      <MissionDesc>Defenders of Wildlife is a national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities. In FY2013 Defenders implemented a new ten-year strategic plan that defines three main conservation goals that constitute the focal areas of Defenders' mission-driven work. These three conservation goals were translated into new program classifications for budgetary purposes and are shown in the program line items of the FY2014 financial statements. The three conservation goals and related 10-year benchmarks of success are defined as follows:</MissionDesc>
