Wilderness Society |
|
| |
The Wilderness Society brings to bear scientific expertise, analysis and bold advocacy at the highest levels to save, protect and restore America's wilderness areas.
By:
Protecting the last great American wilderness area, the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, from oil and gas drilling;
Staving off logging and road building on 58 million acres of roadless lands;
Curbing the abuse of lands by off-road vehicle users;
Protecting America's wild places in Alaska and the lower 48 states from rampant oil development.
Winning StrategiesMany of The Wilderness Society's founders and earliest leaders were scientists and policy experts. Aldo Leopold is remembered world-wide for his ground-breaking work on an ethical treatment of the land. Robert Marshall was among the first to suggest that large tracts of Alaska be preserved, and shaped the U.S. Forest Service's policy on wilderness designation and management.
The Wilderness Society remains true to their principles and dedicated to the concept that careful, credible science, bold advocacy, and unswerving vision are essential underpinnings of conservation policy. |
