These pages are dedicated to examining issues affecting the health of planet Earth in both global and local contexts. Information pertaining to deforestation, sustainable energy sources, climate change, at-risk animal populations, air and water pollution, deregulation, and others will be displayed. The page will also contain a list of organizations dedicated to improving and sustaining the health of our planet.
While these issues have been at the forefront of our news recently, recent legislation has been systematically eroding the protections of our air, water, woodlands, and oceans. We cannot afford to become complacent about these issues. We must hold our governments, our business communities, and ourselves accountable.
Please find listings of environmental organizations helping in the fight to preserve the integrity of our natural world. Global organizations are listed first and are followed by a short list of organizations actively fighting to preserve Wisconsin’s woods and waters. These lists are by no means comprehensive. If you know of an organization that you feel should be listed, please contact us.
