Defenders' programs give particular attention to imperiled species because of the irreparable loss that species extinction represents. Keystone and umbrella species and their habitats are particularly important because of the significant value they have for legions of biologically significant species. Large predators - typically umbrella and sometimes keystone species - warrant special attention because of their growing scarcity and the aesthetic, emotional and psychological value they provide to humanity. We are known for our innovative and pragmatic responses to a constantly changing political, economic and social environment. Our staff of scientists, wildlife specialists, educators, activists, economists and attorneys work in the halls of Congress, state legislatures, the courts, and local communities, and in more than a dozen Defenders offices across North America. We develop and advocate for innovative solutions that encourage conservation of entire ecosystems and interconnected habitats.And we emphasize collaboration with other groups as a means of bringing to bear as much collective influence as possible on policy-deciding officials and processes which are often subjected to relentless pressure from overbearing 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 and save something wild for future generations. 11770724 53325 88748 Information, Education, and Communication: Defenders of Wildlife's quarterly magazine, DEFENDERS, is sent to all members.

Mexican programs include national and international wildlife trade and habitat conservation, particularly as it affects Defenders' priority species and ecosystems and the progressive development of wildlife law and policy in Mexico. The Mexico consultant works throughout the country on the various programs from the northern Gulf of California to the Southern Yucatan Peninsula.Wolves, grizzlies, and other species face many of the same threats in western Canada as in the western U.S., with some species like grizzlies worse off in southern Alberta than in the states for example, but lack a strong legal system to protect them. Defenders of Wildlife keeps wildlife in the western life by restoring abundant wildlife populations prioritizing imperiled keystone species and advancing conservation of all native animals and plants through practical policies and practices and public support. 166846 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grants to recipients located in region. 22000 1 2 188846 X North America To facilitate the management of Mexican wolf populations in the borderlands region of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora and Chihuahua. 9000 Wire transfer Sub-Saharan Africa To Assist Living with Lions Trust with its expansion in the Amboseli and Mara ecosystems- for work including effective community education, community partnerships, long-term populstion monitoring programs, and scientific research on predator populations and behavior in human dominated landscapes . 22000 Wire transfer 2 Procedure for Monitoring Grants Outside the U.S.: Schedule F, Part I, Line 2: The Organization enters into a written grant agreement with the grantee that includes specific financial and programmatic accomplishment reporting requirements.
