Endangered Species Protection

Endangered Species
Recovering imperiled wildlife is one of our toughest challenges.
Because so many at-risk species live on private lands, Environmental Defense specializes in innovative incentives to reward good stewardship. We work to
- restore and protect critical habitat,
- lobby for conservation funding and
- enlist the aid of landowners.
Rewarding Landowners
Center for Conservation Incentives
This initiative develops and expands landowner incentives for the conservation of natural resources and rare plants and animals.
Protecting Habitats
Safe Harbor
This program assures landowners that their efforts to help wildlife won't lead to new constraints on their property. So far, 45 species have come under its protective umbrella.
