Endangered Species Coalition

Protecting keystone species: given the increased risk to species from climate change, it is imperative that we chart a course for increasing protections, preparing for a favorable national political landscape. Two areas are particularly key to species survival and possible to implement in states now. First, we advocate for local and state policies, city and county resolutions, and state bills to build a grassroots movement in support of connectivity for plants and wildlife. Second, we work to provide protections for pollinators through policies and hands on restoration of habitat.

Movement building: the focus of the coalition's work is to address the root causes of wildlife declines by ensuring inclusive participation in democracy. The coalition will provide training to individuals and youth, partner with communities to advocate for equitable access to biodiversity, leverage art's potential to engage audiences and shift cultural values regarding conservation and increase voter turnout from the conservation commuinity.
