Dear NRDC Supporter,

The Trump administration is once again trying to recklessly auction off the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil and gas drilling, putting one of the last truly wild places on Earth on the chopping block.

Today, NRDC is suing to stop their destructive plan.

Will you rush an emergency gift to help NRDC fight back against unmitigated fossil fuel expansion — in the Arctic and across the country? When you give today, your support with be DOUBLED by Kate Adams, Duke Wiser, and their family.

President Trump and Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum plan to offer up 1.56 million acres of the Refuge's Coastal Plain to fossil fuel corporations — sacrificing a pristine wilderness for corporate profit.

We won't let that happen without a fight. For decades, NRDC has defended the Arctic Refuge in and out of court. We've worked to prevent reckless drilling schemes before, and we're ready to do it again because the stakes could not be higher.

Oil and gas activity in the Arctic Refuge would severely disrupt a landscape that spans over 19 million acres and serves as a safe haven for wildlife found almost nowhere else on Earth.

Polar bears rely on it to den and raise their cubs ... caribou herds migrate across it ... more than 200 species of migratory birds travel from all seven continents to feed and breed there each summer.

, we need you in this fight. Make a gift to NRDC today and every dollar, up to $250,000, will be matched — doubling your impact for the Arctic and the cherished places that need us most.

The Arctic is not empty land ... it is a living breathing ecosystem. It's a carbon sink that helps stabilize our climate at a moment when we can least afford more pollution.

And make no mistake: this is a political decision driven by fossil fuel greed — not science, not public interest, and not the will of the Indigenous people who call the Arctic home.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is not for sale.

It is sacred land.
It's a sanctuary for wildlife.
And it's part of our shared future.

NRDC is taking the Trump administration to court because this fight demands the strongest tool we have: the law.

But these lawsuits require the sort of resources and flexibility that only NRDC supporters can provide.

Will you make a 2x matched gift today to support NRDC's defense of the Arctic and help to safeguard our environment on all fronts?

Our planet, our wildlife, and our future are all on the line.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Bobby McEnaney
Director, Land Conservation, NRDC
