Our work for wildlife depends on the active stewardship of well-trained public servants.
The 皇冠体育app官网平台n people deserve to have everything they have been promised: clean air, clean water, and access to some of the most beautiful recreational opportunities in the world.
Unfortunately, recent severe and dramatic cuts to these critical conservation services are causing deeply felt impacts across the country and the economy. For decades, we have fought alongside our members, activists, and partners from across the political spectrum to secure robust conservation programs that are underpinned by strong science and research.
Today, the implementation of these programs is under threat of staff shortages and cancelled contracts. The impacts are widespread from threatening our national parks and wildlife refuges to rising energy costs, rising threat of wildfires and other disasters, impacts to small farmers, and more.
Federal natural resource professionals—scientists, land managers, park rangers, conservationists, researchers, and support staff—perform critical work that upholds the public trust, ensures scientific integrity, and promotes resilience to climate change, biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, water scarcity, and the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters."
