Once nature is no longer protected, it is hard or – in some
cases – impossible to get back. As environmental stewards process where we are
at this moment in America, it’s time to double down. Vital lands and resources
are once again at risk, and it’s up to us to protect them. For a preview of the
kinds of changes waiting ahead, the folks at Alt National Park shared this
impact list compiled from 4 years ago.
Seek out the causes that are important to you: local lands, state & national parks, tribal lands, ocean health, endangered organisms. Join groups that monitor environmental issues so that you have enough notice to take action when needed. In addition to the ones mentioned in the linked article (Earthjustice, Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club, National Resources Defense Council), I would also mention Southern Environmental Law Center and The Nature Conservancy.
Donate your time, your talents, and money if you are able.
As always, convince others that these issues are important. Remember, there is no Planet B and birds,
insects, and animals have only us to speak for them. Let’s get busy.
