Tell U.S. delegates: Support global biodiversity conservation

Tell United States Delegates: Back Global Conservation Now

Over 10,000 participants from around the world will soon
convene at the World Conservation Congress to shape international
conservation policy and action — including U.S. government
delegates.

Sign our petition urging U.S. delegates to commit to
global action for nature, the climate, and our shared
environmental future. ( [link removed] )

Dear NRDC Activist,

In just a few days, my NRDC colleagues
and I are traveling to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates for
the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World
Conservation Congress 2025 (we certainly didn’t conserve enough
breath for that title though).

Decisions made here will shape
international policy to protect biodiversity, the climate, and
human health for decades to come.

NRDC is sponsoring multiple motions critical for addressing the
biodiversity and climate crises that world leaders will be voting
on during the conference, including:
* A package of measures that includes protecting the Gulf of
California World Heritage site, 700 square miles of vital
wildlife habitat along the coast of Mexico, from dangerous oil
and gas development.
* Measures in this package include ending industrial-scale power
generation from forest biomass, protecting wild species from
unsustainable exploitation and global trade, and stopping the
extinction of the critically endangered Rice’s whale in the Gulf
of Mexico.
* A new and urgent notion recommitting all IUCN members to work
together on protecting the planet’s climate, ecosystems, and
people.

Sign our petition to urge U.S. delegates to
support global conservation efforts like protecting the Gulf of
California from the oil and gas industry. ( [link removed] )

The U.S. delegation already skipped a key first
vote on the Gulf of California and other motions. But the final
package is coming — and they still have a chance to do the right
thing.

Supporting this final package will help protect
blue and fin whales, whale sharks, leatherback sea turtles, and
near-extinct vaquitas that call the Gulf of California waters
home, along with thousands of wildlife species around the world
suffering from global trade, habitat loss, pollution and other
factors.

Add your name to our petition for global wildlife
survival. ( [link removed] )

Add My Name ( [link removed] )

Too often, the U.S. has stepped back from global
climate and biodiversity conservation agreements. That failure
has weakened international cooperation and put nature and people
at greater risk. But this moment is a chance to change course.

Add your signature urging U.S. delegates to
reaffirm their commitment to working with countries across the
globe to protect the world’s wildlife, nature, and the human
right to a healthy and sustainable planet. ( [link removed] )

Protecting ecosystems also protects the
climate. And right now, both are facing existential threats that
can only be stopped through global cooperation. The United States
must be part of the solution — especially now, at the World
Conservation Congress.

When NRDC votes in the Members’ Assembly and as our
NRDC delegation participates in the other events of the Congress
in Abu Dhabi a few days from now, we will feel emboldened knowing
that we have thousands of NRDC supporters like you standing
behind us. Thank you for adding your name. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Shelley Vinyard
