National Wildlife Federation is a voice for wildlife, dedicated to protecting wildlife and habitat and inspiring the future generation of conservationists.

For more than 40 YEARS, EARTHWATCH has connected EVERYDAY PEOPLE with the world's TOP SCIENTISTS to help conduct vital RESEARCH for a sustainable planet.

Human activities threaten animals and habitats across the world. Through our Endangered Species and Habitats Program, we have been actively working to protect ecosystems from human impact and conserve threatened animals and habitats for more than 20 years.

Our conservation projects span the world—from the Phoenix Islands of the South Pacific to the Amazon Rainforest and Canada’s Bay of Fundy. We successfully lobbied to move commercial shipping lanes out of critical right whale habitats, were instrumental in the creation of the world’s largest Marine Protected Area and continue to breed and raise several threatened or endangered species behind the scenes at the New England Aquarium.
