Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Going to court to protect America’s national parks is expensive.

But leaving parks defenseless is even more costly in terms of permanently damaged landscapes, polluted air and water and wildlife being pushed closer to extinction.

That’s why your support of NPCA’s National Parks Legal Defense Fund is so crucial. Today, we’re involved in several cases that have the potential to produce urgently needed actions to reduce the impacts of climate change, the greatest threat to our beloved parks.

The stakes are high every time NPCA’s National Parks Legal Defense Fund goes to court — for the parks and for parks lovers like you. And with more than 30 active cases on our current litigation docket, we urgently need your support right now. Friend of the National Parks, can we count on you?

Remember, make a generous gift to NPCA by March 31 and it will be matched 100% by a generous NPCA donor — up to $30,000 — to strengthen our National Parks Legal Defense Fund and other critical park protection efforts!

More than 15 years ago, the National Park Service announced a plan to protect Biscayne National Park’s marine wildlife and habitat against the ravages of overuse and commercial fishing.

Unfortunately, that plan has yet to be implemented. And each day that passes without a protected marine reserve in Biscayne puts this magnificent underwater treasure at greater risk. That’s why NPCA has filed a lawsuit to compel the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior to do as the law requires and protect the wonders of America’s largest marine national park.

We refuse to sit idly by as conditions in Biscayne worsen. We have been fighting for Biscayne from the beginning. And we need dedicated supporters like you to help us keep fighting until we win.

Please help NPCA make a strong legal defense of Biscayne and all of the national parks by investing in our National Parks Legal Defense Fund today!

The administration recently heeded our call to protect Chaco Culture National Historic Park against oil and gas drilling within 10 miles of the park and its sacred landscapes — the result of you speaking up for the parks, so you know what we can accomplish when we work together.

As our parks continue to face threats that could forever change them for the worse, your voice and support have never been more important.

Please donate today to DOUBLE the impact of your gift to help NPCA mount a strategic and vigorous defense of our national parks and monuments in the courts and beyond.

Thank you for supporting NPCA’s urgent work to keep America’s most scenic and spectacular places safe and protected — now and forever.

With gratitude,


Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. With just one week to go before the March 31 deadline, we still need your help to reach our campaign goal.
