APPROXIMATELY 100+ MILLION ACRES OF WILDLANDS ON FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS REMAIN UNPROTECTED. IN THE ABSENCE OF PROTECTION THEY FACE DEGRADATION AND COMPROMISE EXISTING PROTECTED AREAS. FURTHER, WITHIN A DIFFICULT POLITICAL CLIMATE, A SUSTAINED ATTACK ON PUBLIC LANDS SEEKS TO DISMANTLE THIS AMERICAN LEGACY. LAST, THE PACE AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF CLIMATE CHANGE MAKE CONSERVATION MORE CHALLENGING AND ISOLATED PROTECTED AREAS MORE VULNERABLE. CLIMATE CHANGE DEMANDS THAT WE WORK ON A GREATER SCALE MORE QUICKLY TO PROTECT LARGE, CONNECTED NATURAL SYSTEMS THAT WILL BE RESILIENT TO IMPACTS. WE SEEK WILDERNESS AND OTHER DESIGNATIONS TO PERMANENTLY PROTECT PUBLIC LANDS AND THEIR WILD LAND VALUES WITHIN LARGE, CONNECTED LANDSCAPES.ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IS THE PREEMINENT THREAT TO WILDLANDS - TWS BRINGS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EXPERTISE TO DRIVING ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AWAY FROM CORE WILDLANDS. MORE THAN 300 MILLION ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND ARE AT RISK TO ENERGY DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS, CREATING AN OVERWHELMING THREAT TO WILDLANDS. WITHOUT A "COMMON SENSE AVOIDANCE" POLICY AND QUID PRO QUO, THERE WILL BE AN EROSION OF REMAINING WILDLANDS. GUIDING ENERGY DEVELOPMENT TO THE RIGHT PLACES AND CREATING A NET CONSERVATION BENEFIT WILL PRODUCE A WIN-WIN. FURTHER, DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING POLICY THAT PROTECTS CORE WILDLANDS FROM ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, GUIDES DEVELOPMENT TO APPROPRIATE AREAS, AND LEVERAGES INCREASES IN THE PROTECTED STATUS OR MANAGEMENT OF WILDLANDS IN THE LARGE LANDSCAPES WHERE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS WILL PRESERVE THESE LANDS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. 5190771 15298 NATIONAL CONSTITUENCY THAT MIRRORS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC - TWS' COMPELLING MISSION COUPLED WITH THE ABILITY TO REACH AND ACTIVATE NATIONAL AND LOCAL AUDIENCES TO PROTECT WILD PLACES PROVIDES A UNIQUE PLATFORM TO RE-ENGAGE OUR CITIZENS IN OUR WILDERNESS ROOTS - BEGINNING WITH THE PEOPLE, NOT WITH PLACES. WILDERNESS IS LACKING RELEVANCE TO NEW AND EMERGING AUDIENCES, CONTRIBUTING TO DIMINISHED PASSION FOR OUR ISSUES; ON-THE-GROUND WILDERNESS SUPPORT IS NEUTRAL, AT BEST. WE LOOK TO INSPIRE MORE AMERICANS TO CARE FOR OUR WILD PLACES AND BUILD MEANINGFUL COALITIONS TO ADVOCATE FOR PROTECTING A CONTINUUM THAT INCLUDES URBAN GREEN SPACE, WILDERNESS, AND THE TRAILS AND CORRIDORS THAT CONNECT THEM. WE ALSO WORK TO PROMOTE OUTDOOR EDUCATION, RECREATION AND ACCESS TO THE OUTDOORS FOR THOSE LIVING IN URBAN CENTERS - CONNECTING THEM INTELLECTUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY TO THIS CONTINUUM.
