Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Environment, Forest Conservation, Land Resources Conservation, Natural Resources Conservation & Protection, Protection of Endangered Species
Mission: The Cascadia Wildlands was formed in 1998 to protect the natural heritage of the Cascadia bioregion - the coastal rainforest area from south-central Alaska to northern California. We have staff from Oregon to Alaska. Since 1998 we have organized thousands of people throughout the Pacific Northwest in campaigns that have saved old-growth forests and road-less wildlands from logging. We also work on wolf restoration and protects, salmon recovery, carbon reduction and host of other issues that are important to wildlife and wildlands. When it comes to protecting Cascadia's threatened ecosystems, we don't give up and we don't compromise.
Results: In 2013 alone Cascadia Wildlands stopped 26 timber sales on the Elliott State Forest, stopped the unregulated killing of wolves in Oregon by ODFW, stopped a proposal to ship coal from Coos Bay, fought against the so-called Frankenfish, challenged timber sales on the Tongass National Forest, and worked on legislation that removed suction dredgers from salmon waters waters in Oregon.
