CONSERVATION PROGRAMSRECOVERING WILDLIFEAS A LEADING CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS ACTIVE ACROSS A BROAD ARRAY OF ISSUES. THE BREADTH OF OUR WORK REFLECTS THE BREADTH OF THREATS CONFRONTING FISH AND WILDLIFE AND IT HAS NEVER FELT MORE IMPORTANT AS TREASURED AND UNKNOWN SPECIES ALIKE FACE MOUNTING PRESSURES. HABITAT DEGRADATION AND FRAGMENTATION, THE SPREAD OF ZOONOTIC DISEASES AND INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THE IMPACT FROM EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS MEAN MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF ALL SPECIES IN THE U.S. FACE AN INCREASED RISK OF EXTINCTION IN THE COMING DECADES.RECOVERING WILDLIFE IS THE THREAD LINKING EVERYTHING THE FEDERATION DOES. AND WHEN WILDLIFE THRIVE, IT IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE AND HELPS RESTORE THE ENVIRONMENT. THROUGHOUT 2023 WE WORKED TO RECOVER AT-RISK SPECIES AND LANDSCAPES, INCLUDING PROTECTING NATIVE FISH IN THE GREAT LAKES, SUPPORTING THE REINTRODUCTION OF GRAY WOLVES IN COLORADO, AND TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SPACES INTO PRODUCTIVE HABITATS.NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S GARDEN FOR WILDLIFE AND CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAMS CELEBRATED 50 YEARS OF CONVERTING OUTDOOR SPACES INTO HABITAT THAT SUPPORT NATIVE PLANTS AND ANIMALS. IN THOSE FIVE DECADES, THE MOVEMENT HAS WORKED WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERS TO CREATE AN ESTIMATED FOUR MILLION WILDLIFE-FRIENDLY ACRES IN OUTDOOR SPACES AS VARIED AS BACKYARDS, PUBLIC GARDENS, CORPORATE CAMPUSES, UNIVERSITIES, AND PLACES OF WORSHIP. WE HAVE CREATED 300,000 CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT SPACES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND AT 39 EMBASSIES, CONSULATES, MISSIONS, AND AMBASSADOR'S RESIDENCES ACROSS THE WORLD.THE LOS ANGELES HIGHWAY SYSTEM HAS LONG BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR DRIVERS. BUT THE AREA'S FREEWAYS AND INTERSTATES HAVE ALSO CREATED DEADLY BARRIERS AND ISLANDS OF HABITAT THAT CAN GENETICALLY ISOLATE WILDLIFE FROM BOBCATS TO BIRDS TO LIZARDS. CONSTRUCTION CONTINUED THROUGHOUT 2023 ON THE WALLIS ANNENBERG WILDLIFE CROSSING ABOVE THE 101 FREEWAY ALONG A 1,600-FOOT STRETCH OF LAND WHERE PROTECTED AREAS LIE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE FREEWAY. THE WILDLIFE CROSSING WILL SPAN OVER TEN LANES OF FREEWAY AND AN ACCESS ROAD AND WILL RE-ESTABLISH ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY FOR A MULTITUDE OF NATIVE PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS ECOSYSTEM. THIS VISIONARY STRUCTURE WILL PRESERVE BIODIVERSITY, CONNECT AN INTEGRAL WILDLIFE CORRIDOR, AND MOST CRITICALLY, HELP SAVE AN IMPERILED LOCAL POPULATION OF MOUNTAIN LIONS FROM EXTINCTION. WHEN COMPLETE, THE CROSSING WILL BE THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD AND THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CALIFORNIA.INVASIVE CARP ARE A CLEAR DANGER TO THE GREAT LAKES AND OTHER WATERWAYS. THESE FAST-GROWING LARGE FISH CONSUME PLANKTON, ALGAE, AND OTHER BASE-LEVEL FOOD CHAIN ORGANISMS, REMOVING IMPORTANT FOOD SOURCES FOR NATIVE FISH. THIS CROWDING-OUT GREATLY REDUCES AQUATIC BIODIVERSITY BY STARVING OR PUSHING OUT THE NATIVE AND SPORT FISH THAT ARE POPULAR WITH ANGLERS AND THAT SUPPORT LOCAL FRESHWATER ECONOMIES. OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE FEDERATION, WORKING WITH OUR STATE AFFILIATES AND THE GREAT LAKES CONSERVATION COALITION, HELPED TO ADVANCE THE BRANDON ROAD PROJECT CLOSER TO THE FINISH LINE. THIS PROJECT WILL REBUILD THE LOCK AND DAM OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO TO HELP STOP INVASIVE CARP FROM ENTERING THE GREAT LAKES. WHILE INVASIVE CARP CONTINUE TO SWIM CLOSER TO THE GREAT LAKES, OUR EFFORTS ARE HELPING TO PROTECT WILDLIFE, LOCAL ECONOMIES, AND QUALITY OF LIFE.ONE SHEEP IS NOT LIKE ANOTHER. SADLY, DOMESTICALLY RAISED SHEEP TRANSMIT PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE DISEASES THAT CAN, AND OFTEN DO, DECIMATE ENTIRE HERDS OF WILD BIGHORN SHEEP. THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO PROVIDE SEPARATION BETWEEN DOMESTIC SHEEP AND BIGHORNS. THE FEDERATION'S WILDLIFE CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROGRAM DID JUST THAT WHEN, IN FURTHERANCE OF NWF'S MISSION, IT NEGOTIATED COMMITMENTS WITH A RANCHING FAMILY TO CANCEL ITS GRAZING PERMITS ON TEN LARGE HIGH-ELEVATION GRAZING ALLOTMENTS IN THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAIN RANGE OF SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO. THIS AREA WILL BE FREE OF DOMESTIC SHEEP, REDUCING THE RISK OF DISEASE AND ALLOWING THE BIGHORN POPULATION TO INCREASE. THE CHANGE WILL ALSO ALLOW NEARLY 100,000 ACRES OF INCREDIBLY FRAGILE ALPINE TUNDRA HABITAT TO RECOVER FROM THE EFFECTS OF 140 YEARS OF DOMESTIC SHEEP GRAZING.THE COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION HAS FINALIZED PLANS TO REINTRODUCE GRAY WOLVES INTO THE STATE. THE PROJECT HAS MET WITH RESISTANCE FROM RANCHERS WHO FEAR WOLF ATTACKS ON THEIR LIVESTOCK. THE FEDERATION PARTNERED WITH THE ORGANIZATION WORKING CIRCLE TO REDUCE POSSIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN NEWLY-ARRIVED WOLVES AND LIVESTOCK IN NORTH PARK, COLORADO. WE ARE CONTINUING THIS WORK WITH OTHER RANCHERS AND LANDOWNERS ACROSS THE STATE TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP BOTH WOLVES AND RURAL COMMUNITIES COEXIST AND THRIVE.EMBRACING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICEACCOMPLISHING THE FEDERATION'S CORE MISSION TO PROTECT WILDLIFE, PEOPLE, AND THE PLANET REQUIRES THAT WE ADDRESS THE PERSISTENT AND PERNICIOUS INEQUITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICES IN COMMUNITIES. THIS PERTAINS TO HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY EXCLUDED FROM DECISION-MAKING AND HAVE SHOULDERED THE BURDEN OF POLLUTION AND OTHER ECOLOGICAL CRISES. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, HEALTH AND COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PROGRAM, CLIMATE AND ENERGY PROGRAM, AND THE CHOOSE CLEAN WATER COALITION JOINED PARTNERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AND WITH COMMUNITY AND UNIVERSITY HUBS TO DEVELOP A PROPOSAL FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S THRIVING COMMUNITIES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANT. THIS GRANT WAS AWARDED IN JULY 2023 TO CREATE A MID-ATLANTIC THRIVING COMMUNITIES HUB TO BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE THRIVING COMMUNITIES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER FOR EPA REGION 3, SERVING THE STATES OF DELAWARE, MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA AS WELL AS THE D.C. AREA. THE PROGRAM IS PART OF THE FEDERAL AGENCIES' THRIVING COMMUNITIES NETWORK AND EPA'S THRIVING COMMUNITIES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS PROGRAM THAT IS WORKING TOWARD A GOVERNMENT-WIDE FRAMEWORK FOR PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CAPACITY BUILDING RESOURCES FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THE FEDERATION IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY. WE ADVOCATED FOR STRONGER REGULATIONS THAT WILL BUILD EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS INTO REGULATORY REVIEWS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES. THANKS TO THOSE EFFORTS, THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ISSUED RULE PROPOSALS SO THAT THE PRIORITIES OF COMMUNITIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WILL NOW BE CONSIDERED IN ENERGY-RELATED PROGRAMS, INCLUDING INFRASTRUCTURE PERMITTING PROCESSES.WE LAUNCHED THE TRIBAL AND INDIGENOUS PARTNERSHIPS ENHANCEMENT STRATEGY AS A FEDERATION-WIDE EFFORT TO INCREASE OUR SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT TO ELEVATING TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PRIORITIES. OUR TRIBAL AND INDIGENOUS PARTNERSHIPS ENHANCEMENT STRATEGY FOCUSES ON THREE CORE PRIORITIES: WATER PROTECTION, FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, AND INTERGENERATIONAL KNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION. THIS INITIATIVE WILL PROMOTE DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR TRIBAL AND INDIGENOUS PARTNERS IN A WAY THAT CENTERS RESPECT AND PRIORITIZES ALLYSHIP TO FIGHT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND CONSERVATION ON TRIBAL LANDS AND BEYOND.LONGLEAF PINE ECOSYSTEMS HISTORICALLY DOMINATED SOUTHEASTERN FORESTS, BUT HARVESTING, LAND CONVERSION, AND FIRE SUPPRESSION RESULTED IN LONGLEAF PINE ACREAGE TOTALING LESS THAN 5% OF ITS ORIGINAL AREA. THE LOSS OF THESE PINES WAS A DRAMATIC CHANGE TO THE REGION, AS THE FORESTS MAKE UP SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, BIODIVERSE HABITATS FOR PLANTS AND WILDLIFE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE FEDERATION'S SOUTHEAST FORESTRY PROGRAM, ALONG WITH OUR SOUTHEASTERN AFFILIATES, HAVE SPENT OVER A DECADE WORKING TO RESTORE THIS INCREDIBLY BIODIVERSE LANDSCAPE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. TWO YEARS AGO, FEDERATION-LED EFFORTS ESTABLISHED A COALITION WORKING TO SUPPORT BLACK LANDOWNERS, PROFESSIONALS, AND STUDENTS. IN JANUARY 2023, THE FEDERATION ALONG WITH CORE ALLIES, CELEBRATED ITS FIRST GRADUATING CLASS AT AN EVENT CALLED "LONGLEAF & THE LANDOWNER." THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO INSTRUCT HISTORICALLY AND SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED LANDOWNERS AND LAND MANAGERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN RESTORING LONGLEAF PINES, BALANCING ECONOMICS AND ECOLOGICAL MODELS ON THEIR PROPERTIES, AND CREATING LEGACIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. OUR INAUGURAL CLASS INCLUDED 24 BLACK LANDOWNERS, AND THE FEDERATION HOSTED A FOLLOW UP EVENT IN NOVEMBER FOR ESTATE PLANNING AND HEIRS' PROPERTY.

EDUCATION OUTREACH & PUBLICATIONSINSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONSAT THE HEART OF THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S WORK IS A DESIRE TO LEAVE A LEGACY TO FUTURE GENERATIONS OF THRIVING WILDLIFE, PROTECTED NATURAL RESOURCES, AND OPEN ACCESS TO CHERISHED LANDSCAPES. COMMUNITY-DRIVEN CONSERVATION IS PROVEN TO PRODUCE TREMENDOUS RESULTS FOR PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE. LOCALLY DRIVEN COMMUNITY HABITAT TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE UNITED AROUND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND CELEBRATE LOCAL LEADERS THAT ARE DOING THE SMALL THINGS THAT LEAVE A BIG IMPACT. THIS INCLUDES LOCAL STREAM CLEANUPS, TREE PLANTINGS, INVASIVE SPECIES REMOVAL, NATIVE PLANT SALES, FAMILY FRIENDLY NATURE EVENTS, AND OTHER RESTORATION EVENTS THAT BENEFIT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.THE MAYORS' MONARCH PLEDGE PROGRAM MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE NETWORK OF MAYORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ADVOCATING FOR EQUITABLE MONARCH AND POLLINATOR CONSERVATION INITIATIVES. SINCE 2015, THE PROGRAM HAS RECEIVED OVER 1,500 PLEDGES, REACHING 9 MILLION PEOPLE, AND CREATING OR ENHANCING OVER 9,000 ACRES OF HABITAT. LEADERS AND RESIDENTS TAKE ACTION TO CREATE QUALITY HABITATS AT HOME AND ACROSS PUBLIC SPACES, WHILE ADVANCING POLICY CHANGES AND CAMPAIGNS THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE, WILDLIFE-FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES.THE FEDERATION BELIEVES IT IS EVERYONE'S DUTY TO BE A CARETAKER OF THE EARTH AND TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THOSE YET TO COME. THAT IS WHY WE WORK TO INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS AND TO REACH OUT TO INCLUDE THOSE USUALLY OVERLOOKED BY ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS. NWF DELIVERS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION THROUGH OUR K-12 ECOSCHOOLS PROGRAM. SINCE 2009, NWF HAS BEEN THE EXCLUSIVE HOST OF THE ECOSCHOOLS PROGRAM IN THE U.S. AND HAS ENGAGED JUST OVER 6,000 SCHOOLS AND HAS CERTIFIED CLOSE TO 17,000 SCHOOLS THROUGH ECOSCHOOLS AND SCHOOLYARD HABITATS PROGRAMS.NWF'S TWO CLIMATE-CHANGE EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTSRESILIENT SCHOOLS CONSORTIUM (RISC) AND STUDENT CLIMATE RESILIENCE AMBASSADORS PROVIDE MORE THAN 50 HOURS OF FREE LESSONS, ACTIVITIES, AND FIELD TRIPS. IN NEW YORK CITY, RISC HAS EDUCATED THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT CLIMATE JUSTICE AND RESILIENCE SOLUTIONS. STUDENTS LEARNED HOW TO CREATE NATURAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS RAIN GARDENS TO HELP PROTECT THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITY FROM SEVERE FLOODS AND POLLUTED WATER.NWF'S EARTH TOMORROW PROGRAM CULTIVATES A NEW GENERATION OF LIFETIME STEWARDS THROUGH A YEAR-LONG CYCLE OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING, ISSUES EXPLORATION, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, AND STUDENT-LED COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECTS FOR TEENS. ONCE THESE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GRADUATE, ALMOST ALL OF THEM GO ON TO COLLEGE. WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EMERGING LEADERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH PEER MENTOR POSITIONS WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE EARTH TOMORROW SUMMER INSTITUTE.EARTH TOMORROW PROGRAM RETURNS TO HOUSTON - RELAUNCHED IN 2023, OUR HOUSTON EARTH TOMORROW PROGRAM HAD 25 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS VISIT SITES OVER SIX DAYS TO JOIN IN SERVICE PROJECTS, PROGRAM PLANNING, AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. THEY GAINED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOUSTON'S GULF COAST ECOLOGY, HISTORIC BLACK COMMUNITIES, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND MORE. FLOOD-PRONE NEIGHBORHOODS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, USUALLY ARE HOME TO HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. OUR STUDENT CLIMATE RESILIENCE AMBASSADORS PROGRAM HELPED TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY IN MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, COMBAT THE CAUSES OF FLOODING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND LEARN HOW TO PROMOTE HEALTHY WATERSHEDS. IN THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR, STUDENTS FROM EIGHT HOUSTON MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDENT CLIMATE RESILIENCE AMBASSADORS PROGRAM. THEY LEARNED HOW TO ASSESS THE VULNERABILITY OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND SCHOOL CAMPUSES. THEY THEN USED THIS INFORMATION TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND MAINTAIN PROGRAMS TO MITIGATE FLOODING, SUCH AS CREATING POCKET PRAIRIES AND RAIN GARDENS AT THEIR SCHOOLS. A RELATED FIELD EXPERIENCE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GALVESTON BAY FOUNDATION, HELPED STUDENTS CONNECT THE DOTS BETWEEN THE ACTIONS THEY TOOK TO IMPROVE THEIR LOCAL WATERSHED AND THE HEALTH OF THE LARGER GALVESTON BAY ECOSYSTEM.EVERY YOUNG CHILD DESERVES A HEALTHY AND SAFE OUTDOOR SPACE TO PLAY, LEARN, AND CONNECT WITH NATURE. IN THE PAST YEAR, THE EARLY CHILDHOOD HEALTH OUTDOORS INITIATIVE RECEIVED ONE OF THE LARGEST COVID-RELIEF GRANTS IN COLORADO DESIGNATED TO SUPPORT EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION AND USED THE FUNDS TO ENHANCE OUTDOOR SPACES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE INITIATIVE REACHED OUT ACROSS THE STATE TO A RANGE OF CHILDCARE PROGRAMS, FROM HOME-BASED EDUCATORS TO CHILDCARE CENTERS, TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PASS-THROUGH FUNDING TO 78 CHILDCARE PROGRAMS AND EDUCATORS. THE EARLY CHILDHOOD HEALTH OUTDOORS PROGRAM'S WORK IS EXPANDING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HELPING COMMUNITIES IN MICHIGAN, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, SOUTH CAROLINA AND WASHINGTON, D.C., WITH OUTDOOR PLAY AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.2023 CAMPUS RACE TO ZERO WASTE RESULTS - OUR CAMPUS RACE TO ZERO WASTE PROGRAM ADDRESSES ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES OF MANAGING AND DISPOSING SOLID WASTE MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY PLASTICS.

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: FORGING AUTHENTIC PARTNERSHIPS THE FEDERATION COULD NOT SUCCEED WITHOUT STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER COMMITTED ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, AND COMMUNITIES. THESE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BUILT ON THE COMMON GOAL OF CONSERVATION, WITH AN EYE TOWARD PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AUTHENTIC AND STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS TO MAKE CHANGES WHERE THEY LIVE IN THE COLLABORATIVE PURSUIT OF PROTECTING WILDLIFE, PEOPLE, AND THE PLANET. FOR GENERATIONS, BUFFALO WERE DRIVEN TO NEAR EXTINCTION AS A WAY TO SUBJUGATE TRIBES. THE FEDERATION'S ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NORTHERN ARAPAHO AND EASTERN SHOSHONE TRIBES WORKS TO RESTORE BUFFALO AS WILDLIFE AND RECONNECT PEOPLE WITH THEIR CULTURAL AND ECOLOGICAL TIES. IN 2023, WE SUCCEEDED IN GETTING OVER 17,000 ACRES OF CATTLE GRAZING LEASES SHIFTED TO FREE-RANGING BUFFALO HABITAT. BY WORKING WITH TRIBES AND INDIGENOUS PARTNERS, WE ARE HELPING TO RESTORE CULTURAL BONDS TO BUFFALO AND ADVOCATE FOR INCREASED CAPACITY AND RESOURCES FOR TRIBAL BUFFALO MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION. PARTNERSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENTS AND RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO CREATE VIBRANT HABITATS THAT HELP ENDANGERED SPECIES FIND SAFE-HAVENS, ESPECIALLY ALONG MIGRATION PATHS. THE MAYORS' MONARCH PLEDGE WORKS WITH HEADS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO EDUCATE RESIDENTS AND CREATE NATIVE HABITATS FOR THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY AND OTHER POLLINATORS. LAST YEAR, 365 HEADS OF GOVERNMENT SIGNED THE PLEDGE, INCLUDING MAYORS FROM SIX OUT OF THE TEN LARGEST U.S. CITIES. ON THE LOCAL LEVEL, OUR COMMUNITY WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH CITIES, COUNTIES, AND NEIGHBORHOODS TO RESTORE WILDLIFE HABITATS IN URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREAS. IN 2023, 18 COMMUNITIES JOINED THE PROGRAM AND SIX COMMUNITIES REACHED FULL CERTIFICATION; DURING THE YEAR, A TOTAL OF 327 COMMUNITIES PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. THE TREES FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO DISTRIBUTE AND PLANT NATIVE TREE SEEDLINGS THAT FORTIFY URBAN AND RURAL ECOSYSTEMS AND BENEFIT HUMANS AND WILDLIFE. ONE EXAMPLE OF OUR MANY PARTNERSHIPS WAS OUR WORK WITH THE TEXAS CONSERVATION ALLIANCE WHO CONVENED LOCAL PARTNERS TO PLANT AND GIVEAWAY NATIVE TREES IN THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY OF TEXAS. THE FEDERATION'S CONSERVATION CHAMPIONS PROGRAM PROVIDES SMALL FARMERS WITH THE TRAINING AND FUNDING TO HOST OUTREACH ACTIVITIES THAT ALLOW THEM TO SHARE WITH OTHERS HOW THEY FOLLOW SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, A CRITICAL WAY TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND IMPROVE SOIL FERTILITY. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM OUR TEAM STRENGTHENED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE'S NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE, AND FORGED NEW ONES WITH THE USDA AND LOCAL AND STATE CONSERVATION ALLIES THAT SUPPORT THE ADOPTION OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PRACTICES. OUR WORK IN THE SOUTHEAST FOCUSED ON ENGAGING WITH AND SUPPORTING BLACK FARMERS WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN OVERLOOKED BY SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS. ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, VOLUNTEERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE CLEAN EARTH CHALLENGE, A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FEDERATION AND JOHNSON OUTDOORS, A GLOBAL INNOVATOR OF OUTDOOR RECREATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY. THE CHALLENGE IS SIMPLE: PICK UP TRASH OR DEBRIS WHILE ON A WALK OR AT A FAVORITE BEACH OR LOCAL PARK. THE ORIGINAL GOAL WAS TO COLLECT ONE MILLION PIECES OF TRASH. BUT THANKS TO OUR DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS, THE CHALLENGE EXCEEDED THE THREE MILLION MARK AND COUNTING. FROM SMALL TOWNS TO BIG CITIES, COLLECTIVE CONSERVATION ACTION LEADS TO BIG RESULTS. CONSERVING LAND & WATER PROTECTING AND CONSERVING LAND AND WATER IS AT THE HEART OF THE FEDERATION'S MISSION. ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AMERICANS FLOCK TO MAJESTIC WILD SPACES AND SERENE COASTS AND RIVERS TO CONNECT, RECREATE, AND REJUVENATE. THESE PLACES DEFINE "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL AND ARE ESSENTIAL, NOT JUST TO PEOPLE, BUT ALSO TO WILDLIFE. HEALTHY HABITATS AND SECURE CORRIDORS ALLOW SPECIES OF ALL TYPES TO THRIVE. THE FEDERATION'S WORK IN THIS SPACE IS DIVERSE AND CRITICAL AS OUR PLANET FACES PRESSURES FROM A CHANGING CLIMATE, URBAN SPRAWL, AND POLLUTION. OUR WORK ENSURES THAT EVERY AMERICAN ENJOYS SAFE ACCESS TO AN ARRAY OF UNDEVELOPED, TRANQUIL SPACES AND THAT EMBRACING HABITAT CONNECTIVITY ALLOWS PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE TO FLOURISH TOGETHER. WE EMPLOY INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ALONG OUR COASTS AND RIVERS TO CONSERVE SPACES THAT MANY PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE CALL HOME. OUR WORK TO PROTECT THE PLANET MADE GREAT STRIDES IN 2023. SUCCESSES INCLUDED PROTECTING PUBLIC LAND AROUND THE GRAND CANYON, RESTORING AND SAFEGUARDING WATERSHEDS AND SHORELINES IN LOUISIANA AND CHESAPEAKE BAY, AND IMPROVING WATER SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE IN TEXAS. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA IN COASTAL LOUISIANA IS LOSING LAND AT ONE OF THE MOST RAPID RATES IN THE WORLD. AFTER 40 YEARS OF PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND ADVOCACY BY THE FEDERATION AND ITS PARTNERS, THE MID-BARATARIA SEDIMENT DIVERSION BROKE GROUND IN AUGUST 2023. THE FEDERATION'S EFFORTS INCLUDED DECADE-LONG OUTREACH TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO HELP RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND AND ENGAGE WITH THE PROJECT. MID-BARATARIA IS THE SINGLE LARGEST ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION EFFORT IN U.S. HISTORY AND ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING PROJECTS IN THE WORLD. THE PROJECT WILL RECONNECT THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WITH ITS NEARBY WETLANDS, MIMICKING NATURAL PROCESSES THAT ONCE BUILT THIS LANDSCAPE. HISPANICS ENJOYING CAMPING, HUNTING, AND THE OUTDOORS (HECHO), HAS LONG WORKED TO PROTECT THE GRAND CANYON WATERSHED FROM THE EFFECTS OF NEARBY URANIUM MINING. THE ADVOCACY PAID OFF IN 2023 WHEN NEARLY ONE MILLION ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND NEAR THE NATIONAL PARK WAS DESIGNATED THE BAAJ NWAAVJO I'TAH KUKVENI ANCESTRAL FOOTPRINTS OF THE GRAND CANYON NATIONAL MONUMENT. THIS DESIGNATION WILL PERMANENTLY SAFEGUARD THE AREA FROM NEW URANIUM MINING CLAIMS WHILE HONORING THE ANCESTRAL HOMELANDS OF TRIBES, PROTECTING CULTURAL SITES AND VITAL WATER SUPPLIES FOR PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE, AND ENSURING THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN ENJOY ALL THE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES THIS UNIQUE LANDSCAPE OFFERS. ACCORDING TO THE FEDERATION'S 2022 STUDY, "HIDDEN RESERVOIRS: ADDRESSING WATER LOSS IN TEXAS," TEXAS WATER SYSTEMS ARE LOSING AT LEAST 572,000 ACRE-FEET OF WATER PER YEAR MORE THAN THE 2020 ANNUAL WATER DEMAND OF AUSTIN, FORT WORTH, EL PASO, LAREDO, AND LUBBOCK COMBINED. IN 2023, THE FEDERATION'S TEXAS COAST AND WATER PROGRAM WORKED TO CREATE BROAD PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM THROUGH MEDIA COVERAGE AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH TO PUBLIC OFFICIALS. THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE PASSED AN HISTORIC FUNDING MEASURE IN 2023, CREATING THE TEXAS WATER FUND AND ALLOCATING $1 BILLION TOWARD WATER SUPPLY AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THANKS TO THE FEDERATION'S EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS, A PORTION OF THIS MONEY IS REQUIRED TO BE SPENT ON WATER-LOSS MITIGATION. ADDRESSING WATER LOSS IN TEXAS COMMUNITIES WILL NOT ONLY REDUCE WATER COSTS AND OVERALL WATER SUPPLY RESILIENCE, BUT IT ALSO ENSURES WATER WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT TO MEET THE NEEDS FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITATS IN TEXAS. PROMOTING AND EXPANDING PUBLIC ACCESS TO COASTAL LANDS IS CRUCIAL TO CREATE AWARENESS AND PUBLIC SUPPORT TO SAFEGUARD THESE AREAS AND KEEP THE WATER CLEAN. OUR PARTNER, CHOOSE CLEAN WATER COALITION, WORKED CLOSELY WITH CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND OTHER PARTNERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO CREATE A CHESAPEAKE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA. LEGISLATION TO AUTHORIZE THE RECREATION AREA WAS PROPOSED IN JULY 2023 AND WOULD DESIGNATE A COLLECTION OF NEW AND EXISTING PARKS AND PROTECTED LANDS THROUGHOUT THE CHESAPEAKE BAY REGION AS PART OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM. THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION FOCUSES ON EXPANDING ACCESS TO WATER IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND COMMEMORATES THE RICH CULTURE AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A ADDRESSING THE CLIMATE CRISIS UNNATURAL DISASTERS FROM THE MAUI FIRES, TO FLOODING IN CALIFORNIA, TO THE WILDFIRE SMOKE THAT BLANKETED MUCH OF THE NATION, AND THE HEAT WAVE IN EUROPE CONFIRM THAT THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS HERE AND IS A REAL AND EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE ALIKE. BECAUSE THIS IS A GLOBAL CHALLENGE, MEANINGFUL SOLUTIONS REQUIRE MANY ORGANIZATIONS AND LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO BE AT THE TABLE TO AGREE ON NEXT STEPS. IN 2023, THE FEDERATION WORKED WITH VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS AS WELL AS STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO FIND SOLUTIONS, FROM ADVOCATING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE TO PROMOTING WIND AND SOLAR POWER. EFFORTS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE MUST ENSURE ALL COMMUNITIES ARE CONSIDERED, INCLUDING HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED NEIGHBORHOODS. THE FEDERATION HAS WORKED TO CHANGE THE RULES IN THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT SO THAT MAJOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECISIONS CONSIDER THE IMPACT ON ALL WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITIES. A 2022 RULE THAT ADDRESSED MAJOR ROLLBACKS FROM THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, AS WELL AS A SECOND, RELATED PROPOSED RULE, WOULD MAKE SURE THAT IMPACTS ON EVERY EFFECTED COMMUNITY ARE CONSIDERED BEFORE FEDERAL DECISIONS ARE MADE AND THAT ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CONCERNS ARE FRONT AND CENTER IN MAJOR FEDERAL ACTIONS AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. HISTORICALLY, FEDERAL DECISION-MAKING OFTEN IGNORED THE INHERENT VALUE OF NATURE AND THE BENEFITS NATURE PROVIDES TO OUR COMMUNITIES. THE FEDERATION WORKED TO CHANGE THAT BY ADVOCATING FOR REVISIONS IN FEDERAL POLICIES AND PROCESSES THAT GUIDE DECISION-MAKING AROUND FEDERAL RULES AND SPENDING ON PROJECTS, LIKE DISASTER MITIGATION PROJECTS FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY. THANKS TO THESE EFFORTS, THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET PROPOSED REVISIONS TO TWO KEY POLICIES THAT INFORM FEDERAL REGULATORY ANALYSIS, BENEFIT-COST CALCULATIONS, AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS USED IN FEDERAL DECISION-MAKING. THE CHANGES MADE WILL INCREASE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS AND WILL RESULT IN MORE EQUITABLE OUTCOMES FOR LOW-INCOME AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET RELEASED GUIDANCE THAT WILL PROVIDE STANDARDIZED PROCEDURES FOR AGENCIES TO MORE ACCURATELY ACCOUNT FOR HOW THEIR ACTIONS MAY AFFECT ECOSYSTEM SERVICES THAT IMPACT HUMAN WELFARE. THESE LONG-AWAITED UPDATES WILL MORE EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS AND LONG-TERM COMMUNITY CLIMATE RESILIENCE. OFFSHORE WIND POWER IS FINALLY GAINING MOMENTUM AS A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY IN THE UNITED STATES. BOTH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND STATE GOVERNMENTS SET AMBITIOUS OFFSHORE WIND GOALS IN 2023. THE NATION'S FIRST TWO LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS, ONE FOR MASSACHUSETTS AND ONE FOR NEW YORK, BROKE GROUND WITH STRINGENT WILDLIFE PROTECTIONS IN PLACE. IN MARYLAND AND MAINE, THE LEGISLATURES PASSED LAWS THAT COMMITTED EACH STATE TO OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT THAT REDUCES AND MITIGATES HARM TO WILDLIFE AND DIRECTS BENEFITS TO COMMUNITIES. IN BOTH CASES, THE FEDERATION AND OUR AFFILIATES LAID THE IMPORTANT GROUNDWORK THROUGH THEIR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS TO ENSURE AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF ISSUE AND POLICY DETAILS THAT WILL SHAPE THIS EMERGING INDUSTRY. THE PURSUIT OF MORE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOURCES MUST BE DONE IN A WAY THAT MITIGATES POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON NEARBY COMMUNITIES AND WILDLIFE. THE FEDERATION'S CLIMATE AND ENERGY AND PUBLIC LANDS TEAMS PREPARED A REPORT DETAILING HOW WIND AND SOLAR DEVELOPMENT CAN OCCUR ON PUBLIC LANDS AND WATERS IN A MANNER THAT IS RESPONSIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE VALUES AND CURRENT USES OF OUR PUBLIC LANDS. THE REPORT EXAMINED THE POSSIBLE HARM THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT MIGHT HAVE ON NEARBY COMMUNITIES AND PROPOSED WAYS TO AVOID AND MINIMIZE SUCH IMPACTS. IMPACTING COMMUNITIES COAST TO COAST DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED RESTORATION INVESTMENT -THE FEDERATION JOINED MORE THAN FIFTY ADVOCATES IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TO URGE LAWMAKERS TO PASS THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN CONSERVATION ACT REAUTHORIZATION LEGISLATION. IF SECURED, THE BILL WOULD CONTINUE RESTORATION INVESTMENTS IN THE DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED REGION THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030. TRIBES AND FRONTLINE COMMUNITY WATER RESOURCE PLANNING - WE CO-SPONSORED A NEW ART MURAL TO CELEBRATE OUR COLLABORATIVE HABITAT CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION IN MCALLEN & OTHER CITIES IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. THE RESTORED HABITATS ARE A SAFE HAVEN FOR MONARCHS AND MANY OTHER MIGRATORY SPECIES SINCE. HOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY FOREST PROJECT - THE FEDERATION JOINED PARTNER NONPROFITS, GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, AND BUSINESSES TO WORK ON A COMMUNITY FOREST THAT PROTECTS WILDLIFE, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND PROVIDES ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA CITIZENS. THE PROJECT WILL RESTORE A 532-ACRE FOREST IN THIS HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COUNTY. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CONTAMINATED SITE CLEANUP - AFTER A DECADE OF ADVOCACY, THE FEDERATION AND ITS PARTNERS, NEED OUR WATER, AND THE GREAT LAKES PFAS ACTION NETWORK, WON A HUGE VICTORY WHEN THE AIR FORCE FINALLY COMMITTED TO CLEAN UP TWO PFAS-CONTAMINATED SITES AROUND THE FORMER WURTSMITH AIR FORCE BASE NEAR OSCODA, MICHIGAN. WATER EQUALS LIFE, SAFE DRINKING WATER POLICIES - PEOPLE MOST IMPACTED BY HIGH WATER BILLS AND SHUTOFFS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY PEOPLE OF COLOR AND THE UNDERSERVED. WORKING WITH PARTNERS, THE FEDERATION FORMED THE WEL (WATER EQUALS LIFE) COALITION IN 2023. WEL ADVOCATES FOR POLICIES THAT ENSURE MICHIGANIANS CAN ACCESS CLEAN, SAFE DRINKING WATER. OHIO RIVER BASIN CLEAN WATER COMMUNITY FORUMS -THE FEDERATION HOSTED 31 LISTENING SESSIONS IN THE OHIO RIVER BASIN TO HEAR FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THEIR CLEAN WATER CONCERNS, FROM TOXIC POLLUTION TO SEWAGE CONTAMINATION. THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES ANCHOR A REGIONAL PLAN TO RESTORE AND PROTECT THE WATERS OF THE 14-STATE BASIN. PROTECTING NORTH AMERICAN THREATENED GRASSLANDS - A THREE-DAY CONFERENCE IN CHEYENNE, WYOMING HAD 270 ATTENDEES FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA TO DISCUSS AND STRATEGIZE WAYS TO PROTECT OUR THREATENED GRASSLANDS. NWF'S SIXTH BIENNIAL AMERICA'S GRASSLANDS CONFERENCE PROVIDED A FORUM WHERE ALL VOICES IN THE GRASSLAND CONSERVATION SPACE WERE HEARD AND VALUED. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ACCESS FOR WOMEN & PEOPLE OF COLOR BUSINESSES - THE FIVE POINTS GREENING PROJECT INCREASES ACCESS TO GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE SO ALL CAN ENJOY CLIMATE RESILIENCE, HEALTH, AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF NEARBY NATURE. THE PROJECT PRIORITY ARE BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS LED BY WOMEN OR PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO CONDUCT THIS WORK. DELAYED TRANSFER OF OAK FLAT SACRED LAND TO MINING INTEREST - OAK FLAT IS SACRED LAND IN THE TONTO NATIONAL FOREST WITH VITAL WATER RESOURCES. AFTER HECHO SPENT MONTHS OF ADVOCACY WORK, THE FOREST SERVICE PAUSED PUBLICATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. THIS DELAYED TRANSFER OF OAK FLAT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RESOLUTION COPPER TO DEVELOP A MINING PROJECT. INCREASING TRIBAL ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER - NEARLY 50 PERCENT OF NATIVE POPULATIONS LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER. THE FEDERATION COLLABORATED WITH A COALITION WORKING TO INCREASE TRIBAL ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER. WE HELPED TO SECURE $4.5 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING TO MEET THE BACKLOG OF TRIBAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND WATER MANAGEMENT NEEDS.
