While we have you... please support our environment reporting

From climate change to conservation, the Guardian is committed to covering Washington’s assault on environmental protections. We’re currently seeking contributions to support This Land Is Your Land, our series on the government’s giveaway of America’s public lands. More than 640m acres of land – including national monuments and parks used for hiking, camping, fishing and hunting – are threatened by proposals that could give private developers and oil, gas and mining interests unprecedented control of our shared resources.

Thanks to the generosity of our readers, we reached our original $50,000 goal in just 31 hours. Additional funds raised between now and July 31 will be used to support the Guardian’s extended coverage of public lands and other critical environmental issues facing America.
