GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Sponsor Glacier National Park

In 20 years, there may be no more glaciers left in Glacier National Park! Warming temperatures, due to climate change, are slowly melting the world-renowned glaciers, threatening to alter the landscape forever. Sponsor Glacier today and help protect this wild place for generations to come.

About Glacier

Glacier National Park is a ruggedly beautiful wilderness of sharp, precipitous peaks, majestic forests, sparkling lakes and world-renowned glaciers. Created in 1910, this unique and beautiful place is home to:

• Over 70 species of mammals including mountain lions, grizzly bears, wolverines, lynxes, wolves, and moose.
• Diverse terrain: alpine meadows, snow-capped mountains, and freshwater lakes.
• More than 700 miles of trails for hiking or horseback riding.

Unfortunately, the glaciers of Glacier National Park, like glaciers all over the world, are shrinking as warming temperatures are melting them away. Park scientists predict there may not be a single glacier left in Glacier National Park by 2030. Curbing the effects of climate change is a top priority for the Sierra Club, and Glacier Park is a vivid example of how rising temperatures will alter the American landscape forever.

Sierra Club and Glacier

The Sierra Club was one of the very first champions of Glacier National Park, advocating for its initial establishment 1910. Today, the Sierra Club is focused on protecting Glacier from the impacts of climate change. Through our Resilient Habitats initiative we are working to aggressively preserve and reduce the vulnerability of the natural places most affected by climate change. In order to help wildlife and native plants survive, it is necessary reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the effects of climate change on the habitats the wildlife depend on. We need to act now to make sure that the park doesn’t lose its mountain goats, wolverines, bull trout, glacier lilies and other natural treasures as a result of climate change.

Help support the Sierra Club’s conservation efforts on behalf of Glacier National Park so that its beauty can be experienced for generations to come.
