“Imperiled species rely on the National Wildlife Refuge System lands and waters to provide sanctuary and shelter them from the escalating threats of the biodiversity loss nationwide,” said Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife president and CEO. “Expanding and protecting these refuges are essential to ensuring the protection of nature, from the smallest butterflies to polar bears and everything in-between.”
To address the biodiversity and climate crises and to promote more equitable access to the outdoors, Defenders of Wildlife today announced a new campaign to expand the National Wildlife Refuge System – the only federal lands system dedicated to the protection of wildlife. The announcement was made during National Wildlife Refuge Week, October 10 - 16, which celebrates the refuge system.
