Native America was founded in 1995 and is dedicated to the reintroduction of native plant and animal species to their respective places in the american lands through education, research and habitat restoration. Native America has helped restore natural habitats of Long Island, New York.For the past three decades, our research has focused on studying the native flora and fauna of Long Island, New York.
Defenders of Wildlife
Defenders of wildlife is dedicated to the protection of all native wild animals and plants in their natural communities. we focus our programs on what scientists consider two of the most serious environmental threats to the planet: the accelerated rate of extinction of species and the associated loss of biological diversity, and habitat alteration and destruction. long known for our leadership on endangered species issues, defenders of wildlife also advocates new approaches to wildlife conservation that will help keep species from becoming endangered. Our programs encourage protection of entire ecosystems and interconnected habitats while protecting predators that serve as indicator species for ecosystem health.
Forest Watch

Our goals are to restore wilderness, protect imperiled wildlife, improve public land management, and promote ecological forestry. ForestWatch protects wildlife, wilderness, water, and sustainable

Center for Biological Diversity
At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on
the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive. Join us.
