We all share a love for wildlife and wild places. Unless we come together to protect them, these national treasures will be lost forever.
Become a Wildlife Defender.
Quote from Defenders of Wildlife President & CEO, Andrew Bowman
“America was the first country in the world to create national parks and a national system of wildlife refuges.

This is part of what makes us proud to be Americans and prouder still to pass these great treasures to the next generation. But our American legacy is in danger.”

Wildlife Defenders
Wildlife Defenders are part of a growing grassroots community speaking up for nature. This advocate network provides opportunities for individuals to utilize a range of advocacy tactics to support our imperiled wildlife, cherished landscapes, and the cornerstone conservation laws that protect our environment.
In order to protect the planet, and our own future, we need to rise up and demand action on biodiversity loss, climate change, and all the environmental challenges we face.
"I am proud to be a Defender of Wildlife so my loved ones can enjoy wildlife for generations to come. My hope is they also grow up with a love and appreciation for the natural world."
-Eileen M., Midlothian, VA
