Acknowledgments

This report would not have been possible without the support and generosity of NRDC’s 400,000 members. We would like to express our appreciation to People of the Earth Foundation for its generous support.

Many colleagues at NRDC made invaluable contributions to the research and writing reflected in this study. The authors would especially like to thank Drew Caputo, Jessica Landman, Chuck Clusen, Sarah Chasis, Dan Lashof, Robbin Marks, Kaid Benfield, Matthew Raimi, Niel Lawrence, and Johanna Wald for their analytical contributions, and Josh Pashman, who worked tirelessly over the summer to uncover and track the many riders. In addition, the authors would like to express our gratitude to Tom Uniack of Defenders of Wildlife.
