Dear National Park Advocate,
There's only a few days left to stop the White House from rolling back
key environmental reviews. Will you take action for national parks
before the Tuesday deadline?

Environmental reviews assess the potential impact of projects on
federal lands -- that's everything from oil rigs to highways. It's how
we know if a mine will affect local salmon or whether seismic testing
will destroy cultural artifacts. And it's how parks and communities
can make sure their interests -- not just industry's -- are heard by
the government.
All that could change if the administration goes through with its plan
to strip away environmental reviews.
Friend, send your official comment to the White House's
Council on Environmental Quality now. Tell them not to cut corners
with park protections!

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is the law that requires
the government to evaluate environmental impacts -- including
cumulative impacts like climate change or indirect impacts like
pollution entering a park downstream.
And NEPA is one of the environmental laws that the administration
waived so that it could construct a border wall through Organ Pipe
Cactus National Monument.
A new proposal from the administration would undercut NEPA by cutting
out public input and allowing companies to essentially conduct
environmental reviews themselves. Worse still, the changes would
redefine which projects need environmental reviews in the first place.
Tell the administration to halt its plan to roll back the
environmental reviews that are such a vital part of protecting parks
from destructive development.

By providing thorough, objective, scientific review and public input,
NEPA ensures that nobody cuts corners or sacrifices park protections.
It's one of the best tools communities have for protecting their parks
and it's under attack. Will you send your comment before Tuesday's
deadline and tell the White House to preserve NEPA and keep parks
safe?

Thank you for standing up for the laws that protect our parks.
