From the Arctic wilderness to the misty groves of the Appalachians to the rolling hills of the Great Plains to our beautiful coasts, America is home to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, lush wildlife, and natural beauty. Unfortunately, too many of our natural wonders have been lost to logging, mining, oil drilling, and overdevelopment. That’s why we are working to protect America’s last pristine places, critical wildlife habitat, and the laws that protect them.
Campaigns:
Save America's Arctic: The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is an environmental treasure that must be protected from oil drilling and oil spills.
Endangered Species: Wildlife from the bald eagle to the grizzly bear have been protected by the Endangered Species Act. Efforts to weaken the law to esure we can protect endangered species for future generations.
Save Our Wild Forests: We must protect our last pristine national forests, which provide critical wildlife habitat, drinking water for millions of Americans, and endless recreational opportunities.
