Imagine it’s a summer day, and you’re excited to get outside and enjoy a warm breeze, beautiful birdsong, and the sun on your skin. Instead, you walk into an eerie, hazy atmosphere. Your eyes burn. Breathing hurts. The streets are empty.

Andy, many people in the United States don’t have to imagine this – they’ve just lived it. As wildfires rage in North America, the smoke and pollution they produce are leaving communities near and far suffering.

What if we told you that Trump’s plans for our National Forests could make this our new normal?

That’s right, Andy: our National Forests contain valuable old-growth trees, some THOUSANDS of years old. Mature trees like these are crucial to withstanding forest fires and protecting our nation from the worst impacts of climate change. We can’t let Trump slash them down without a second thought. That’s why we’re reaching out to you ahead of World Conservation Day tomorrow, so you can be one of the FIRST to donate and fight back for our planet. As one of our top supporters, we made you a special link to get ahead of the rush:

Here’s why your World Conservation Day gift matters so much today: A Trump Executive Order is allowing widescale logging across MILLIONS of acres of our National Forests – and now, his MAGA cronies in Congress are standing behind him and pushing forward anti-forest legislation that could make his plans even worse.

Without action, majestic forests could soon be slashed down for profit – leaving only stumps in their wake. And the problem can’t be solved by planting a few new trees. Without fire-resistant mature trees, wildfires can more easily tear through forests, abandoning wildlife without homes and leaving communities shrouded in hazardous air. A recent study found that extended exposure to wildfire smoke can lead to long-term health impacts like respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and even premature death!

Without action, the damage could be unthinkable – and our once great National Forests could become nothing but a shadow of themselves. All of this, just to quench the greed of Trump’s corporate allies.

That’s why Friends of the Earth is fighting back. With your help, we're working to safeguard our planet's vital forests and all who rely them. But there’s more work to do – and we need your help to maximize our impact. All the while, Trump and his allies are only ramping up their planet-killing destruction for the sake of profit. We can’t let them win.

We don't have a second to waste, so please, before the rush tomorrow: will you make an early-bird World Conservation Day donation right now to protect priceless ecosystems and ensure our planet thrives?

Standing with you,

Friends of the Earth
