A chainsaw to the Department of the Interior?

 

WILDLIFE UNDER ATTACK: UNLOCK $25,000! Is a “chainsaw” on its way to the Department of the Interior? We could soon see massive changes to the agencies charged with managing our natural resources, including public lands, parks and wildlife. Sec. Doug Burgum has signed over the protection of our iconic wildlife and beloved landscapes to a former DOGE staffer and oil industry tycoon with the instruction to take “all necessary actions” to eviscerate the laws and regulations preventing extinction, while he takes a back seat on the department he’s supposed to be running. It’s clear that the Trump administration is more interested in targeting scientists, researchers and other experts than it is in reversing an extinction crisis. But we won’t let them abandon our nation’s wildlife! Join us in holding our leaders accountable and fighting back for America’s most vulnerable animals! Your gift plus $25,000 in bonus conservation funding will keep us in the fight!
