Colorado is known for its sweeping vistas, iconic wildlife, and opportunities to immerse yourself in nature. That's why Defenders of Wildlife is actively engaged in coexistence, habitat restoration, wildlife crossings and environmental policy across the state.
Colorado's 74th legislative session began on January 9, 2023. Behind the scenes, we are collaborating with fellow conservation organizations to advocate for bills that benefit, and tackling legislation that jeopardize, our wildlife. Thankfully, Colorado is known for progressive laws and strong values for conservation, but we may need you to be ready to contact your legislators and stand up! We are always hoping for another howling year for wildlife.
There are also plenty of ways for you to engage and advocate for Colorado’s wildlife beyond the legislature. Our experts on the ground have community-science projects and occasional volunteer opportunities for you to get involved in.
We will reach out to you directly with legislative actions and events, so be sure to sign up for our alerts!
