Our Public Lands
A project of the National Wildlife Federation. Safeguarding public lands for fish & wildlife | For people to recreate & reconnect | For future generations.
https://linktr.ee/our_public_lands America's public lands--our national forests, parks, wildlife refuges, monuments, wilderness areas, Bureau of Land Management land and rangelands--are a uniquely American legacy. In all, these lands cover over 650 million acres - or almost 30% of the nation! Public lands provide habitat for more than 600 sensitive or threatened fish, wildlife and plant species. They also provide a place for sportsmen and other outdoor enthusiasts to recreate.

Good news! Important protections remain in place for wildlife and Indigenous sites at Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah.
The Senate did not follow through with a threat to rollback safeguards after tens of thousands of Americans spoke up in support of this cherished landscape.
But let’s all stay vigilant to prevent future attacks on public lands!

Two of the largest elk herds in the world are located in Moffat County, Colorado. Those herds are the backbone of a thriving hunting tradition that supports local businesses, outfitters, guides, and rural communities.
But a massive oil and gas lease sale on June 16 threatens to disrupt all of that. We can meet our energy needs without sacrificing the wildlife and landscapes that sustain wildlife and rural economies.

Sen. Mike Lee is once again targeting public lands.
A senate committee just approved his amendment that would revoke the Roadless Rule, opening up forest areas to road construction that could destroy wildlife habitat and lead to more wildfires that put the lives of wildlife and people in jeopardy.

Advocacy works. Major oil and gas companies listened. 🐻❄️
Thank you for speaking out against oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. These companies know that there’s no good reason to threaten wildlife and Indigenous People by drilling in this pristine habitat.

We applaud the major oil and gas companies for declining to bid on drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Unfortunately, the smaller companies that DID place bids are recklessly endangering wildlife and the Gwich’in People, while not doing anything to lower gas prices for Americans.
There’s still time to tell oil and gas companies to stay out of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge! 🚫
Tell them not to bid on drilling leases during Friday’s sale.
The Arctic is for wildlife and people, not oil rigs. 🐻❄️🫎🌲
Signed into law in 1934, the annual Duck Stamp Program features the hand-drawn artwork of adults and youth to raise money for conservation. Since its inception, the program has raised over $1.3 billion to conserve over 6 million acres of habitat, often in wildlife refuges.
For this week’s installment of Finding Refuge we’re collaborating with and to help get the word out. Artists may submit their entry beginning on June 1. See for more info and see the link in bio to read about our very own Tessa Nguyen who created this video.
The 19-million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is considered the “crown jewel” of wildlife refuges, but it is now under threat from oil and gas development. This home to polar bears, caribou, and musk ox is no place for drilling. 🚫
Tell oil and gas companies to boycott the lease sale on June 5.
