LAST CHANCE: Your 5x match opportunity to save Big Cypress expires in hours! If we don’t give this fight everything we've got, Big Oil will succeed in tearing open one of Florida’s most critical habitats — home to the 200 Florida panthers left in the world — for more dirty, dangerous oil drilling.

Donate now and multiply your impact 5x — up to $50,000 — to stop Big Oil from destroying Big Cypress before it's too late.

UNTIL TOMORROW: 5x MATCH TO BLOCK BIG OIL

A massive oil spill from an underwater pipeline leak off the coast of Southern California spewed 144,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific, tarring and killing birds, fish, and other marine life, and threatening ecosystems and coastal and fishing communities.

This disaster is devastating, URGENT proof that we must block destructive fossil fuel operations wherever and whenever we can — including irreplaceable ecosystems like Big Cypress National Preserve. Please help us protect it >>

NRDC Activist,

A 5x match is incredibly rare. But thanks to an anonymous donor, we're able to offer it now — because this fight to save the Florida Everglades' Big Cypress National Preserve is so urgent.

You have ONE day left to take advantage of this offer — donate now and multiply your impact FIVE TIMES — up to $50,000! Your $5 will turn into $25 to protect Big Cypress and defend our environment on all fronts so please hurry!

The Burnett Oil Company wants to rip open this precious land to build drill pads, oil wells, and access roads, all to bolster its dirty energy profits — no matter the cost to our climate and our planet.

If the company gets their way, they'll obliterate Big Cypress as we know it. It'll destroy lands that are forever entwined with the well-being of Indigenous tribes... the last home of the around 200 remaining Florida panthers and other endangered wildlife... a critical carbon sink vital to stemming runaway climate change... and wetlands that supply 40% of the fresh water flowing into Everglades National Park.

We cannot let that happen. Please, make your 5x matched gift today.

Your generosity today will come right when it's needed most. As you read this, the National Park Service is considering whether to approve Burnett Oil's operations permit.

Your gift will help us mobilize a massive public outcry — and go to court if necessary — to block this permit and save Big Cypress.

And until midnight tomorrow — your donation will make FIVE TIMES the impact.

Donate $5 before MIDNIGHT tomorrow and we'll MATCH your gift 5x, up to $50,000.

If we're going to fend off a complete climate meltdown, we must save the natural treasures we have left from destructive drilling and break our country's addiction to fossil fuels.

With your help, that's just what we'll do.

Sincerely,

NRDC
