At a time when a national voice for conservation was lacking, the national wildlife federation formed in 1936 to advocate for wildlife conservation as one BODY, one federation, to support conservation. The national wildlife federation has worked since then, in partnership with its 52 state and territorial affiliates, to advance its mission to unite americans to ensure that wildlife thrives in a rapidly changing world. We believe that to save wildlife and ourselves, we need to ensure that everyone in america has clean AIR and water, safe communities, EASY and equitable access to the daily benefits of nature, and protection from the ravages of climate change. These basic needs, equally necessary and urgent for ALL people, are foundational to bringing the conservation movement and ethos into the 21st century. The national wildlife federation commits to achieve its mission and strategic plan and address the immense and interconnected wildlife, climate, and environmental justice crises by 2030.
