Defend the Endangered Species Act

The Endangered Species Coalition’s mission is to stop the human-caused extinction of our nation’s at-risk species, to protect and restore their habitats, and to guide these fragile populations along the road to recovery.

We work to safeguard and strengthen the Endangered Species Act, a law that enables every citizen to act on behalf of threatened and endangered wildlife – animals, fish, plants, and insects – and the wild places they call home. We use grassroots mobilization, education, and targeted campaigns to enable every American to participate in actions that impact the democratic political process.

Help advance wildlife protection by adding your voice to these important campaigns:
