Devastating wildfires and droughts have swept across the United States. These wildfires, which have been exacerbated by climate change, have killed millions of Joshua Trees and studies estimate that nearly 100% of the trees could be lost if we don't act.
The climate crisis is here - and our iconic Joshua Trees are in danger. That’s why we need YOUR help to support our SEEC members in Congress who will fight with everything they’ve got to tackle climate change and protect our environment.
Joshua Trees play a vital role in desert ecosystems. The water trapped beneath their bark helps to sustain life and their flowers are a critical source of food and habitation - supporting species such as the Desert Tortoise, Red-tailed Hawk, and Black-tailed Jackrabbit.
The desert’s average temperature has gone up by as much as 3.6°F and rainfall has declined by up to 20% in some areas - increasing the risk for wildfires. These changes will only accelerate in coming years if we don’t act now to tackle climate change head on.
Joshua Trees can take up to 30 years to fully mature and live to around 75 to 300 years old. If we lose them now, they may never recover.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
