Mission

Our mission is to reform state wildlife management in the U.S. to be more democratic, just, compassionate and focused on protecting wild species and ecosystems:

• Democratic:

  • Because wildlife is held in the public trust and everyone should have a voice in wildlife decisions.

• Just:

  • Because wild animals deserve to be treated fairly as members of the community of life.

• Compassionate:

  • Because wild animals are sentient beings worthy of our empathy and respect.

• Focused on ecological health:

  • Because of the urgent need to protect species and ecosystems in the face of a global extinction crisis.
