This singular focus defines our important niche in the environmental and conservation community. Long known for its leadership on endangered species issues, Defenders' programs give particular attention to imperiled species in North America because of the irreparable loss that species extinction represents. We believe in the inherent value of wildlife and the natural world, whether it is bald eagles prized for their grace and beauty or honey bees valued for their role in producing our food. We are also known for our innovative and pragmatic responses to a constantly changing political, economic and social environment. Our staff of scientists, wildlife policy experts, lobbyists, marketing and communications experts, and attorneys work in the halls of Congress, state legislatures, the courts, and local communities, and in numerous Defenders field offices across North America. We develop and advocate for innovative "up-stream" management solutions for public and private lands that encourage conservation of entire ecosystems and interconnected habitats. We emphasize collaboration with other groups as a means of bringing to bear as much collective influence as possible on policymakers and processes which are often subjected to relentless pressure from special interests. The shared goal of all of our activities is to make Defenders the nation's most effective champion of imperiled wildlife in an era of climate change, leading the way in meeting the challenges and seizing the opportunities that tomorrow presents to leave a rich and diverse natural legacy for future generations. 12056678 13890 Information, Education, & Communication: Defenders of Wildlife's quarterly publication, DEFENDERS, is sent to all members. This award winning publication features informative articles on critical wildlife and land management conservation issues, editorial comment, and accounts of current actions taken by the organization. Defenders of Wildlife's other educational outreach projects include: providing the public with up-to-date information on wildlife and habitat protection issues; maintaining an activist network and alerting activists to contact elected officials on key wildlife conservation issues; and providing information to students and teachers on wildlife issues. Defenders of Wildlife also reaches the public by briefing the local and national media on important wildlife topics by producing high quality video and radio public service announcements on protecting America's wildlife and public lands and engaging supporters on our social network channels and though our daily blog. Defenders of Wildlife's website offers extensive information on wildlife species and related conservation issues. The website, www.defenders.org, serves as a resource for learning more about wildlife, understanding current policy issues, and getting involved. 2565180 Constituency Outreach: Defenders of Wildlife has an aggressive program to recruit and retain members to facilitate public participation in furthering its mission. Defenders of Wildlife provides the public with educational materials to inform them about issues affecting wildlife, the work of Defenders of Wildlife, and opportunities to take action on behalf of imperiled wildlife. 23239304 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 107 0 173 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 27 24 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA MA MD MI MN MO MS NC NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X The Organization 2026829400 1130 17th Street NW Washington DC 20036 Jamie Rappaport Clark 39.80 X X 275888 0 54200 Winsome McIntosh 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Caroline D Gabel 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Wallace 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Kopcho 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Ron Pulliam 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Judd 2.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Root 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mari Snyder Johnson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Sartore 2.00 X 0 0 0 Eric R Glitzenstein 2.00 X 0 0 0 Victor Sher 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Talbot 2.00 X 0 0 0 Edward Asner 2.00 X 0 0 0 Richard G Robb 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Musgrave 2.00 X 0 0 0 Barry R Noon 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dinah Bear 2.00 X 0 0 0 Holly Doremus 2.00 X 0 0 0 Liberty Godshall 2.00 X 0 0 0 Karin P Sheldon 2.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Turner Seydel 2.00 X 0 0 0 Judith Posnikoff 2.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Pritzlaff 2.00 X 0 0 0 David Margulies 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Corwin 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lyons Gray 2.00 X 0 0 0 Adelaide P Gomer 2.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Pawa 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jaime Pinkham 2.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Christen 40.00 X 148238 0 29123 Mano Koilpillai 40.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Barry 39.90 X 111426 0 21891 Diane Clifford 39.60 X 150151 0 29498 Peter Tardif 40.00 X 143540 0 28200 Jessie Brinkley 40.00 X 139953 0 27494 Robert L Dewey 40.00 X 138357 0 27182 Sajjad Ahrabi 40.00 X 130042 0 25547 Michael Senatore 40.00 X 129279 0 25398 Rodger O Schlickeisen 38.30 X 257899 0 50666 1624773 0 319199 18 1 1 0 SCA Direct 11200 Waples Road Suite 150 Fairfax VA 22030 Public edu and constituent dev 4617441 Production Solutions Inc 1953 Gallows Road Suite 600 Vienna VA 22182 Public edu and constituent dev 607215 Automated Mailing Inc 4407 Wheeler Avenue Alexandria VA 22304 Edu materials;
