About this organization

CWC is the only organization dedicated to protecting and restoring California's wild places and native biodiversity on a statewide level.
About
Public Lands DefenseOur current political climate is decidedly unfriendly if not outright hostile to most environmental protections. This includes direct threats to the bedrock laws of wilderness conservation and CalWilds work, such as the current administration's thinly-veiled attempt to weaken the Antiquities Act through Secretary Ryan Zinkes review on national monuments, or the alarming number of legislative attempts to gut bedrock laws like the Wilderness Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. CalWild is maintaining pressure via our legislative and administrative protection campaigns and through our Public Lands Defense Network, which unites conservation groups across the state to be alerted to threats early on. The Network also utilizes each group's strengths to share information and defense funding opportunities and disperse tools and communications content to make a serious dent in any attempts to rollback public lands protections. Through these alerts, statewide activist events, and Stand By Your Lands workshops, our efforts are bolstering public input for more sound federal land and water management.
