Scientists now estimate we could lose half of all plant and animal species by 2050.

From tropical forests to coastal wetlands and beyond, essential habitats around the world are being lost to development and worsening natural disasters such as wildfires, droughts and land degradation. Current funding levels fall drastically short for the urgent conservation needed to meet these growing challenges.

Proposed federal legislation, called the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act, would provide significant funding to help local communities and Indigenous Peoples effectively manage protected and 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.

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

Pass the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act

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.
