What’s next on President Trump’s chopping block? Forests — he recently issued two executive orders that seek to expedite widespread logging of federal forests, treating them as little more than tree farms.

These reckless orders will make communities more vulnerable to wildfires, increase air and water pollution, jeopardize critical habitat for endangered species, and exacerbate climate change.

Your members of Congress can help — but they need to hear from you NOW. Tell them to take a stand and stop attacks on our federal forests!

A federal court ruled late last month in a case brought by NRDC and our partners that the Interior Department’s approval of a massive offshore oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico violated the law by failing to assess risks posed to the climate and to critically endangered Rice’s whales.

With the Trump administration’s "drill, baby, drill” mentality, it's more important than ever that the courts continue to uphold the law. The decision marks a major win for the Rice’s whale and other imperiled marine mammals, Gulf communities, and NRDC supporters like you who help us carry on legal fights like this.
