A Note From Travis:
In the face of challenging headwinds, Defenders of Wildlife continues to advocate for critical funding and vital programs that save vulnerable ecosystems. And over the past year, our efforts have produced results. We’ve expanded our on-the-ground coexistence work, testified against harmful environmental regulations in statehouses and on Capitol Hill, stood up for wildlife in court, and blocked the sell-off of millions of acres of public land. In each of these successes, our Wildlife Ambassadors have been beside us every step of the way.
On behalf of everyone at Defenders, thank you for the support and leadership you provide.
