Rivers, Lakes, and Wetlands

We protect water resources for birds and people.

Water for people and birds.

探花精选 works to ensure that we have clean and abundant water in rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, and marshes in landscapes where this is paramount to birds鈥 survival. 探花精选 connects science, policy, and advocacy to provide measurable and scalable impact.

How We Work, Where We Work

探花精选 helps restore freshwater wetlands, riparian areas, and land around the saline lakes of the Intermountain West, and works with federal and local officials to secure funding to keep these vital areas protected and productive.
