Defenders of Wildlife: 99% of Endangered Species Saved, but Threats Persist

Defenders of Wildlife, a prominent conservation organisation, has been actively protecting endangered North American species for decades. They advocate for robust conservation laws and promote responsible renewable energy siting to combat climate change. The organisation works tirelessly to safeguard a wide range of biodiversity, from plants to predators.

Defenders of Wildlife operates on multiple fronts to protect wildlife and their habitats. They speak up for wildlife in various platforms, including the courts, Capitol Hill, and local communities. The organisation also works to protect habitats on both federal and private lands, promoting coexistence measures with wildlife. Their efforts have contributed to the success of laws like the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Despite their success, the organisation faces ongoing threats to species' survival. Climate change, invasive species, and diseases continue to pose significant challenges. Human activities have accelerated the extinction rate to up to 1,000 times faster than normal. However, Defenders of Wildlife remains committed to innovative approaches to achieve social acceptance for wildlife and their habitats.

Defenders of Wildlife, with its decades of experience, continues to be a crucial advocate for endangered North American species. Their work has helped to protect over 99% of ESA-listed species, many of which are on the path to recovery. As climate change and other threats persist, the organisation remains dedicated to finding solutions and promoting coexistence with wildlife.
