’s conservation and climate goals. But we can’t get there without your support.

We need to raise $20,000 by the end of August — and if everyone reading this right now pitched in just $5, we’d blow through that goal in minutes. Renew your LCV membership now to help the U.S. protect 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
