Dear Andy,
It's a fact. Increasing threats like drought and climate change are making severe wildfires and stress on nature worse.
For more than 60 years, The Nature Conservancy has been at the forefront of using controlled burns — also called prescribed fire — to help reduce the risk of more extreme and damaging fires by eliminating overgrown, dried out brush, while restoring wildlife habitat.
Right now, to help ramp up urgent solutions like this for nature's most pressing challenges, every $1 you give will become $2 — up to $50,000 — during our limited-time 2X Match Campaign.
Time is of the essence. Around the world, extreme wildfire activity has more than doubled — putting communities at greater risk and increasing demands on firefighters and emergency responders. Although fire is a natural and needed occurrence in landscapes around the world, severe wildfires are becoming more frequent, more intense and larger than ever before.
There's never been a more important time to use every tool we have available to protect critical lands. Controlled burns — carefully planned and monitored burns set in landscapes that need fire to be healthy — are an important part of this many-faceted work.
Andy, will you make a gift that goes twice as far for urgent conservation today?
In just one year, we've led or assisted on 1,629 controlled burns across 38 states and more than 400,000 acres on Nature Conservancy and partners' land. That's equal to the size of Rocky Mountain National Park and Zion National Park combined!
Still, we're only able to do a fraction of what's needed. Even time-tested and proven solutions like this can only make the impact we need them to if we accelerate them.
Give today and double your impact for nature — but hurry, this match ends August 15.
Sincerely,
Dave Strauss
Director of Membership
The Nature Conservancy
