Nature In Need

This is a code red moment for conservation. The USGS Ecosystem Mission Area (EMA) is the backbone of our nation's ecological research. The Trump administration is trying to eliminate the EMA. The consequences will be devastating for ecological science and conservation. We need to stop this.  

The Trump administration has taken steps to dismantle NOAA Research.  These programs enable our nation to monitor and respond to climate change, extreme weather events, and oceanic health. 

This is another important restoration project stopped in its tracks due to Trump's funding freezes. The project was intended to improve river and stream health throughout the Connecticut River Watershed.

A defining environmental line in the sand for over 40 years, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is on the cusp of happening. Several environmental and Alaska Native groups have sued to stop oil and gas exploration in ANWR. Give them all the support you can.

The Trump administration weakened the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) by redefining the law. In doing so, they removed protections for birds from avoidable deaths caused by industrial activity. 

The Trump Administration illegally dismantled USAID and cancelled congressionally approved funding for international conservation. These cuts are potentially catastrophic for global biodiversity.
