Support the Colorado Wildlife Federation

Colorado Wildlife Federation is a critically important non-profit in Colorado. It works to safeguard our state’s wildlife and habitats on public lands: their winter ranges, migration and movement corridors, reproduction areas, summer ranges and waterways they depend upon to survive. Ultimately Colorado Wildlife Federation works to preserve great wildlife and habitats in Colorado for you and future generations.

Colorado’s population is projected to likely to reach 8.7 million by 2050. Development on our public lands, if not carefully planned with wildlife fully considered at the start of a planning process, threatens iconic native species such as mule deer, elk, sage grouse and cutthroat trout. Respected wildlife biologists have already documented impacts. As to energy development, as Coloradans and Americans, we recognize the need for responsible energy development. Yet we also know that energy development need not, and must not, jeopardize our remarkable wildlife resource and the sustainable economy that depend on healthy populations and habitats. Similarly, trails-based recreation development must be planned in balance with wildlife needs.

Colorado Wildlife Federation does not shy away from this formidable challenge. As advocates for wildlife, it demands that the needs of wildlife be fully considered and addressed before development is planned on public lands – not as an afterthought. Colorado’s wildlife is worth sustaining!
