Our Conservation Policy program invests in regional or state-level policy priorities that build a track record of success and demonstrate the benefits of pro-conservation policies to public officials. Policy opportunities vary dramatically in different parts of our region; these differences reflect the distinct policy environment and history of conservation issues in each state, as well as the capacity or structure of the local conservation community. We will focus our resources on a very finite number of state-based groups that demonstrate the leadership, capacity, and track record to achieve success, with the overarching theme being a commitment to support policies that ensure the protection of our region's air, land and water.
- Our strategy invests in two or three critical organizations in each state (or province) that demonstrate the leadership, capacity, and track record to enact, implement, enforce, and defend strong conservation policies.
