ENVIRONMENT

Natural Resources Defense Council and Action Fund: The NRDC Action Fund is spearheading the fight for America’s environment on Capitol Hill. We are organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, which permits us to devote 100 percent of our resources to lobbying Congress and mobilizing the public. The Bush White House and its allies in Congress have launched the most sweeping attack on environmental laws in modern American history. Their legislative agenda, bought and paid for by giant polluters, threatens to undo 30 years of bipartisan environmental progress. The Action Fund is launching a massive counterattack, funded by ordinary Americans, to halt and reverse this corporate-sponsored onslaught. The NRDC Action Fund is an affiliate of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Alaska Wilderness League: Alaska's wild lands -- specifically the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- are under attack. This extraordinary treasure trove of lands, set aside decades ago to be protected now and in the future for the benefit of the American people, is in severe danger of being destroyed forever by short-sighted politicians and the extractive industries. They want only the resources these pristine areas can provide, regardless of the resulting devastation to the habitat, wildlife, and cultures.

The Alaska Wilderness League is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 1993 to further the protection of Alaska's incomparable natural endowment. To learn about who's who at the Alaska Wilderness League, visit our staff or board of directors listings.

The Alaska Wilderness League supports legislative and administrative initiatives to protect Alaska's lands and waters, promotes national and local recognition of Alaska's spectacular environment through public education, strengthens grassroots activism on behalf of Alaska's environment, and provides leadership within the environmental community on selected issues that concern Alaska
