Protect!


Where our lands and waters are healthiest, let’s work to keep them thriving!

What are the common traits of healthy lands and waters?

  • Many different species of plants and animals sharing a common “home” (biodiversity)
  • Thriving populations of “indicator species,” such as native brook trout, that only live in clean environments
  • Substantial tracts of forests, meadows and undeveloped land
  • Connected forests and rivers that provide safe “corridors” for wildlife
  • Fewer invasive species (both plants and animals)
  • Rural or low-density development

Once these important characteristics start disappearing, it can be very difficult to get them back in balance. Our approach begins with strong science to pinpoint the most critical (and most threatened) regions.

We’re tackling the challenges. Learn how >>
