The White House is attempting to misuse the Antiquities Act to do away with 90% of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.

It didn't work the first time he tried it nine years ago, and it won't work today!

Today, Great Old Broads for Wilderness joined other conservation organizations in challenging President Trump's unlawful decimation of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in U.S. District Court.

The suit seeks to reactivate litigation against Trump’s 2017 monument rollbacks, and challenge both sets of illegal proclamations together.

A report says the Trump Administration is trying to cede a quarter-mile parcel of land inside Yosemite National Park to a private developer, so they can build a road to access 83 acres of private property that borders the park.

We say that Yosemite National Park is not the White House's to give away. And if an iconic and beloved landscape like Yosemite National Park isn't safe, then no place is safe.

ACTION ALERT!

The Roadless Rule has been one of the most important and impactful conservation tools in the federal toolbox, protecting millions of trees from almost certain destruction from logging and other destructive activities.

And now the USFS wants to get rid of it. The agency has released a Draft Environmental Impact Study and a proposed rule that would end the Roadless Rule, and has opened up a 30-day commenting period which closes September 21.

We’ve all seen the stream of bad news from Washington D.C.

Along the southern border, the feds want to deepen the catastrophe for wildlife by building new stretches of border wall through protected desert and Indigenous lands.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Forest Service is trying to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which prohibits the construction of new roads in millions of acres of national forest.

These attacks on public lands are grim reminders of the destructive forces that see these special shared places only in terms of dollar signs. But there are steps we can take today to fight back!

Please join us on Thursday, August 27 for a special Lunch & Learn event to learn how to take action on these urgent issues today!
