What Does Wildlife Have To Do With Politics? 

At Defenders of Wildlife, we’re often asked: “What do politics have to do with saving wildlife?” The answer: everything. Legislation like the Endangered Species Act gives us the best chance to protect wildlife and safeguard habitats, ensuring healthy ecosystems and helping to combat threats like the biodiversity and climate crisis. Protecting wildlife is not a partisan issue. Be sure you’re registered to vote and inform yourself about what’s at stake for wildlife.
