CONSERVATION ADVOCACYFROM COASTAL WETLANDS TO BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FORESTS, NATURE PLAYS A LEADING ROLE IN SEQUESTERING CARBON AND SHIELDING COMMUNITIES FROM THE EFFECTS OF SEVERE CLIMATE-FUELED FIRES, FLOODS, HURRICANES AND STORMS. BY INVESTING IN BOTH NATURAL SOLUTIONS AND CLEANER SOURCES OF ENERGY, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION BELIEVES WE CAN ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE TO STAVE OFF THE WORST IMPACTS WHILE SUPPORTING HEALTHY WILDLIFE AND BIODIVERSITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS - MAKING PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE MORE RESILIENT.ACROSS AMERICA, PEOPLE ARE PURPOSEFULLY PLANTING FOR WILDLIFE, MAKING A CONSERVATION DIFFERENCE AT HOME AND ADVANCING THE WILDLIFE GARDENING MOVEMENT AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S GARDEN FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER, WITH A RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE ESTABLISHING CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT INCLUDING THE 250,000TH REGISTRATION AT THE NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE LINKS INC. AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE THAN 8,000 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH TAYLOR MORRISON, THE COUNTRY'S FIFTH-LARGEST HOMEBUILDING COMPANY.THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S SACRED GROUNDS PROGRAM RECOGNIZES CONGREGATIONS, HOUSES OF WORSHIP AND FAITH COMMUNITIES THAT CREATE NATIVE PLANT GARDENS, ACTIVELY LINK FAITH PRACTICES WITH CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND DISSEMINATE THESE PRACTICES. TO EARN SACRED GROUNDS CERTIFICATION AS PART OF GARDEN FOR WILDLIFE, HOUSES OF WORSHIP CONDUCT OUTREACH WITHIN THEIR CONGREGATIONS AND INTO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THROUGH WORKSHOPS, GARDEN TOURS, NATIVE PLANT SALES AND OTHER EDUCATION. THESE COLLABORATIONS HELP BUILD HEALTHY HABITATS AND COMMUNITIES.TO HELP RESTORE WILD BUFFALO, WHICH WERE NEARLY EXTERMINATED A CENTURY AGO, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S TRIBAL PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM HAS BEEN WORKING IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS FOR TWO DECADES TO BRING BUFFALO HOME TO TRIBAL LANDS. THIS EFFORT HAS RESTORED MORE THAN 350 BISON TO THOSE LANDS IN RECENT YEARS, ENSURING TRIBAL CONNECTIONS TO BISON FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. BRINGING BISON BACK REVITALIZES LANDSCAPES, HABITAT AND WILDLIFE DIVERSITY WHILE REESTABLISHING NATIVE AMERICANS' CULTURAL AND HISTORIC CONNECTIONS TO BUFFALO. TO HELP REALIZE A VISION OF RESTORING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BISON ON MILLIONS OF ACRES OF TRIBAL LANDS, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION WILL CONTINUE PUSHING FOR LEGISLATION SUCH AS THE BIPARTISAN INDIAN BUFFALO MANAGEMENT ACT.THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS IS THE DEFINING CHALLENGE FACING WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE ALIKE. FROM SEVERE FIRES, FLOODS AND STORMS TO DISEASE AND DROUGHT, THE IMPACTS OF THE CHANGING CLIMATE ARE BECOMING MORE APPARENT WITH EACH PASSING DAY. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HAS LED THE WAY IN DEVELOPING COMMONSENSE, COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT CAN SAVE LIVES, PROTECT AND RESTORE CRUCIAL HABITAT, PUT AMERICANS BACK TO WORK AND ENSURE THAT NO COMMUNITY IS LEFT BEHIND. WINNING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR THESE SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN POSSIBLE THROUGH DIVERSE COALITIONS TO DRIVE FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE CHANGE.THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HAS ELEVATED NATURAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONS - HARNESSING THE FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF ECOSYSTEMS SUCH AS GRASSLANDS, FORESTS AND WETLANDS - THAT CAN PUT AMERICANS BACK TO WORK DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND MAKE COMMUNITIES MORE RESILIENT TO FUTURE DISASTERS. THROUGH ITS FEDERAL POLICY PLATFORM, THE FEDERATION HAS CHAMPIONED NATURE-BASED STRATEGIES - SUCH AS ESTABLISHING LIVING SHORELINES, INVESTING IN ECOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE REFORESTATION AND FOREST RESILIENCE AND PLANTING COVER CROPS ON WORKING LANDS THAT ENHANCE THE HEALTH OF SOILS AND ECOSYSTEMS. THESE APPROACHES CAN, IN TURN, CAPTURE CARBON, IMPROVE WILDLIFE HABITAT, REDUCE CLIMATE RISKS TO COMMUNITIES AND CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION ALSO HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER DIVERSE COALITIONS TO CHAMPION SOLUTIONS SUCH AS ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION AND LAND RECLAMATION - INCLUDING ON THE SITES OF ABANDONED MINES TO ACCELERATE A NATIONAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY WHILE MAKING A SIZABLE DOWN PAYMENT ON PROTECTING COMMUNITIES FROM CLIMATE-FUELED EXTREME WEATHER AND MOVING THE UNITED STATES CLOSER TO A NET-ZERO EMISSIONS FUTURE.THE FEDERATION HAS ALSO MADE PROGRESS ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY DEPLOYMENT, INCLUDING CLEAN VEHICLE AND ENERGY PRIORITIES IN BIPARTISAN SENATE TRANSPORTATION LEGISLATION AND HOUSE INFRASTRUCTURE LEGISLATION. IN COLLABORATION WITH CLEAN ENERGY INDUSTRY GROUPS TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCE EXPANDED TAX CREDITS IN THE HOUSE, THE FEDERATION IS ALSO BUILDING SUPPORT WITH LABOR PARTNERS FOR ADDED WORKER STANDARDS. TO MAKE CLEAN ENERGY EXPANSION EQUITABLE, INVESTMENT IN LOWER-WEALTH COMMUNITIES AND AREAS OF COAL INDUSTRY DECLINE IS A PRIORITY.WINDS OF PROGRESS CONTINUE TO BLOW FAVORABLY ON OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY AS STATES RAISE THE BAR FOR RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. ATLANTIC COASTAL STATES ARE WELL POSITIONED TO HELP RESTART AMERICA'S ECONOMY WITH CLEAN, LOCAL ENERGY SOLUTIONS THAT SUPPORT WELL-PAYING JOBS, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES AND ABUNDANT WILDLIFE. IN NEW YORK, HOME OF THE NATION'S LARGEST OFFSHORE WIND POLICY COMMITMENT, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES OF NEW YORK HELPED SECURE STANDARDS FOR OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS THAT INVEST IN WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITIES. IN NEW JERSEY, GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY ESTABLISHED, AT THE URGING OF THE FEDERATION AND NEW JERSEY AUDUBON, AN ENERGY MASTER PLAN THAT FORMALIZES OFFSHORE WIND POWER'S ROLE IN THE STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE 100 PERCENT CLEAN ENERGY BY 2050. AS STATES CONTINUE TO STEP UP, THE FEDERATION AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL ADVOCATE FOR STRINGENT WILDLIFE PROTECTIONS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WHILE SAFEGUARDING COMMUNITIES, CREATING JOBS AND SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH.THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S INTERNATIONAL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PROGRAM HELPED STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND TRACEABILITY AND DEFORESTATION MONITORING SYSTEMS IN COLOMBIA AND BRAZIL TO SAVE TROPICAL FOREST HABITAT. IN BRAZIL, THE FEDERATION SECURED FORMAL AGREEMENTS FROM THE LARGEST MEAT AND LEATHER PROCESSING COMPANIES TO IMPLEMENT VISIPE - CAN INNOVATIVE NEW TRACEABILITY TOOL DEVELOPED BY THE FEDERATION AND PARTNERS - TO HELP COMPANIES AVOID BUYING FROM RANCHERS WHO INTENTIONALLY SET FIRES IN THE AMAZON OR ARE ENGAGED IN ILLEGAL OR UNSUSTAIN- ABLE PRACTICES. AND DRAWING UPON LESSONS LEARNED FROM WORK IN BRAZIL, THE FEDERATION HELPED DESIGN AND LAUNCH INNOVATIVE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT, THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND CIVIL SOCIETY TO ELIMINATE TROPICAL DEFORESTATION AND WILDLIFE HABITAT LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL BEEF AND DAIRY SUPPLY CHAINS.FROM CORNER PARKS TO WILDERNESS, PUBLIC LANDS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE ALIKE. THAT'S WHY THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION WORKS TO KEEP PUBLIC LANDS IN PUBLIC HANDS. EVEN AT A TIME WHEN WASHINGTON SEEMS DEFINED BY PARTISAN DIVIDES, PUBLIC LANDS AND CONSERVATION ISSUES PROVED FERTILE COMMON GROUND FOR HISTORIC PROGRESS. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION AND ITS AFFILIATES WERE ESSENTIAL IN HELPING TO PASS THE HISTORIC AND BIPARTISAN GREAT AMERICAN OUTDOORS ACT, WHICH WILL PROTECT AND RESTORE THE NATION'S PUBLIC LANDS, SUPPORT THE CREATION OF OUTDOOR SPACES AND ENHANCE ESSENTIAL WILDLIFE HABITAT IN EVERY STATE AND TERRITORY. THE GREAT AMERICAN OUTDOORS ACT - THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION INVESTMENT IN DECADES - WILL CREATE JOBS, EXPAND OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCELERATE AMERICA'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY FROM COVID-19. THE ACT WILL PERMANENTLY AND FULLY FUND THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND - WHICH HAS FUNDED PARKS, TRAILS, WATERFRONT ACCESS AND MUCH MORE FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY - AND ADDRESS OVERDUE MAINTENANCE PROJECTS AT NATIONAL PARKS, FORESTS, WILDLIFE REFUGES AND OTHER PUBLIC LANDS.OUR VALUED PARTNER, HECHO (HISPANICS ENJOYING CAMPING, HUNTING AND THE OUTDOORS) PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR HISPANICS AND LATINOS TO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC LANDS AND WATERS AND ELEVATE OUR NATION'S MULTICULTURAL HERITAGE AND CONNECTION TO NATURE. THIS IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP - WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE STORIES, EXPERIENCES AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF HISPANIC AND LATIN AMERICANS - IS ESSENTIAL FOR BUILDING A MORE-INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE CONSERVATION MOVEMENT THAT ENGAGES ALL COMMUNITIES IN PROTECTING THE NATURAL WORLD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

EDUCATION OUTREACHINSPIRING OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO WITNESS THE WONDERS OF WILDLIFE AND THE OUTDOORS IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE CONSERVATION MOVEMENT ENDURES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT CHILDREN WHO SPEND REGULAR, POSITIVE TIME IN NATURE DEVELOP A DEEPER, LIFELONG AFFECTION FOR THE NATURAL WORLD AND MORE EMPATHY FOR WILDLIFE. TO NURTURE THIS CONNECTION TO NATURE BOTH AT HOME AND IN COMMUNITIES, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION WORKS WITH FAMILIES, SCHOOLS AND YOUTH GROUPS TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION EDUCATION IN K-12 CLASSROOMS AND BEYOND AND PROMOTES SAFE OUTDOOR PLAY THROUGH THE EARLY CHILDHOOD HEALTH OUTDOORS (ECHO) PROGRAM.THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S APPROACH TO ORGANIZED EDUCATION ENLISTS THOUSANDS OF SCHOOLS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO PARTICIPATE IN EFFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOSTER HANDS-ON LEARNING ON A RANGE OF TOPICS, INCLUDING ENERGY AND CLIMATE, PLASTICS AND SOLID WASTE, SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND BIODIVERSITY, AND HABITAT. THE LESSONS AND CURRICULA WE USE ALIGN WITH STATE AND NATIONAL ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND ENCOURAGE APPLIED TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LEARNING, SO STUDENTS WORK DIRECTLY ON PROBLEM-SOLVING.THERE ARE MANY WAYS WE HELP CHILDREN BECOME MORE CONNECTED TO NATURE. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S APPROACH ENCOURAGES KIDS TO HAVE POSITIVE, RECURRING EXPERIENCES IN NATURE THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THROUGH ALL ITS PROGRAMMING, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION ENRICHES KIDS WITH INNOVATIVE EDUCATION AND VITAL NATURE EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATIONISTS. WE ARE NOT SATISFIED TO REACH HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE.BY ENGAGING LARGE INSTITUTIONS, CITIES AND UNIVERSITIES, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS LEVERAGING ITS CONSERVATION MUSCLE FAR BEYOND BACKYARDS. MORE THAN 500 CITIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA HAVE SIGNED THE MAYORS' MONARCH PLEDGE TO CREATE NATIVE HABITAT IN PUBLIC PARKS, CITY LANDSCAPING, ROADSIDES AND OPEN SPACES. IN TEXAS ALONE, MORE THAN 100 MAYORS HAVE STEPPED UP, REFLECTING CRITICAL COMMITMENTS IN A KEY REGION FOR MONARCH BUTTERFLY SURVIVAL. IN ADDITION, THROUGHOUT NEARLY 300 CAMPUSES IN 43 STATES, MILLIONS OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE 2020 CAMPUS RACE TO ZERO WASTE (FORMERLY RECYCLEMANIA) COMPETITION, HELPING TO RECYCLE, DONATE AND COMPOST MORE THAN 48.6 MILLION POUNDS OF WASTE.ACROSS OUR NATION, THE HEALTH AND WEALTH OF BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE BEING IMPACTED BY FOSSIL FUEL POLLUTION WHICH IS ALSO DRIVING THE CLIMATE CRISIS. MOST OF THESE POLLUTING FACILITIES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY LOCATED IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, IN LOWER-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND ON INDIGENOUS LANDS. THE 2.4 MILLION MILES OF PIPELINE CRISSCROSSING OUR NATION TRAVEL THROUGH INDIGENOUS AND FARM COUNTRY, ENDING UP ON THE GULF COAST, WHERE VULNERABLE AMERICANS OFTEN HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDENS OF TOXIC EXPOSURES.THE COVID-19 CRISIS HAS ONLY EXACERBATED THE HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES FACING FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. TO ELEVATE AND EMPOWER THE VOICES OF THOSE MOST AT RISK, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HELD A SERIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH 119 FRONTLINE COMMUNITY LEADERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OTHER KEY EXPERTS. THROUGH THESE DISCUSSIONS, THE FEDERATION HEARD FROM ON-THE-GROUND ADVOCATES AND PROVIDED A FORUM FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE SOLUTIONS PEOPLE NEED AND HOW TO GET THERE. THE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS CULMINATED IN A NATIONAL TOWN HALL EVENT IN SEPTEMBER THAT DELVED INTO THE SOLUTIONS BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR NEED NOW MORE THAN EVER.TO SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS HELPING URBAN YOUTH FORGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH NATURE. THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGIONAL CENTER'S DETROIT LEADERSHIP AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM, THE FEDERATION BRIDGES THE DIVIDE BETWEEN URBAN COMMUNITIES AND CONSERVATION VIA OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL CURRICULA TO HELP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CONNECT WITH NATURE, BUILD A MORE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY AND PREPARE FOR FUTURE SUCCESS. BY ENGAGING STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY-BASED SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS - AND CONNECTING YOUTH TO JOB AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES - THE FEDERATION SIMULTANEOUSLY HELPS FOSTER MORE-RESILIENT ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN COMMUNITIES AND SUPPORTS THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS A FEDERATION OF 53 STATE AND TERRITORIAL AFFILIATES AND THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO UNITE AMERICANS TO ENSURE THAT WILDLIFE THRIVES IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION BELIEVES THAT IN ORDER TO SAVE WILDLIFE AND OURSELVES, WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IN AMERICA HAS CLEAN AIR AND WATER, SAFE COMMUNITIES, EASY AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THE DAILY BENEFITS OF NATURE, AND PROTECTION FROM THE RAVAGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THESE BASIC NEEDS, EQUALLY NECESSARY AND URGENT FOR ALL PEOPLE, ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO BRINGING THE CONSERVATION MOVEMENT AND ETHOS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. AT THIS MOMENT, MORE THAN A THIRD OF OUR COUNTRY'S SPECIES ARE AT RISK OF EXTINCTION IN THE COMING DECADES. IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY'S POPULATION HAS DECLINED BY 90 PERCENT. AMERICA'S FREE-RANGING BISON, WHICH ONCE NUMBERED 20 TO 30 MILLION, ARE DOWN TO FEWER THAN 5,000 INDIVIDUALS. IN THE FACE OF THESE CHALLENGES, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION REMAINS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT TO TACKLE WILDLIFE'S GREATEST THREATS, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO INCREASE WILDLIFE POPULATIONS AND ENHANCE THEIR CAPACITY TO THRIVE. AS IN NATURE, WE HAVE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. OUR ABILITY TO HELP WILDLIFE IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED TO THE DIVERSE EFFORTS OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS THAT SUPPORT OUR MISSION. ACROSS THE COUNTRY WE ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS, GOVERNMENTS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD AND NURTURE A COMMON COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION. THROUGH OUR HANDS-ON PROGRAMS, POLICY WORK, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND MORE, WE FORGE A CONSERVATION MOVEMENT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT WORK EACH DAY TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR BOTH PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE - BECAUSE IN SAVING WILDLIFE, WE SAVE OURSELVES. AT THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION, WE'RE FOCUSED ON WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT: SAVING THE ONE-THIRD OF AMERICA'S WILDLIFE SPECIES AT RISK OF EXTINCTION AND IN URGENT NEED OF CONSERVATION, MOBILIZING ACTION TO ENSURE OUR PLANET DOESN'T REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND CONNECTING OUR CHILDREN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS WITH NATURE. WITH THE ADOPTION OF ITS 2018-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN, SAVING AMERICA'S WILDLIFE: TOWARD A COMMON AGENDA, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION COMMITS ITSELF TO REVERSING THE DECLINE OF AMERICA'S WILDLIFE OVER THE NEXT GENERATION. RECOGNIZING THAT HABITAT DEGRADATION AND LOSS, POLLUTION, INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THE PUBLIC'S GROWING DISCONNECTION FROM NATURE ARE ALL TAKING THEIR TOLL, WE LOOKED TO STRATEGIES EQUAL TO THE TASK: ECOSYSTEM-SCALE PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF LANDS, WATERS, AND COASTS; WILDLIFE- AND HABITAT MANAGEMENT APPROPRIATE TO 21ST CENTURY CHALLENGES LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE; FULL ENGAGEMENT OF COMMUNITIES; ROBUST INVESTMENT IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATIONISTS; AND THE BUILDING OF A CONSTITUENCY FOR WILDLIFE THAT IS LARGE, STRONG, AND DIVERSE. OUR COMMON AGENDA INCLUDES A COMMITMENT TO: PROTECT, RESTORE, AND CONNECT WILDLIFE HABITAT: ACTIVE RESTORATION AND RECONNECTION OF FRAGMENTED AND DEGRADED HABITAT ACROSS PROTECTED LANDS, WORKING LANDS, WATERWAYS, COASTS, AND COMMUNITIES. TRANSFORM WILDLIFE CONSERVATION: ADVANCING 21ST CENTURY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, DEFENDING PUBLIC TRUST RESOURCES, AND CONFRONTING EMERGING STRESSORS LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE, INVASIVE SPECIES, AND WILDLIFE DISEASES. CONNECT AMERICANS WITH WILDLIFE: INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATIONISTS AND MOBILIZING A DIVERSE CONSERVATION ARMY TO BROADEN THE STEWARDSHIP ETHIC, CONSERVATION ACTION, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS, AND SUPPORT FOR POLICY CHANGES NECESSARY TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF AT-RISK SPECIES IN OUR TIME.
PART III, LINE 4A CONTINUED: WILDLIFE NEED MOVEMENT CORRIDORS TO ROAM IN SEARCH OF FOOD, WATER, SHELTER AND MATES. FROM RED KNOTS THAT FLY THE LENGTH OF THE GLOBE TWICE A YEAR TO GREATER SAGE-GROUSE AND PRONGHORN, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS THINKING BIG TO GIVE WILDLIFE NEEDED SPACE. WE HAVE BEEN A CRITICAL PARTNER IN PROMOTING CREATION OF THE LARGEST WILDLIFE CROSSING IN THE WORLD - THE LIBERTY CANYON WILDLIFE CROSSING IN CALIFORNIA - WHICH WILL CREATE SAFE PASSAGE FOR WILDLIFE (SUCH AS ISOLATED MOUNTAIN LIONS) NEAR THE 101 FREEWAY. AND ON CAPITOL HILL, THE FEDERATION LED EFFORTS TO INCLUDE $300 MILLION IN AN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PROPOSAL MOVING THROUGH CONGRESS TO IMPROVE WILDLIFE CROSSINGS, REDUCE THE NUMBER OF WILDLIFE-VEHICLE COLLISIONS AND ENHANCE HABITAT CONNECTIVITY. AMERICA'S WILDLIFE ARE IN CRISIS, WITH MORE THAN ONE- THIRD OF ALL WILDLIFE SPECIES IN THE UNITED STATES AT HEIGHTENED RISK OF EXTINCTION AND IN URGENT NEED OF IMMEDIATE CONSERVATION ATTENTION. THIS IS WHY THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HAS BEEN A LEADER IN PROMOTING THE LANDMARK RECOVERING AMERICA'S WILDLIFE ACT, WHICH NOW HAS MORE THAN 180 BIPARTISAN COSPONSORS ON CAPITOL HILL. THE BILL WOULD INVEST IN THE RECOVERY AND RESTORATION OF THOUSANDS OF WILDLIFE SPECIES THROUGH PROACTIVE, COLLABORATIVE, ON-THE-GROUND CONSERVATION EFFORTS LED BY STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES AND TRIBES. IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR SPECIES ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION AND THOSE ESSENTIAL TO THE NATION'S WILDLIFE HERITAGE. IN JULY 2020, THE BILL BROKE NEW GROUND WHEN IT PASSED THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS PART OF THE MOVING FORWARD ACT. WATER IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO SUSTAINING PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS LEADING NATIONAL CONVERSATIONS AROUND CLEAN WATER - FROM THE HEADWATERS TO THE COASTS - THROUGH ITS REGIONAL CENTERS AND COALITIONS. THIS APPROACH HAS HELPED THE FEDERATION BECOME ONE OF THE LEADING VOICES IN THE FIGHT TO ENSURE PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER. TO RESTORE AND PROTECT THE GREAT LAKES, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION LEADS THE HEALING OUR WATERS COALITION, WORKING FOR A SUSTAINABLE GREAT LAKES RESTORATION PLAN AND THE FEDERAL FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT IT. THE GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE HAS RESTORED MORE THAN 167,000 ACRES OF COASTAL, UPLAND, ISLAND AND WETLAND HABITAT. THE FEDERATION'S GREAT LAKES REGIONAL CENTER ALSO FOCUSES ON PROTECTING THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOURCE OF FRESHWATER FROM INVASIVE SPECIES, OIL SPILLS AND FARM-RUNOFF POLLUTION. A DECADE AFTER THE DEVASTATING 2010 OIL SPILL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION PUBLISHED A REPORT - 10 SPECIES, 10 YEARS LATER: A LOOK AT GULF RESTORATION AFTER THE DEEPWATER HORIZON DISASTER HIGHLIGHTING THE LEGACY OF THE CATASTROPHIC SPILL AND REGIONAL WILDLIFE AND ECOSYSTEM RECOVERY. ALTHOUGH SPECIES SUCH AS THE ENDANGERED KEMP'S RIDLEY SEA TURTLE, COASTAL BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS, CORALS AND BRYDE'S WHALES HAVE MADE IMPORTANT PROGRESS, THE FEDERATION IS CONTINUING TO WORK THROUGH ITS SOUTH CENTRAL REGIONAL CENTER AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA COALITION TO LEVERAGE DISASTER-RECOVERY FUNDS TO IMPROVE THE GULF'S HEALTH AND RESILIENCE. THROUGH ITS LEADERSHIP OF THE CHOOSE CLEAN WATER COALITION - MORE THAN 250 ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO RESTORE THE CHESAPEAKE BAY - THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HELPS ELEVATE AND EMPOWER DIVERSE VOICES IN SUPPORT OF THIS ESSENTIAL BODY OF WATER. THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHEDS PROVIDE CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO MORE THAN 30 MILLION PEOPLE AS WELL AS HABITAT FOR HUNDREDS OF WILDLIFE SPECIES. WORKING WITH NATURE TO BOLSTER LIVING SHORELINES BY APPLYING NATURAL COASTAL RESILIENCE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS WETLAND RESTORATION PROVIDES MULTIPLE BENEFITS, INCLUDING HEALTHIER FISH HABITAT, REDUCED FARM-RUNOFF POLLUTION AND SHORELINES PROTECTED FROM INCREASINGLY STRONG STORMS.
