At a Glance: The Future of Our Forests and the Species That Call Them Home

The Threat: The Trump administration is moving to gut the Roadless Rule, putting millions of acres of irreplaceable forests at risk of being destroyed by logging.

What's at Stake: Critical habitat for wolves, grizzlies, salmon, and countless other species, clean water, and climate stability.

NRDC's Role: We've mobilized more than 43,000 members to submit public comments opposing this rollback while our legal team considers all of our options to protect our forested public lands, including going to court.

Your Impact: Your $5 gift to NRDC will be 2X matched up to $65,000 until Sept. 30 — doubling your power to protect our forests, wildlife, and planet.

Dear NRDC Supporter,

The Trump administration is rolling back protections for wildlife everywhere — and now, one of the greatest safeguards for our forests is at risk. The Roadless Rule, which for decades has shielded tens of millions of acres of critical forests from destructive logging and road-building, is on the chopping block.

If this rule is gutted, we could see chainsaws tear into ancient old-growth forests, salmon runs poisoned by pollution, and wolves, grizzlies, and owls losing the habitat they've depended on for centuries.

Will you help us defend these forests and the wildlife that call them home by making a gift today? Your $5 gift to protect our environment on all fronts will be 2X matched, up to $65,000, until September 30.

This isn't the first time the Roadless Rule has been targeted, and it's not the first time NRDC and our members have risen to defend it.

For decades, we've taken on industrial loggers, defended the Roadless Rule in court, and built a record of wins that prove people power works. In particular, the support of our members has helped us protect Alaska's Tongass National Forest, one of the largest intact temperate rainforests left on Earth.

We can do it again — but only if we act now.

NRDC is exploring every legal avenue, mobilizing grassroots pressure, and ensuring facts are front and center in this debate. But success depends on the power of our members.

Your support of just $5 today will help sustain this work and ensure these protections hold. And until September 30, your donation will be doubled when it's needed most.

We can't sit back and lose hope in the face of this administration's anti-environment agenda. The stakes are too high, and the cost of inaction too great.

Together, we can keep America's wild forests standing, protect the wildlife that call them home, and pass on the majesty of these special places to future generations.

Will you make your 2X matched gift right now, before the September 30 deadline, to protect the Roadless Rule, the Tongass, and forests across the country? Your urgent support will protect our environment on all fronts.

Thank you for all you do.
