Dear NRDC Activist,

As our planet faces the double-barreled threats of an extinction crisis
and out-of-control climate change, the last thing we need is more oil
drilling — especially on our national preserves.

But that's Big Oil's plan for Big Cypress National Preserve, in the heart
of the Florida Everglades.

If Burnett Oil gets its way, this lush wild land — vital to Indigenous
communities and a critical habitat for the endangered Florida panther —
will be transformed into an industrial sacrifice zone, forever scarred
with drill pads, oil wells, roads, and other infrastructure prone to
spills and leaks, including oil, drilling fluids, and potentially other
toxic materials.

NRDC is racing to block Burnett Oil, putting pressure on the Interior
Department to reject the company's drilling permits, and preparing to head
to court, if we must, to protect this priceless preserve — but we really
need your support.

Thanks to a NEW 5x match offer, starting now, if you donate before the
clock strikes midnight on October 7th — you will make FIVE TIMES the
impact to protect Big Cypress and other wild places!

[ [link removed] ]Help us stop Big Oil from unleashing more climate-wrecking drilling in
Big Cypress and defend our environment on all fronts. Make your donation
by MIDNIGHT on October 7th, and it will be matched FIVE TIMES — up to
$50,000! Even just $5 will make a huge
impact!

There's nowhere on Earth quite like
Big Cypress.

The preserve's 730,000 acres of critical wetlands, cypress forests,
mangroves, and other ecosystems are an important source of freshwater for
Everglades National Park.

Big Cypress is also home to hundreds of cultural and archaeological
resources, and Indigenous communities rely on the preserve for customary
and traditional uses. Their ways of life and well-being are inextricably
tied to this land.

And as climate change fuels stronger and more frequent deadly storms, Big
Cypress buffers local communities from storm surges and violent weather,
and acts as a carbon sink, sucking carbon from the atmosphere and locking
it away.

This one-of-a-kind wilderness treasure should be part of our climate
solution — not handed over to the fossil fuel industry to further
exacerbate the climate crisis.

[ [link removed] ]Stop Big Oil from destroying this irreplaceable natural treasure —
donate now with as little as $5
and make FIVE TIMES the impact, thanks to
a brand-new, limited 5x MATCHING GIFT offer. We'll immediately put it to
work to defend our environment in the most effective way possible.

Right now, the National Park Service is weighing whether to rubber-stamp
Burnett Oil's plans to tear open Big Cypress to climate-trashing oil
development. We must make sure that doesn't happen.

Your donation today will help galvanize an overwhelming public outcry to
shield this embattled sanctuary from the ravages of destructive drilling
and help us do everything we can — even go to court if necessary — to save
this priceless preserve from fossil fuel destruction.

[ [link removed] ]Donate now — and help save this climate-saving ecosystem from Big Oil's
onslaught. Remember — for the next few days your donation
of just $5 will be matched
5x to help us defend our environment in the most effective way possible.

Your generosity today will help stave off worsening climate change and
give future generations a chance to know this tranquil preserve where
Florida panthers still roam free. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Alison Kelly
Senior Attorney, NRDC
