Desc	CONSERVATION ADVOCACY:1. A PART OF NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S PROGRAM ADVOCACY EFFORTS IN 2017 WERE DEDICATED TO PROTECTING KEY NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS, REGULATORY PROTECTIONS, AND KEYSTONE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUTES FROM BEING WEAKENED OR DISMANTLED BY THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESSIONAL INITIATIVES. THIS INCLUDED DEFENDING GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION AND CLEAN WATER PROTECTION PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY THE EPA; THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, NATIONAL MONUMENTS, AND PUBLIC LAND PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR; AND KEY WILDLIFE HABITAT PROTECTION AND RESTORATION PROGRAMS. WE ALSO FOUGHT UNBRIDLED FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS; THE EROSION OF PUBLIC INPUT AND SCIENCE ASSESSMENT IN PUBLIC POLICY DECISIONS; AND OTHER MATTERS THAT WOULD UNDERCUT THE NATIONAL SAFETY NET FOR PROTECTING OF LAND, WATER, AIR, WILDLIFE, AND COMMUNITIES.2. IN DECEMBER 2016, THE U.S. CONGRESS PASSED AND PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNED THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE NATION ACT (WIIN), WHICH PROVIDES $100 MILLION TO REPLACE FLINT, MICHIGAN'S PIPES. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION, LOCAL LEADERS AND OTHER PARTNERS BROUGHT TOGETHER COMMUNITY LEADERS IN MICHIGAN AND WASHINGTON, D.C., TO ENCOURAGE LEGISLATORS TO PASS THE BIPARTISAN BILL. WIIN ALSO ADVANCED SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPROVE WILDLIFE HABITAT. THESE INCLUDE RESTORING MORE THAN 10,000 ACRES OF FLORIDA EVERGLADES' WETLANDS, RETURNING THE LOS ANGELES RIVER-WHICH HAS BEEN CHANNELIZED-TO A MORE NATURAL STATE AND ENABLING FOUR DAMS IN KENTUCKY TO BE REMOVED, WHICH WILL IMPROVE WATER FLOW FOR FISH AND ENDANGERED MUSSELS, A LONG-TIME GOAL OF NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION AFFILIATE KENTUCKY WATERWAYS ALLIANCE. THE BILL ALSO AUTHORIZED KEY REGIONAL RESTORATION PROGRAMS FOR THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN, GREAT LAKES AND LAKE TAHOE.3. NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HELPED REINTRODUCE WILD BISON TO THE WIND RIVER RESERVATION IN WYOMING AFTER 130 YEARS. WHEN WE RESTORE BISON, WE RESTORE ECOSYSTEMS, AND RETURN THESE LANDS TO A STATE OF HEALTH AND BIODIVERSITY LOST FOR OVER A CENTURY.4. NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION MOUNTED THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE POLLINATOR CONSERVATION EFFORT EVER ATTEMPTED. THE FEDERATION'S CAMPAIGN TO EXPAND AND RESTORE MONARCH BUTTERFLY AND POLLINATOR HABITAT PROTECTION HAS BECOME A TRANSFORMATIONAL NATIONAL EFFORT, WITH AMERICANS ALL AGES AND ALL WALKS OF LIFE JOINING THE CAUSE.5. NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HELPED ASSURE THE CONTINUED RECOVERY OF THE LAST WILD FLOCK OF WHOOPING CRANES. OUR WORK TO SUSTAIN FRESHWATER FLOWS TO ESTUARIES ALONG THE TEXAS COAST IS KEY TO THE WINTER SURVIVAL OF THIS MAJESTIC, YET CRITICALLY ENDANGERED BIRD.6. THE FEDERATION CONSERVED MORE THAN ONE MILLION ACRES OF CONFLICT-FREE WILDLIFE HABITAT TO HELP WILDLIFE LIKE GRIZZLIES, BIGHORN SHEEP, BISON, AND SALMON THRIVE IN OUR NATURAL WORLD.7. WE WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO HELP WILDLIFE AFFECTED BY HURRICANES IN THE CARIBBEAN AND GULF COAST AND WILDFIRES IN THE WEST. TOGETHER, WE ARE HELPING RESTORE CRITICAL HABITAT FOR MANATEES, SEA TURTLES, MIGRATORY BIRDS, LYNX, OWLS, AND DOZENS OF OTHER SPECIES.8. WE WORKED WITH SIX TOWNS IN MASSACHUSETTS' GREAT MARSH TO DEVELOP A REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN AS WELL AS A PLAN FOR EACH COMMUNITY. WITH PARTNERS, RESTORED HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF COASTAL HABITAT, WHICH INCLUDED REPLENISHING 20 ACRES OF DUNES DEVOURED BY WINTER STORM SURGES (SUCH AS ON MASSACHUSETTS' PLUM ISLAND, ABOVE) AND REMOVING SOIL-WEAKENING INVASIVE PLANTS FROM MORE THAN 100 ACRES OF MARSH.9. TO ENCOURAGE VOLUNTARY WILDLIFE HABITAT DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAM EXPANDED TO 215,000 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE U.S. INCLUDING HOMES, FARMS, AND PLACES OF WORSHIP, PUBLIC SPACES AND MORE. THESE PROPERTIES ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY MORE THAN 500,000 INDIVIDUAL LANDOWNERS WHO, ON THEIR OWN, VOLUNTEER TO PROVIDE FOOD, WATER SHELTER AND PLACES TO RAISE YOUNG FOR BIRDS, POLLINATORS AND OTHER WILDLIFE. THEY MANAGE MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION ACRES OF HABITAT LANDS NATIONWIDE AND THERE ARE CERTIFIED HABITATS IN NEARLY EVERY U.S. COUNTY.10. OUR COMMUNITY WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAM GREW BY 25 CITIES, COUNTIES AND TOWNS TO 190 ACROSS THE U.S. AND THE MAYOR'S MONARCH PLEDGE GREW BY OVER 100 JURISDICTIONS AND IS AT 360 REPRESENTING COMMUNITIES WITH A POPULATION TOTAL OF 42 MILLION. BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS AIM TO MAKE ENTIRE JURISDICTIONS MORE WILDLIFE FRIENDLY AND ENCOURAGE HOMEOWNERS, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, PLACES OF WORSHIP, PUBLIC PARKS AGENCIES, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS, ZOOS, AQUARIUMS AND NATURE CENTERS TO CREATE NATIVE HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE.11. IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH OVER 50 ORGANIZATIONS, COMPANIES AND AGENCIES, THE FEDERATION HELPED COORDINATE AND LEAD THE MILLION POLLINATOR GARDEN CHALLENGE. BY THE END OF 2017, MORE THAN 670,000 GARDENS HAD BEEN ENHANCED OR CREATED VIA THIS CAMPAIGN PROVIDING NEEDED STOPOVER PLACES FOR MIGRATING POLLINATOR SPECIES AND CRITICAL HABITAT FOR RESIDENT SPECIES INCLUDING NATIVE BEES, BUTTERFLIES, MOTHS AND HUMMINGBIRDS. 12. PRESERVING AMAZON FORESTS: EACH YEAR FOR THE PAST DECADE, NWF HAS PRESSED GLOBAL BUYERS AND TRADERS OF BRAZILIAN SOY TO RENEW THEIR PLEDGE TO NOT BUY SOY FROM FARMS THAT HAVE CLEARED AMAZON RAIN FOREST, AND THIS YEAR, THE PARTIES TO THIS VOLUNTARY ZERO DEFORESTATION AGREEMENT FINALLY ANNOUNCED A PERMANENT RENEWAL OF THEIR COMMITMENT, PROTECTING MILLIONS OF ACRES OF AMAZON FOREST HABITAT FOR MACAWS, JAGUARS, MONKEYS AND MANY MIGRATORY BIRDS FROM THE U.S.13. WITH FREE SEEDLINGS PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION TREES FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM, YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS PLANTED SOME 25,000 NATIVE TREES AT SCHOOLS, PARKS AND OTHER PUBLIC LOCATIONS. SOME 400,000 NATIVE TREES HAVE BEEN PLANTED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM SINCE 2008. THEY HELP PURIFY AIR, CONSERVE WATER, COOL THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND IMPORTANTLY PROVIDE HABITAT FOR MANY NATIVE SPECIES.14. THROUGH OUR #SAVELACOUGARS CAMPAIGN, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION AND ITS PARTNERS ARE WORKING TO BUILD A VITAL WILDLIFE CROSSING OVER ONE OF THE BUSIEST FREEWAYS IN THE COUNTRY. THE WILDLIFE CROSSING AT LIBERTY CANYON WILL RECONNECT AN ECOSYSTEM LONG FRAGMENTED BY ROADS AND DEVELOPMENT, REESTABLISH A CRITICAL CORRIDOR FOR A MULTITUDE OF NATIVE SPECIES, AND PREVENT THE EXTINCTION OF THE LOS ANGELES AREA'S MOUNTAIN LION POPULATION. ONCE BUILT, IT WILL OPERATE AS A SITE FOR EXPANDED URBAN WILDLIFE RESEARCH, AND, AS POSSIBLY THE LARGEST SUCH URBAN CROSSING IN THE WORLD, THE PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE A CONTEMPORARY WORLDWIDE CONSERVATION MOVEMENT THAT SHOWS HOW WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE CAN COEXIST SUSTAINABLY.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS A 501(C)3 NONPROFIT CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION ORGANIZATION HEADQUARTERED IN RESTON, VIRGINIA. OUR MISSION IS TO UNITE ALL AMERICANS TO ENSURE WILDLIFE THRIVE IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD. FOUNDED IN 1936, THE FEDERATION HAS EMERGED AS THE NATION'S PREMIER GRASSROOTS CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION WITH SIX MILLION MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS, 51 STATE-LEVEL AND TERRITORIAL AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS, ELEVEN REGIONAL OFFICES, A NATIONAL ADVOCACY CENTER IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND OVER 300 EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S WILDLIFE CONSERVATION WORK, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, POLICY ADVOCACY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS A LEADING CONSERVATION VOICE FOR PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, INCLUDING HUNTERS, ANGLERS, GARDENERS, BIRD WATCHERS, SCIENTISTS, OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS, AND FAMILIES. FOR MORE THAN 80 YEARS, NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HAS ACHIEVED MANY SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION VICTORIES. WE RECENTLY HELPED RETURN BISON TO THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMES ON EASTERN SHOSHONE TRIBAL LANDS, AIDED IN SECURING PROTECTION OF IMPORTANT HABITATS IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND ROCKY MOUNTAINS AS NATIONAL MONUMENTS, AND CARRIED OUT ON-THE-GROUND RESTORATION OF COASTAL HABITAT ALONG THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, MAKING IT MORE RESILIENT TO RISING SEA LEVELS. NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IS ALSO VERY ACTIVE IN CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATURE. OUR CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAM HAS ENGAGED OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE AT 207,000 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE U.S., AND OUR MAYORS' MONARCH PLEDGE NOW HAS 300 MUNICIPALITIES COMMITTED TO TAKING ACTIONS TO HELP DECLINING MONARCH BUTTERFLIES. THIS IS A CRITICAL TIME FOR WILDLIFE. AT THIS MOMENT, MORE THAN A THIRD OF OUR COUNTRY'S SPECIES ARE AT RISK OF EXTINCTION IN THE COMING DECADES. IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY'S POPULATION HAS DECLINED BY 90 PERCENT. AMERICA'S FREE-RANGING BISON, WHICH ONCE NUMBERED 20 TO 30 MILLION, ARE DOWN TO FEWER THAN 5,000 INDIVIDUALS. IN THE FACE OF THESE CHALLENGES, THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION REMAINS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT TO TACKLE WILDLIFE'S GREATEST THREATS, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO INCREASE WILDLIFE POPULATIONS AND ENHANCE THEIR CAPACITY TO THRIVE. AS IN NATURE, WE HAVE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. OUR ABILITY TO HELP WILDLIFE IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED TO THE DIVERSE EFFORTS OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS THAT SUPPORT OUR MISSION. ACROSS THE COUNTRY WE ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS, GOVERNMENTS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD AND NURTURE A COMMON COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION. AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, WE'RE FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS WITH VALUABLE PARTNERS THAT SHARE OUR MISSION, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH 2,500 ORGANIZATIONS BY 2021. WE'LL ENGAGE MILLIONS MORE AMERICANS IN SUPPORTING OUR MISSION, INCLUDING 25 MILLION FUTURE GENERATION CONSERVATIONISTS IN 20,000 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THROUGH OUR HANDS-ON PROGRAMS, POLICY WORK, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND MORE, WE FORGE A CONSERVATION ARMY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT WORK EACH DAY TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR BOTH PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE-BECAUSE IN SAVING WILDLIFE, WE SAVE OURSELVES.
