People are coming together to protect grasslands
Although grasslands have traditionally been overlooked, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are now coming together to protect them.
Wildlife & wild places
Can you imagine a world filled with more wildlife and wild places? So can we. And we’re working together to make it happen.
Every minute, we’re losing two football fields worth of wild lands, and too many animal species face extinction. It’s up to us to turn things around. We imagine an America with more mountaintops where all we see is forests below, with more rivers that flow wild and free, more shoreline where all we hear are waves. An America with abundant wildlife, from butterflies and bees floating lazily in your backyard, to the howl of a coyote in the distance, to the breach of a whale just visible from the shore. Together, we can work toward this better future.

The Public Interest Network’s 2024 highlights
Ten highlights from 2024, when we remained focused, as always, on our core mission: to tackle problems of abundance. Economic growth, for all its virtues, causes its own set of problems: for our environment, public health, and our sense of connection to each other and to our democracy.
