National Wildlife Federation

America's conservation organization, protecting wildlife for our children's future by restoring wildlife habitat, confronting global warming and connecting people with nature through education programs and publications, including Ranger Rick Magazine.

Why do we exist?

The National Wildlife Federation recognizes that a secure future for wildlife depends on balancing the needs of both people and wildlife for habitat.  NWF members and volunteers are sensible people trying to save the real places they know and love.

What have you accomplished?

NWF’s Great Lakes Natural Resource Center won a key victory last year when the EPA settled an NWF lawsuit by agreeing to implement the Great Waters Program mandated by the Clean Air Act to curb airborne toxins.  NWF had another success last year when a federal appeals court upheld the Great Lakes Initiative, stringent water quality standards enacted after years of NWF and citizen action.

In Atlanta, NWF assisted with the Carver Hills Initiative, cleaning up the community, restoring a local creek, starting a trail project, and more.  The campaign also succeeded in closing a nearby sanitary landfill that had resulted in multiple environmental and human health injustices.
