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.
