John, the Environmental Protection Agency plans to redefine which of our nation’s wetlands will receive protection from pollution and destruction.

And we did the math: Up to 90 million acres of wetlands, about the size of Montana, are at risk.

We’re fighting back against these potential rollbacks, but we need reinforcements — and fast.

Please join our Spring Membership Drive and start a monthly gift to support healthy ecosystems that fight climate change and protect our communities.

Thanks to the $1-for-$1 match from the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust, your monthly support will go twice as far to provide our teams with the resources needed to defend against challenges like this and more.

Wetlands are critical to our health, safety and environment. And without protection, they are at risk of being drained, developed and polluted.

If wetlands are destroyed, our communities will pay the price with more frequent flooding and increased water pollution leading to higher water and home insurance bills.

Our environment will pay a price too. Destroying these habitats will impact our fish and wildlife and release large amounts of carbon back into the atmosphere. In the United States, wetlands are home to 75% of our commercially harvested fish and shellfish.

John, please start a monthly gift today to double your impact — for wetlands, wildlife, communities and the planet.

Thanks for protecting the places and people we love,
