Friend, THREE dangerous bills that would gut critical protections for public lands are making their way through Congress right now.


Anti-environment lawmakers are attempting to push these bills through so that their allies in the fossil fuel and mining industries can rip open more priceless wild lands for profit. We must ramp up our grassroots efforts to fight back against these attacks – will you chip in, while every $1 you donate to the Sierra Club has the power of $2?

Join the Sierra Club Earth Month Challenge with a gift to protect public lands and your support will immediately DOUBLE in impact, up to $25,000, going twice as far to fight back against corporate threats, strengthen efforts to expand national parks and monuments, and much more. We'll also send you a FREE Earth Day sticker to show our appreciation!


Defending our public lands and waters from extraction and pollution is key to fighting climate change and stopping the extinction crisis. And it's an essential part of our efforts to support and partner alongside the Indigenous communities who have stewarded these lands for generations. Public lands provide endless ecological benefits, ensuring the health of wildlife and their habitats.


That's why the Sierra Club is fighting on every front to expand protections for public lands nationwide, with an ambitious goal to protect 30 percent of our wild places by 2030. With the help of members and supporters like you, we're calling on the Biden administration to permanently protect more of these treasured landscapes before it's too late, including:

Chuckwalla National Monument & Joshua Tree National Park, California

Climate change and overdevelopment threaten this desert landscape, which is home to imperiled species including the desert bighorn sheep and the desert tortoise. The Sierra Club is working with local partners to ask President Biden to designate Chuckwalla as a new national monument and protect lands adjacent to Joshua Tree to conserve important nature and benefit nearby communities.

The Great Bend of the Gila is an extraordinary nexus of natural, cultural, geological, and historical significance that has shaped much of the Southwest's history and heritage. This fragile, culturally significant landscape needs protection from destructive roads and sprawling development. We're supporting protections for these lands, supporting the Indigenous Tribes in their stewardship of these lands, and pushing President Biden to establish this area as a new national monument.

The Dolores River has been the backbone of life in the western Colorado region for millenia, supporting Indigenous communities and nurturing vibrant wildlife and plant species – but the river and its surrounding wildlands are unprotected from the mounting threats of development, mining interests, and climate change. By encouraging President Biden to designate the Dolores Canyon National Monument, we can ensure this wilderness endures for generations to come.

We cannot let corporate polluters destroy the public lands that are shared by all of us – not during Earth Month, not ever.
