Organizations Filed Purposes: LEADING THE WAY TO CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS THAT MATTER.

CLIMATE-WISE INITIATIVE: WE HELP COMMUNITIES BETTER UNDERSTAND AND PLAN THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. OUR PROJECT TEAMS COORDINATE WITH RESPECTED SCIENTISTS TO FACILITATE COMMUNITY-BASED ADAPTATION PLANNING AND DECISION-MAKING EFFORTS, WORKING ACROSS NATURAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE INTEGRATED AND CO-BENEFICIAL STRATEGIES THAT INCREASE LOCAL RESILIENCE.

FOREST LEGACIES INITIATIVE: WE WORK TO PROTECT THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR NATIONS OLDEST FORESTS, INCLUDING CARBON STORAGE, FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND CLEAN WATER. THE TEMPERATE RAINFORESTS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ALASKA ARE A PARTICULAR FOCUS OF OUR WORK, AS THEY ARE GLOBAL CHAMPIONS IN TAKING UP AND STORING CARBON IN THEIR LONG-LIVED TREES. WE ADVOCATE FOR POLICY REFORMS AT THE REGIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL TO DIRECT FOREST MANAGEMENT TOWARD RESTORATION, CARBON STORAGE, AND PROTECTION OF BIODIVERSITY.

WORKING WATERS INITIATIVE: WE DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESTORATION-BASED SOLUTIONS IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF WATER SUPPLY, WATER QUALITY, FLOOD PROTECTION, SEA LEVEL RISE, WILDFIRE RISK, AND MANY OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES ISSUES THAT ARE BEING EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. BY ENCOURAGING DECISION MAKERS AND LAND OWNERS TO RESTORE WATERSHEDS, RATHER THAN INSTALLING NEW STRUCTURES LIKE DAMS, WE STRIVE TO INCREASE THE RESILIENCE OF BOTH NATURAL AND HUMAN COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
