Wildlife of the arctic circle
The arctic circle is home to animals, birds and plants that exist in an interconnected web of life at the top of the world.
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.
