    Organization Mission

    WildEarth Guardians protects and restores the wildlife, wild rivers, wild places, and health of the American West. Founded in 1989, Guardians has a long history of conservation successes protecting ancient forests, rivers, other threatened landscapes, and wildlife. We currently operate four major programs-Wildlife, Wild Places, Wild Rivers, and Climate & Energy-and rely on a potent combination of education, scientific analysis, public advocacy, litigation, and on-the-ground restoration. We have more than 194,000 members, e-activists, and followers that support our work, the majority of whom live in the 11 western states. Guardians has offices in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington and our 35-person staff includes lawyers, policy experts, scientists, ecosystem restoration experts, community organizers, and fundraisers.
