- Description:
- WildEarth Guardians is one of the most feared and reviled conservation and environmental organizations in the United States -- by polluters and rapacious developers and exploiters of wilderness and the life within it. In case it's not clear -- that's a good thing! It indicates that this relatively tiny organization carries a mighty effective stick in its fight to preserve and restore wildlife, wild rivers, skies, mountains, prairies ("WildEarth") across the American West. The stick is the provision in the longstanding Endangered Species Act that allows interested parties to sue to prevent misuse and abuse of the land, and to force the hand of the often captive agencies to abide by the law's protections. While it fights on many fronts, it is famous for its fight to restore wolves to the habitat. It is currently also fighting fracking and coal mining, both for their direct damage to the environment and for their longterm impacts on climate change. Donations and volunteers are welcome!
