Friend,
Everyone who loves nature has a special place they feel connected to. It might be the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest or the quiet peaks of the Appalachian mountains. The stunning desert landscapes of the Southwest, or — my personal favorite — the vast snowy expanses of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
But no matter what your favorite place is, no matter where your heart beats, one thing remains the same: the single greatest threat they face is human activity. As corporate polluters, logging companies, and fossil fuel interests expand and encroach on some of our most beloved landscapes, the choices we make right now will determine whether these lands endure for future generations — or become unrecognizable, unable to sustain the life that once thrived.
We're calling on Sierra Club supporters like you to chip in NOW, before it's too late. Make your final gift of 2023 right now and your donation will go FIVE TIMES as far thanks to a special matching gift, doing 5x as much to help defend public lands and protect our planet in the year ahead.
Carelessness and corporate greed have already done so much damage, and they continue to threaten public lands — but we have the power to change course. We've done it before, helping to secure expanded protections for places of cultural and ecological significance, like Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, Tongass National Forest in Alaska, and the Florida Everglades. Together we have blocked dangerous new offshore drilling and oil pipelines. And we are putting pressure on Congress to protect 30% of U.S. lands and coastal waters by the year 2030. |
