The Conservation Alliance Board has approved nine emergency grants to support organizations working to defend our public lands. The grants, totaling $110,000, come from our new Public Lands Defense Fund.
Going back to 1999, we made 25 grants totaling $765,000 to 13 different conservation organizations.
From headlines, to tweets, to emails, to texts – there is a lot of press covering Secretary Zinke’s interim Bears Ears National Monument recommendation.
Though his recommendation is short on details, it is clear that Secretary Zinke thinks President Trump should use executive action to reduce the size of the monument.
In an open letter to Secretary Zinke, 75 Conservation Alliance members and partners add their voices to over one million others who have stood up on behalf of our country’s national monuments.
Through our funding program, we supported many grassroots organizations that led the effort to protect this special landscape….
Now is the time for Secretary Zinke to hear why keeping this National Monument intact is so important to our community.
The Conservation Alliance is excited to welcome Kirsten Blackburn as our new Advocacy Program Manager.
The Conservation Alliance made two emergency grants to support organizations working to defend public lands.
The Conservation Alliance opposes any effort to change the boundaries of existing national monuments through executive action.
