NWF PRODUCES REPORTS AND WORKSHOPS TO HELP STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE VULNERABILITY OF WILDLIFE TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. THIS GROUND-BREAKING WORK LED THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO AWARD TO NWF THE PARTNERS IN CONSERVATION AWARD. NWF ALSO WORKS WITH LAND TRUSTS, WATERSHED PROTECTION GROUPS, AND OTHERS IN INCORPORATING INFORMATION ABOUT CHANGING TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION PATTERNS SO THAT THEY CAN MAXIMIZE THE CHANCES OF SUCCESS FOR THEIR HABITAT PROTECTION AND RESTORATION WORK.OTHER NATURE EDUCATION MATERIALS COMMUNICATE NWF'S MISSION TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AROUND OUR THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES: GETTING KIDS BACK OUTSIDE, SAFEGUARDING WILDLIFE AND HABITAT, AND FINDING SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. WITH OUR CARDS AND WILDLIFE INSPIRED ITEMS, NWF HAS MORE WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR 4 MILLION MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS WHILE ALSO GETTING OUR MESSAGE TO NEW AUDIENCES WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN PROTECTING WILDLIFE.

THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION DEVOTED $383,161 OF ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE EXPENDITURES TO ATTEMPTING TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION IN FISCAL YEAR 2013. NWF ADVOCATED INCREASING FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS AND INVESTMENTS FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS AT VARIOUS FEDERAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENTS OF INTERIOR, AGRICULTURE, EPA, DOE, EDUCATION, AND THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. THESE INCLUDED LOBBYING FOR STATE AND TRIBAL WILDLIFE GRANTS, RESTORATION PROGRAMS FOR LARGE SCALE AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS, LAND CONSERVATION, AND THE EPA'S ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY GRANTS.

NWF OPPOSED EFFORTS TO BLOCK IMPLEMENTATION OF FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM LEGISLATION, TO EXPAND MOTORIZED ACCESS IN DESIGNATED WILDERNESS AREAS AND TO MANDATE DRILLING IN IMPORTANT WILDLIFE HABITAT LIKE THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. A MAJOR FOCUS ON NWF'S WORK WAS THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE FARM BILL WHICH IS THE LARGEST SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR PRIVATE LAND CONSERVATION. NWF'S PRIORITIES WERE CENTERED AROUND CONDITIONING NEW SUBSIDIES FOR CROP INSURANCE ON THE PROTECTION OF WETLANDS AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AND PREVENTING THE BREAK-OUT OF NEW GRASSLANDS AND PRAIRIES. NWF HAS CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON THE RESTORATION OF THE GULF OF MEXICO IN THE WAKE OF THE BP DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL, ADVOCATING AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL FOR STRONG RESTORATION PLANS. IN SEEKING TO PROTECT IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY ISSUES ELSEWHERE, NWF SOUGHT TO IMPROVE FLOWS IN THE APALACHICOLA RIVER, TO ADVANCE AND DEFEND EPA'S EFFORTS TO REDUCE POLLUTION IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, AND TO SEEK STRONGER ENFORCEMENT OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT AS IT RELATES TO MINING WASTE. WITH IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENING THE SURVIVAL OF MANY WILDLIFE SPECIES, NWF HAS ADVOCATED FOR A HALT TO THE KEYSTONE-XL PIPELINE AND OPPOSED CARBON INTENSIVE TAR SANDS PIPELINES IN THE MIDWEST AND NORTHEAST. OTHER CLIMATE RELATED PRIORITIES INCLUDED SEEKING THE EXTENSION OF TAX CREDITS FOR OFFSHORE AND ON-SHORE WIND PRODUCTION AND FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND THE HALT TO THE EXPORT OF U.S. COAL THE DEMAND FOR WHICH IS IMPACTING FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT IN THE INTERIOR WEST. TO PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE EXPANSION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, NWF ADVOCATED FOR PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION TO SHARE REVENUES FROM RENEWABLE LEASING WITH STATES INCLUDING FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES. NWF ALSO LOBBIED FOR PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF HUNTERS, ANGLERS AND OTHER OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS INCLUDING MEASURES THAT WOULD REAUTHORIZE THE FEDERAL DUCK STAMP PROGRAM AND ENSURE THAT A GREATER PORTION OF LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND DOLLARS ARE INVESTED IN HUNTING ACCESS. IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS BOTH WILDLIFE AND OUTDOOR RECREATION CONCERNS NWF ADVOCATED THAT THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT REFORM OIL AND GAS LEASING PRACTICES. TO PROMOTE THE RESTORATION OF WILDLIFE NWF WORKED AT THE STATE LEVEL IN MONTANA TO BUILD SUPPORT FOR THE RESTORATION OF BISON TO AND FEDERAL TRIBAL LANDS AND SOUGHT PASSAGE OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO CURTAIL THE IMPORT OF INVASIVE SPECIES TO THE U.S. AS WELL AS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF SPECIES LIKE ASIAN CARP.

NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION SPECIFIES IN ITS AWARD LETTER TO GRANTEES THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON THE USE OF THE FUNDS AND IN SOME CASES RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AWARD.

CONSERVATION ADVOCACY PROGRAMS (CONTINUATION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS):	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	THIS ADVOCACY WORK ADDRESSES THE THREE BIGGEST THREATS FACING WILDLIFE TODAY: HABITAT LOSS AND DEGRADATION; CLIMATE CHANGE; AND PEOPLE BECOMING INCREASINGLY DISCONNECTED FROM NATURE. NWF'S HIGHEST LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY FOR THE YEAR WAS RESTORING THE GULF OF MEXICO AND THE WATERSHEDS ALONG THE GULF COAST. IN THE FACE OF A DAUNTING CONGRESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT, NWF SUCCEEDED IN ENACTING THE BIPARTISAN RESTORE ACT, WHICH CREATES THE LARGEST ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION TRUST FUND IN HISTORY. THE RESTORE ACT WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CIVIL PENALTIES PAID FOR THE 2010 GULF OIL DISASTER ARE USED TO RESTORE THIS BADLY DEGRADED ECOSYSTEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE REGION'S PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE. NWF ALSO HAD AN IMPORTANT VICTORY IN ITS LONG-TERM EFFORT TO RESTORE BISON TO THEIR RIGHTFUL HOME IN THE AMERICAN WEST. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FORT PECK AND FORT BELKNAP TRIBES, WE RESTORED 61 WILD, YELLOWSTONE BISON TO THE FORT PECK RESERVATION IN MONTANA IN MARCH 2012, THE FIRST TIME THAT WILD BISON ROAMED ON TRIBAL LANDS IN OVER ONE CENTURY. NWF ALSO SECURED FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR MORE THAN 11 MILLION ACRES OF CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT, INCLUDING TESHEKPUK LAKE, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WETLANDS COMPLEXES IN THE ARCTIC AND HOME TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MIGRATORY BIRDS AND CALVING GROUNDS FOR THE 45,000-HEAD TESHEKPUK LAKE CARIBOU HERD. THROUGH OUR NATIONAL POLICY ACTION, NWF SECURED THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S FORMAL VETO ON THE CLEAN WATER ACT PERMIT FOR THE YAZOO PUMPS PROJECT IN MISSISSIPPI, WHICH WOULD HAVE DRAINED 200,000 ACRES OF CRITICALLY IMPORTANT WETLANDS, AND SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT FOR AND ACHIEVED FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT PERMANENTLY WITHDREW MINERAL LEASING IN THE VALLE VIDAL AREA OF NEW MEXICO, WHICH PROVIDES HABITAT FOR ELK, BLACK BEAR, AND THE ENDANGERED RIO GRANDE CUTTHROAT TROUT. NWF ALSO WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO SAFEGUARD WILDLIFE HABITATS. THROUGH WORK WITH RANCHERS ON RETIRING GRAZING ALLOTMENTS ON PUBLIC LANDS, NWF HAS MADE MORE THAN 500,000 ACRES OF LAND IN THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM AVAILABLE FOR GRIZZLY BEARS, WOLVES, AND OTHER WILDLIFE TO ROAM FREELY. WORKING WITH PRIVATE OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPERS, NWF COMPLETED A LAND MARK PRIVATE AGREEMENT ON PROTECTION OF THE ENDANGERED RIGHT WHALE DURING OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT CONSTRUCTION. THROUGH SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF THE AMERICAN WIND WILDLIFE INSTITUTE, AN INNOVATIVE STAKEHOLDER BODY COMPRISED OF CONSERVATION GROUPS AND WIND ENERGY COMPANIES, NWF IS ALSO ON THE FOREFRONT OF DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBLE LAND-BASED WIND ENERGY SITING PRACTICES. AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, NWF HAS WORKED DIRECTLY WITH COMPANIES TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES FOR PRODUCING PALM OIL, BEEF, AND LEATHER THAT AVOID DESTROYING TROPICAL FORESTS IN INDONESIA, BRAZIL, AND BEYOND. CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAVING PROFOUND EFFECTS ON THE ABILITY OF LAND AND WATER TO SUPPORT BOTH PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE. NWF WORKS BOTH TO ENACT POLICIES THAT REDUCE THE CARBON POLLUTION DRIVING CLIMATE CHANGE AND TO ENACT POLICIES THAT ENSURE THAT ECOSYSTEMS ARE RESILIENT AND ABLE TO WITHSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE'S HARMFUL IMPACTS. DUE IN PART TO NWF'S LEADERSHIP, IN 2012, PRESIDENT OBAMA REJECTED A PROPOSAL TO BUILD THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE, WHICH WOULD JEOPARDIZE WILDLIFE AND WATER SUPPLIES AND INCREASE OUR DEPENDENCE ON CANADA'S TAR SANDS OIL, THE DIRTIEST FUEL ON THE PLANET AND A MAJOR SOURCE OF CARBON POLLUTION. AMONG OTHER THINGS, NWF LED EFFORTS TO GENERATE ON-THE-GROUND OPPOSITION TO THE PIPELINE AMONG FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN NEBRASKA. NWF ALSO PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE ENACTMENT OF RULES THAT REQUIRED AUTOMAKERS TO NEARLY DOUBLE THE AVERAGE GAS MILEAGE OF ALL NEW CARS AND TRUCKS THEY SELL IN THE U.S. BY 2025. THIS WAS THE BIGGEST STEP EVER TAKEN BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE CARBON POLLUTION. TO HELP MAKE COMMUNITIES MORE RESILIENT TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, NWF LED THE SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO ENACT THE BIGGERT-WATERS FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM ACT, WHICH BEGAN PHASING OUT SUBSIDIES FOR DEVELOPMENT IN HAZARDOUS AREAS, ENSURED THAT FLOOD MAPS REFLECT SEA LEVEL RISE AND OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, AND STRENGTHENED VOLUNTARY PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF HARM'S WAY. BY USING LEAVING KEY COASTAL AND FLOODPLAIN HABITATS UNDEVELOPED, NWF WAS ABLE TO HELP PROTECT PEOPLE FROM DANGEROUS FLOODS WHILE SECURING AREAS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SURVIVAL OF SEA TURTLES, PELICANS, AND OTHER WILDLIFE. NWF ALSO ADVOCATES FOR FEDERAL AND STATE POLICIES THAT GET CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OUTDOORS THROUGH OUTDOOR EDUCATION, RECREATION, AND PLAY. FOR EXAMPLE, NWF IS HELPING LEAD THE CHARGE TO ENACT A HEALTHY KIDS OUTDOORS ACT IN CONGRESS, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR STATES TO HIGH-LEVERAGE LOW-COST STRATEGIES TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE.
EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND PUBLICATIONS (CONTINUATION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS):	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B	NWF'S BE OUT THERE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES AMERICANS TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDES A NUMBER OF USEFUL TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES THAT MAKE IT EASY TO GET OUTSIDE. THIS INCLUDES HIKE & SEEK, THE GREAT AMERICAN BACKYARD CAMPOUT AND NATURE FIND. HIKE & SEEK, ONE OF OUR SIGNATURE EVENTS, BROUGHT 885 EXPLORERS OUTSIDE TO EXPERIENCE NATURE IN AN EDUCATIONAL ATMOSPHERE. NWF'S CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITATS' PROGRAM HAS PRODUCED THREE SUCCESSFUL WAYS FOR OUR FOUR MILLION MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HELP WILDLIFE ON THEIR OWN TERMS AND IN THEIR OWN TIME - CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT, SCHOOLYARD HABITAT AND COMMUNITY WILDLIFE HABITAT. WITH OVER 146,000 CERTIFIED HABITATS, 3,550 ACTIVE SCHOOLYARD HABITATS, AND 65 CERTIFIED COMMUNITY HABITATS, OVER FIVE MILLION AMERICANS ARE PARTICIPATING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR WILDLIFE. NWF IS THE U.S. HOST FOR THE INTERNATIONAL ECO-SCHOOLS USA PROGRAM AIMED AT FOSTERING A GREATER SENSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOL AGE STUDENTS. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2009, NWF HAS SIGNED UP 2,300 SCHOOLS REPRESENTING 1.4 MILLION STUDENTS AND 83,000 EDUCATORS. HALF OF NWF'S 2,300 ECO-SCHOOLS REDUCED ENERGY BY AN AVERAGE OF 25% (OR $50,000 PER YEAR) SAVING THESE SCHOOLS $58 MILLION AND REDUCING 53 MILLION POUNDS OF CO2 EMISSION EACH YEAR. FOR 45 YEARS, RANGER RICK MAGAZINE HAS BEEN INTRODUCING KIDS TO THE WONDERS OF NATURE. RANGER RICK CONTINUED ITS STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION BY WINNING SEVERAL ACCOLADES, INCLUDING REGULARLY WINNING THE PARENTS' CHOICE AWARD FOR MAGAZINES AND AWARD FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHING. TOGETHER WITH OUR TWO OTHER AWARD WINNING CHILDREN'S MAGAZINES, THEY REACH ABOUT ONE MILLION HOMES PER MONTH AND OVER TWO AND A HALF MILLION YOUNG READERS. NWF'S TREES FOR WILDLIFE PROGRAM ENGAGED 10,000 CHILDREN AND YOUTH TO PLANT 21,000 TREES AT MORE THAN 100 EVENTS, THAT WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT AND STORE 1 MILLION POUNDS OF CARBON OVER 20 YEARS. TO BOOST UNDER-SERVED STUDENTS' CAREER ADVANTAGE FOR THE CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY, NWF'S CAMPUS ECOLOGY PROGRAM'S GREENFORCE INITIATIVE WORKED WITH SENIOR ADMINISTRATORS AND FACULTY AT MORE THAN 100 COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN SIX STATES TO INCORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY, GREEN-TECH SKILLS, AND JOB COMPETENCIES INTO NEW AND EXISTING CURRICULUM PROGRAMS THAT ANNUALLY REACH AT LEAST 15,000 STUDENTS.
