When you support WildEarth Guardians, you join in the fight for a future where nature and people thrive together. Guardians defends the right of wildlife and wild places to exist and flourish, restore what’s been damaged, and build communities that live in balance with the natural world.
Since our founding more than 35 years ago, Guardians has centered our work protecting the vulnerable and voiceless and confronting the powerful people and unjust systems that stand in the way. Our team of lawyers and advocates bring the tools of litigation, watchdogging, policy advocacy, storytelling, organizing, rabble-rousing, and more to the fight every day. Together, we’re writing a new story for the American West.

WildEarth Guardians protects and restores the wildlife, wild places, wild rivers, and health of the American West. We have three programs—Wildlife, Wild Places, and Climate & Health—that bring people, science, and the law together in defense of the American West.
Founded as Forest Guardians in 1989, the original mission of WildEarth Guardians' grassroots effort was to fight a logging project on northern New Mexico's Elk Mountain in the Santa Fe National Forest. As the evidence of environmental threats continued throughout the West, Guardians’ efforts and programs expanded as well. Colorado is a priority state for Guardians in our fight to protect the Wild.
Since then, we've grown to protect the entire American West—with 35 staff, living across the West. Guardians is proof that a group of committed, visionary, idealistic, and passionate caretakers of the wild can take on the most daunting adversaries—and win.
