Dear NRDC Activist,
This new year we face a grueling battle to save three natural wonders from fossil fuel and industrial devastation: Alaska's Bristol Bay, New Mexico's Greater Chaco region, and Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades.
For too long, polluters have had the green light to pillage and destroy these cherished wild lands — many of them sacred to Native communities.
Right now, corporate interests seeking endless profit plan to transform these rare natural gems into industrial sacrifice zones — forever scarred with oil wells, open-pit mines, roads, and other infrastructure prone to leaks and poisonous waste. It must be stopped.
Will you help NRDC stop destructive drilling and mining in Bristol Bay, the Greater Chaco region, and Big Cypress National Preserve? Your $5 gift will make THREE TIMES the impact — thanks to a 3x MATCH offer that EXPIRES tomorrow!
Bristol Bay — As the world's most productive wild salmon fishery and the cultural and economic lifeblood of the region's Native people, Bristol Bay is at risk from the destructive proposed Pebble Mine. Donate now. |

|
Big Cypress — The irreplaceable ecosystems of Big Cypress, which help provide clean drinking water to many communities in Florida, would be forever ruined by new climate-busting drilling. Donate now. |
|
Greater Chaco — New technologies that use horizontal drilling and fracking threaten to pollute the air and water of the mountains, mesas, and ancestral sites of this culturally significant landscape. Donate now. |
|
Your support to help NRDC defend these iconic public lands is so crucial that the daughter of NRDC Founding President John Adams, Kate Adams, her husband Duke Wiser, and their family will triple match your $5 donation up to a total of $330,000, but only until MIDNIGHT TOMORROW!
Please help: Donate just $5 or more so that NRDC's team of lawyers, scientists, and policy experts can fight to protect our nation's most prized public lands, our environment, and our climate from the endless profiteering of corporate interests. Every $1 = $3 — tripling your impact.
I hope you'll respond today to ensure we win permanent protections for these irreplaceable public lands.
Sincerely,
Alison Kelly
Senior Attorney, Lands Division, NRDC
