The Trump administration just announced a new plan to gut
public lands protections

Even while the government is shut down, the Trump
administration is continuing its efforts to prioritize
corporations over people: The administration opened up 13.1
million acres of our public lands for dirty, costly, and outdated
coal mining.

Also, the administration’s Interior Department is moving to
eliminate the landmark Public Lands Rule. Without it, we risk
losing over 200 million acres of America’s public lands to coal,
oil and gas, and other polluting industries.

The administration is taking public comments on this
devastating proposal, but only until November 10. Submit a
comment in defense of our shared public lands. ( [link removed] )

Dear NRDC Activist,

The California King Range coastal
mountains… Montana’s Upper Missouri River… Utah’s Bears Ears
National Monument… these majestic public lands are at risk.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Trump administration’s Interior Department is attempting to
repeal the landmark Public Lands Rule. Without it, we risk losing
over 200 million acres of America’s public lands to mining,
logging, and oil and gas industries.

The administration is taking public
comments on this disastrous proposal, but only until November 10.
We must speak out against their plan NOW. ( [link removed] )

WHY IT MATTERS
This reckless proposal prioritizes corporate interests over clean
drinking water, local communities, and imperiled wildlife. It
also undermines our ability to prepare for and adapt to the
growing threats of drought, wildfire, and climate change.

WHAT’S AT STAKE
On top of this destructive proposal, the Trump administration
opened up 13.1 million acres of public lands for coal mining —
one of America’s oldest, dirtiest, and most expensive power
sources — near Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park,
Capitol Reef National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument, and other iconic American landscape.

Recreation on these public lands supports local economies,
helping to contribute to the recreation industry’s more than $1.2
trillion in annual economic output, which far outpaces oil, gas,
and mining.

Tell the
administration we need the Public Lands Rule to protect our
nation’s wildlands for all to enjoy. ( [link removed] )

WHAT WE CAN DO
NRDC’s legal team is considering all of our options to keep our
public lands protected, including going to court. But activists
like you play a critical role — in 2023, NRDC activists submitted
thousands of comments that helped compel the Biden administration
to finalize the Public Lands Rule. Now we need your help to
defend it.

Please, submit your comment by November 10. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Bobby McEnaney
