Dear NRDC Supporter,
Right now, a breathtaking marine sanctuary is under siege.
The Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, faces an existential threat.
A Houston-based energy company, Mexico Pacific, is spearheading plans to build a sprawling liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal right in the heart of this vibrant marine ecosystem — with J.P. Morgan as financial advisor and contracts already signed by fossil fuel giants like Shell, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil.
NRDC is fighting back. We've already mobilized thousands of members to demand that J.P. Morgan to end its backing — because without their support, this disastrous project will lose a critical ally.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to join the fight with NRDC, this is it. Will you make a $5 gift today to supercharge this momentum? Your donation will be DOUBLED through May 31, going twice as far to protect our cherished wild places like the Gulf of California.
If this project moves forward, endangered vaquitas, blue whales, sea turtles, and hundreds of other species could suffer catastrophic habitat loss. One of the planet's greatest natural wonders could vanish beneath industrial shipping lanes.
LNG is fracked gas that is supercooled for transport — a process that wastes energy and accelerates climate change. This project would lock in decades of pollution while gutting an irreplaceable wildlife refuge.
This moment is a test of whether corporations will be allowed to destroy one of the world's richest marine ecosystems for short-term profit or whether we can stand together to stop them.
NRDC has faced down powerful polluters before, and won. From stopping the destructive Pebble Mine project in Alaska's Bristol Bay, to defeating the Keystone Pipeline that threatened communities and ecosystems across the eastern United States, we know how to take on deep-pocketed corporations and prevail.
And with your support, we can do it again.
Your matched $5 gift today will help NRDC fight back against Big Oil's assault on the Gulf of California and power critical work to protect our oceans, wildlife, and climate across the globe.
When people come together, extraordinary things happen. Again and again, collective action has stopped corporate polluters in their tracks. Now, saving the Gulf of California depends on each of us doing our part. And when we come together, we win.
Thank you for standing with us and making a difference.
Sincerely,
Sujatha Bergen
Director, Global Energy Transition, NRDC
