NRDC, The National Resources Defense Council is one of the nation's most effective environmental action groups. Our mission is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends.

We use law, science and the support of 1.2 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things.

Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of America's 100 best charities, and Charity Navigator has given NRDC four stars (out of a possible four). More expert opinions about NRDC.

These & many other programs help to save our marine and wild life!

Urge the Navy to stop harming whales with high-intensity sonar - Although the Navy agreed to limit its use of low-frequency sonar, it continues to blast the world's oceans with mid-frequency sonar, which can be just as harmful to whales and other marine mammals. Tell the Navy to turn off the noise.

Revive the World's Oceans - Ninety percent of the large fish like tuna and swordfish are already gone. Every year, high-tech fishing trawlers scrape bare an expanse of ocean floor 75 times larger than all the forests clearcut on land. All six species of sea turtle in U.S. waters are threatened with extinction, and marine mammals are increasingly assaulted by lethal noise from high-intensity military sonar and industrial activity. NRDC is working to create and implement a visionary, comprehensive strategy to revitalize the world's oceans, using proven solutions to restore and sustain diverse ocean life.

Save Endangered Wild Places - Across the Americas, the last large remnants of wild nature are under siege by chain saws, bulldozers and oil rigs. If we allow these natural treasures to be destroyed, humankind stands to lose vast troves of biological diversity, critical regulators of global climate, and irreplaceable sanctuaries for recreation and contemplation. NRDC's BioGems Initiative combines expert advocacy, online citizen activism, and front-line work by local partners in defense of our hemisphere's most imperiled ecosystems.
