The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrives in a rapidly changing world. The National Wildlife Federation believes that in order to save wildlife and ourselves, we need to ensure that all Americans have access to clean air and water, safe communities, easy and equitable access to nature, and protection from the ravages of climate change. NWF has a long and respected track record in the field of environmental education and is a leader in applying nature and wildlife conservation to improve K-12 student achievement, particularly in the STEM disciplines, and fostering youth leadership and environmental stewardship. Our programs allow individuals to explore, analyze and take action on many key environmental issues facing communities, such as climate change, wildlife conservation, and environmental justice, with the end result of creating healthy, resilient, just, and thriving communities.
