Tweet"When it comes to protecting wildlife, party affiliation shouldn’t matter."
Jamie Rappaport Clark, Former president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife, issued the following statement in response to the preliminary results from yesterday's midterm election:
"Yesterday, voters elected leaders – Republican and Democrat – who will lead efforts to fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. Most Americans value wildlife and wild places, and when it comes to protecting wildlife, party affiliation shouldn’t matter. What matters is preserving habitat, giving wildlife a chance at survival and keeping our planet healthy for all species. Defenders of Wildlife looks forward to continuing our work with Congress and the Biden administration to advance policies to protect wildlife and preserve the habitat on which they depend."
For over 75 years, Defenders of Wildlife has remained dedicated to protecting all native animals and plants in their natural communities. With a nationwide network of nearly 2.1 million members and supporters, Defenders of Wildlife is a leading advocate for innovative solutions to safeguard our wildlife for generations to come.
