National Wildlife Federation

National Wildlife Federation is a voice for wildlife, dedicated to protecting wildlife and habitat and inspiring the future generation of conservationists.

America’s experience with cherished landscapes and wildlife has helped define and shape our national character and identity for generations. Protecting these natural resources is a cause that has long united Americans from all walks of life and political stripes. To hunters, anglers, hikers, birders, wildlife watchers, boaters, climbers, campers, cyclists, gardeners, farmers, forest stewards and other outdoor enthusiasts, this conservation ethic has evolved and is now integral to our heritage and fundamental to the very pursuit of happiness enshrined at the founding of this great country. It is this heritage that we will defend and pass on to our children. And for all Americans, whether they venture into nature or not, whether they live in the middle of our most densely populated cities or in small towns or rural communities or somewhere in between, we all depend on clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. Our ties to the land provide spiritual sustenance and a path to virtue; they suggest a perfection in nature that exceeds anything humans can create. As Americans we share a sacred duty and obligation to protect and build upon our conservation heritage for the sake of native wildlife, ourselves, our neighbors, and most of all for future generations.

The National Wildlife Federation is a national organization with offices throughout the United States. We work on national and local campaigns that protect and restore the amazing diversity of wildlife, habitats and natural resources that are invaluable to our region's culture, economy, and quality of life.

Here in the Pacific Regional Center we focus on issues in Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii and Alaska. We live in such a beautiful and inspirational place that it is easy to work to protect the diversity and beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Our work focuses on: climate change/global warming, floodplains, western water issues, green schools, certified wildlife habitats and a lot more!
