Native Habitats

WWW: Native Habitats

The mission of Native Habitats is to participate in and support efforts to restore and preserve Wilderness and ecosystems (urban, suburban & wild) ....for the sake of preserving biodiversity and allowing native species, both flora and fauna, to survive and thrive.

Alliance for a Paving Moratorium

WWW: Alliance for a Paving Moratorium

Launched in 1990, the nonprofit Alliance for a Paving Moratorium is a diverse and rapidly growing movement of grassroots community groups, individuals and businesses. The common goal is to halt the tremendous environmental, social and economic damage caused by endless road building.

Wildlife Damage Review

WDR is a grassroots organization committed to shutting down the U.S.Department of Agriculture's Animal Damage Control, an agency that "controls" wildlife species on behalf of private landowners and public land agencies. Basically, the Federally-funded agency eradicates species using poison, trapping, and other methods. For example, according to WDR, 26,335 animals were "taken" by ADC's supposedly canine-specific M-44s in 1993: 23,183 coyotes, 1,852 red foxes, 529 gray foxes, 253 feral dogs, 181 racoons, and 126 skunks. WDR also works to protect native species threatened in other manners; but it's main mission is to do away with ADC.

This organization is founded by Clarke Abbey (Edward Abbey's widow), Lisa Peacock, Nancy Zierenberg, and Marian Baker Gierlach.
