 
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is an environmental action group supported by 1.2 million members and activists. Our mission is to safeguard the earth: its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. By fighting in court, working through Congress, and mobilizing millions of people worldwide, NRDC has stopped powerful corporate interests from destroying our clean air and water, public lands and wildlife habitats. The NRDC BioGems campaign empowers citizens to take effective online action in defense of our planet's most endangered wild places.
