About
Rachel Carson brought widespread attention to the ecological dangers of pesticide use in 1962, sparking a concern for our environment that reverberates into present day. As our nation's population continues to grow, our environment faces increasing strain. The National Wildlife Federation is fighting for more assertive policies to address modern threats and restore healthy wildlife populations, from curbing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration, to protecting at-risk populations from toxic chemicals, contaminants, and non-native invaders. We’re also seeking innovative ways to solve current problems and prevent new threats from emerging. For more information

Responding to climate change involves two possible approaches: reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”) and/or adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”).

Causes of water pollution include untreated sewage and waste from domestic households, industrial and agricultural activities, oil spills and euthrophication.

Variety is the spice of life, an old saying goes. It’s also the price of life: Without a variety of life -- biodiversity -- ecosystems suffer. Ecosystems include all the things, living and nonliving, needed for the health of a particular area. Damaging biodiversity damages ecosystems because an ecosystem’s components are interdependent. Human life is affected, too. For instance, damaging a region’s insect life can interfere with pollination, which in turn affects the ability of plants to produce fruits and vegetables. Protecting biodiversity, then, also protects human interests.
