Protecting Our Natural Treasures
This Week in NWF History
Since 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has worked to conserve the nation’s wildlife and wild places. As part of our 80th anniversary celebration, we are recognizing important moments in our history that continue to make an impact today.
As a longtime champion for the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Wildlife Federation and our affiliates work to ensure that major decisions – those impacting public lands, waters, wetlands and energy development projects – carefully consider impacts to wildlife and habitat, and consider alternatives that are more wildlife-friendly to better protect our natural heritage.
NWF and our valued members and supporters have been active voices in the fight to stop the Keystone XL pipeline and the Alberta Clipper line from harming our wildlife and wild places. Pipelines like these would increase the U.S.’s dependence on dirty fuels and drive a massive expansion of oil mining operations in Canada. In November 2015, our call was answered as President Obama took an historic step to help protect wildlife like moose, caribou, and waterfowl from destructive, climate disrupting tar sands oil and extreme fossil fuels by rejecting the ill-conceived Keystone XL pipeline.
Help NWF continue our efforts to protect moose and other wildlife from pollution threats!
