Time is running out! Act now to help pass the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act before this Congress closes at the end of the year.

Scientists now estimate more than 1 million species are at risk of extinction, many within decades. Current funding levels fall drastically short for the urgent conservation work needed in essential habitats around the world.

The U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act would provide significant funding to help local communities and Indigenous Peoples effectively manage conserved areas that vulnerable species call home. Plus, it stretches dollars even further by incentivizing private and philanthropic funding to ramp up more critical conservation work.

It's time we take bold action to halt catastrophic species and habitat loss. Add your name and tell Congress to protect our planet’s wildlife and wild places.

We must take action to address the exponential loss of plant and animal species caused by natural disasters such as wildfires, droughts and land degradation. If we don’t act soon, scientists estimate that we could lose half of all species by 2050.

The U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act (S. 618 and H.R. 6727) would help prevent this crisis. This proposed bill would create a fund to support local communities and Indigenous Peoples around the world who want to manage protected and conserved areas effectively. It also would incentivize private and philanthropic funding to stretch federal dollars included in the bill even further.

As one of your constituents, I’m asking you to pass the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act. This important legislation would establish long-term, sustainable financing for conserving threatened lands and waters. Protecting nature isn’t just good for the United States and the health of our planet; it can also boost global stability and national security. Please give this bill your full support.
