Thank you for speaking up to defend wetlands and wildlife
January 9, 2026
At a time when federal agencies are making moves that threaten wildlife, clean water, and community health, public pressure matters more than ever.
Building on your advocacy, Riverkeeper submitted our own formal legal comments opposing these rollbacks and urging the agencies to uphold strong, science-based protections.
Together, we’re pushing back and standing up for the rivers, wetlands, and wildlife that our communities — and future generations — depend on.
