Western Resource Advocates

Healthy Rivers - The vision of our healthy rivers work is that Western rivers are thriving even in the face of climate change and these critical waterways are protected to support ecosystems, local communities, and world-class recreation. Water is conserved and key river reaches are revitalized and managed to support healthy river ecology, sustainable water use, and resilience to a changing climate. WRA develops, advocates for, and implements policies, programs and river management that saves water and protects rivers through improving stream flow, reducing water use, and improved water planning.

Western Lands - The vision of our Western lands work is that at least half of the land in each major ecoregion are legally protected in order to conserve biodiversity in the face of rapid habitat loss and climate change. Public lands need to be shielded from new development, restored, and managed sustainably for ecological health. Layers of protections ensure diverse wildlife habitat, thriving populations of native species, and enduring cultural values of lands and watersheds.
