Partnership for the Earth Campaign
Save Wildlife and Wild Places
- "At a time when Congress would take the names of Americans off the deeds to their own public lands, it is reassuring that NRDC is on guard with its excellent attorneys, policy analysts, and scientists. Now, more than ever, NRDC is indispensable."
- — Jim Baca, Former Director, U.S. Bureau of Land Management
Ten-Year Objective
Win permanent protection of endangered wild regions that surround and encompass NRDC BioGems -- unspoiled ecosystems threatened by development.
2008 Victories
- Won appeals court victory that protects thousands of acres of Utah's stunning Redrock country from oil and gas drilling.
- Blocked the state-sponsored mass killing of gray wolves in the northern Rockies and restored their federal protection.
- Stopped the Shell Oil Company from drilling in the wildlife-filled waters off the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
2009 Action Plan
We will fight in court and in Congress to win protection for key wildlands and wildlife habitats in the Arctic, the Alaskan Rainforest, the Redrock wilderness and throughout the Greater Rockies. We'll petition the Obama Administration to reverse Bush policies that threaten wolves and bison in Greater Yellowstone. We will protect Canada's pristine boreal forest by securing permanent protections for a vast swath of Manitoba wildlands and curbing expansion of destructive tar sands development. Finally, we will continue pressuring Chilean officials to adopt an energy policy that safeguards the world-renowned Patagonia region from destructive hydropower development.
