Great news for the environment is rare these days, so it's all the more
important to celebrate when we get some.

I'm thrilled to report a big leap forward in our ambitious campaign to
save the world's last unspoiled gray whale nursery at San Ignacio Lagoon in
Baja, Mexico.

Yesterday, an historic agreement was signed that will permanently
protect 120,000 undeveloped acres on the banks of the gray whale lagoon. This
breakthrough deal is the first phase in our visionary plan to protect
one million acres surrounding the greatest whale breeding ground on Earth.

And it was made possible thanks to $1.5 million in generous donations
from NRDC Members and supporters like you!

As you know, the gray whale nursery has been repeatedly threatened by
plans for industrialization. But our new agreement sends industry a message loud
and clear: we will do whatever it takes to safeguard Mother Nature's last
untouched sanctuary for the gray whale.

Please click on the links below to read two news stories -- one short,
one longer -- about the extraordinary importance of this conservation deal.

And on behalf of everyone at NRDC -- and our partners in the Laguna San
Ignacio Conservation Alliance -- let me thank you again for helping turn our
ambitious dream into a beautiful reality for the magnificent gray whale.

Sincerely,

John H. Adams
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
