Kyra Sedgwick: You Made It Happen - NRDC Victories

I hope you'll watch our short video - narrated by actress, activist and NRDC Member Kyra Sedgwick - so you can see all the exciting victories we won in 2013.

Over the past 12 months, we helped persuade British mining giant Anglo American to quit the destructive Pebble Mine ... made sure that polar bears will keep their all-important federal protection .. saved 11 million acres of vital wildlife habitat in the Western Arctic Reserve from oil development ... came to the legal defense of local citizens in New York who opposed the spread of fracking in their community ... and prevailed on many other fronts.

Even as this year draws to a close, our fight for nature never ends. Our staff of more than 400 environmental litigators, scientists and other experts will be working right through the holidays - and into the new year - to turn back new attacks on wildlife and wild places.

With your support, we'll be going all out to prevent Shell from endangering the Polar Bear Seas ... turn up the pressure on mining giant Rio Tinto to abandon the Pebble Mine ... block the climate-wrecking Keystone XL tar sands pipeline ... protect whales from the U.S. Navy's use of deafening sonar and explosives ... and that's just a small part of what's in store.

That's why, after you watch this powerful video of the past year's biggest triumphs, I hope you'll feel inspired to make a tax-deductible gift so that NRDC can go right on defending our natural heritage over the year ahead in the most effective way possible.

I look forward to having you alongside us as we come to the rescue of wildlife and wildlands in 2014.

Sincerely,
 
Frances Beinecke
