| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE KLAMATH-SISKIYOU WILDLANDS CENTER (KS WILD) IS AN ADVOCATE FOR THE FORESTS, WATERS AND WILDLIFE OF THE KLAMATH AND ROGUE BASINS OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWEST OREGON. WE USE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, SCIENCE, COLLABORATION AND EDUCATION TO DEFEND HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS AND HELP BUILD SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | ROAD BUILDING, CATTLE OVERGRAZING AND SUPPRESSION OF NATURAL FIRES, KS WILD OPERATES AS A PUBLIC LANDS WATCHDOG ORGANIZATION. KS WILD PARTICIPATES IN THE PUBLIC PLANNING PROCESS DEFINED IN THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT THROUGH TECHNICAL INPUT AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO SUPPORT ECOLOGICALLY BENEFICIAL LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECTS AND OPPOSE THREATS TO FOREST HEALTH, CLEAN WATER AND BIODIVERSITY. KS WILD ALSO ACHIEVES ITS MISSION THROUGH A VARIETY OF LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS THAT ADDRESS A RANGE OF LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION NEEDS - INCLUDING CONSERVATION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES, CLEAN WATER PROTECTION AND WILDERNESS ADVOCACY. WE HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES TO ORGANIZE IN RURAL COMMUNITIES WHERE RESIDENTS ARE OFTEN NEIGHBORS TO PUBLIC LANDS. FOR MANY IN OUR REGION, DRINKING WATER ORIGINATES FROM SOURCES ON PUBLIC LAND. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, KS WILD HAS WORKED WITH A COALITION OF CONSERVATION PARTNERS TO PROTECT NOT ONLY DRINKING WATER SOURCES, BUT WILDLIFE HABITAT IN THE KALMIOPSIS REGION OF SOUTHWEST OREGON. OUR PARTNERSHIP HAS REACHED OUT TO LOCAL OFFICIALS, BUSINESS LEADERS, RECREATIONAL USER GROUPS, AND TRIBAL REPRESENTATIVES TO BUILD A STRONG COALITION THAT OPPOSED TOXIC NICKEL MINING PROPOSALS IN ROUGH & READY, BALDFACE AND HUNTER CREEKS. MORE THAN 25,000 PEOPLE SUBMITTED LETTERS OF SUPPORT TO LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES IN FAVOR OF CONSERVING MORE THAN 100,000 ACRES AND 100 MILES OF WATERWAYS. THESE WATERWAYS PROVIDE DRINKING WATER BUT ALSO SERVE AS VITAL WILD SALMON AND STEELHEAD HABITAT. THE US FOREST SERVICE AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTED A 2-YEAR MORATORIUM ON ALL MINING ACTIVITIES WHILE THEY DEVELOPED ADMINISTRATIVE STRATEGIES TO PROTECT THE REGION FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. AS PART OF OUR LEGAL DEFENSE WORK, KS WILD ESTABLISHED IMPORTANT NEW CASE LAW CONCERNING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANS. IN THE FALL OF 2015, WE SECURED A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY FOR ENDANGERED COHO SALMON AND NORTHERN SPOTTED OWLS IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT. KS WILD AND LEGAL COUNSEL ACHIEVED VACATUR OF ALL OF FRUIT GROWERS' SUPPLY COMPANY'S "TAKE" PERMITS TO HARM AND KILL THREATENED SPECIES ASSOCIATED WITH LOGGING PRIVATE LANDS ACROSS 150,000 IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. KS WILD'S CONSERVATION DIRECTOR CONTINUES TO MONITOR AND GROUND-TRUTH FGS ACTIONS ON THE GROUND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO PURSUE INDIVIDUAL TIMBER HARVEST PLANS OR THPS. FORTUNATELY, OUR VICTORY IN COURT OVER THE HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANS WILL KEEP IN PLACE STRONGER ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SAFEGUARDS AND PREVENT THE "TAKE" OF ENDANGERED OWLS AND COHO SALMON. IN THE APPLEGATE VALLEY, WE WORKED WITH FAMILY FARMERS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS TO DEVELOP THE APPLEGATE VISION, A COMMUNITY PLAN THAT EMPHASIZES RESTORATION AND RECREATION ON OUR PUBLIC LANDS OVER EXPLOITATION AND CLEAR-CUT LOGGING. FOR MANY IN THE REGION, THE THREAT OF WILDFIRES IS INCREASING EACH YEAR AS THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE INTENSIFY. OUR WORK IN THE APPLEGATE VALLEY HAS HELPED SPUR THE REJUVENATION OF PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY ACTION WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE AGENCIES ON LAND MANAGEMENT PLANNING EFFORTS AIMED AT CREATING FIRE-SAFE COMMUNITIES AND PREPARING OUR FORESTS TO BE MORE RESILIENT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | AGENCY ACTIONS ON THE CLEAN WATER ACT AND ENERGY ISSUES, ADVOCATING FOR PERMANENT PROTECTION OF SOUTHERN OREGON'S NATURAL WONDERS AND SEEKING RESTORATION AND LONG-TERM VITALITY FOR THE ROGUE RIVER AND ITS TRIBUTARIES. AS STRESSES MOUNT FROM INCREASED DEVELOPMENT, AMPLIFIED WATER DEMAND AND THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, THE ROGUE RIVERKEEPER PROGRAM COULD NOT BE MORE TIMELY OR NECESSARY. THROUGH ENFORCEMENT OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, ROGUE RIVERKEEPER WORKS TO ENSURE THAT OUR NATION'S WATER QUALITY LAWS ARE NOT IGNORED. KS WILD'S ROGUE RIVERKEEPER PROGRAM CONTINUES TO WORK WITH CONSERVATION ALLIES IN OPPOSING A 230-MILE LONG LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS PIPELINE AND EXPORT FACILITY IN SOUTHERN OREGON. THE PACIFIC CONNECTOR PIPELINE WOULD CUT ACROSS THE ROGUE, COQUILLE, AND UMPQUA RIVER WATERSHEDS, AS WELL AS 400 ADDITIONAL WATERWAY CROSSINGS. IT WOULD ALSO IMPACT PRIVATE LANDOWNERS THREATENED WITH EMINENT DOMAIN. ROGUE RIVERKEEPER HAS CONTINUED TO MONITOR THE MYRIAD OF STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TASKED WITH APPROVING PERMITS UNDER THE CLEAN WATER ACT. OUR OVERSIGHT IN 2015 HAS PUT US IN A POSITION TO DEFEAT THE PROPOSED PIPELINE AND EXPORT PROJECT. OUR ONLINE ACTION ALERTS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING HELPED DELIVER THOUSANDS OF LETTERS TO STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. AT A RALLY IN SALEM, MORE THAN 700 PEOPLE GATHERED TO EDUCATE LEADERS ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS ON OUR CLIMATE AND OUR WATERWAYS. IN ADDITION TO OUR WORK ADVOCATING FOR A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE, ROGUE RIVERKEEPER HAS BEEN CONDUCTING REGULAR WATER QUALITY MONITORING OF LOCAL CREEKS AND SWIMMING HOLES ACROSS THE ROGUE BASIN. FROM MARCH TO OCTOBER EACH YEAR, STAFF AND VOLUNTEER SAMPLE WATER QUALITY AT A HANDFUL OF RECREATIONAL SITES. OUR WATER QUALITY DATA IS THEN UPLOADED TO THE SAFE SWIM GUIDE, AN APP DEVELOPED BY THE WATERKEEPER ALLIANCE. LOCAL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE CAN NOW FIND OUT THE CONDITIONS OF SWIMMING HOLES WHERE THEY FREQUENT. WITH STATE AGENCIES LIMITED BY FUNDING AND RESOURCES, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ENSURE OUR WATERWAYS ARE SAFE FOR RECREATING. |
