Hi John,

Trump just unleashed the chainsaws on our national forests.

By executive order he's issued an edict to ramp up logging on our federal forests — nearly a third of forested lands in the United States. This destruction will be a disaster for endangered wildlife and the planet.

Please help us fight back against Trump's onslaught by making a matched gift to the Future for the Wild Fund. Gifts made by the end of the month will be doubled.

With a stroke of a pen, Trump launched one of his most vicious attacks yet on the natural world.

He wants to ramp up logging and roadbuilding across our collectively owned forests.

Taking chainsaws and axes to those forests could harm up to 400 protected species, from grizzly bears to salmon. Habitat for spotted owls could be destroyed.

Wildlife on the brink need these forests to survive. That's why Trump had to do an end run around the laws that protect them.

The order instructs the U.S. Forest Service and Interior Department to rely on "emergency" provisions to ignore the Endangered Species Act.

But the emergencies that threaten us most are the extinction and climate crises — and those will be made worse by forest destruction.

Clearcutting and other logging will pollute waterways and put the drinking water of 180 million people at risk, intensifying wildfires by stripping away old, fire-resistant trees.

The public doesn't want this. No one wants to see our beautiful public lands handed over to big business and razed. The Center will do all we can to stop it.

So far we've taken legal action nearly every three days against the most anti-wildlife administration in history. It's our fastest pace ever — and exactly what's needed to meet this moment.

Our promise is that, with your help, we won't stop.
