Some nonprofit organizations supporting related causes and their mission statements:

MANGROVE RESTORATION

Urban Ocean Lab www.urbanoceanlab.org

Urban Ocean Lab cultivates rigorous, creative, equitable, and practical climate and ocean policy for the future of coastal cities.... Coastal ecosystems provide natural shoreline protection, enhance food security, and support coastal economies, all while absorbing tons of carbon. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, coastal development, and pollution…Mangrove forests are carbon-rich ecosystems and absorb an estimated 24 million tons of carbon globally each year.

Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation www.sccf.org

SCCF's mission is to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems through our focus on Water Quality Research, Policy and Advocacy, Sea Turtles and Shorebirds, Native Landscaping, Habitat and Wildlife Management, and Environmental Education.

Coral Triangle Center www.coraltrianglecenter.org

Coral Triangle Center inspires and trains generations to care for coastal and marine ecosystems. 

WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND FOREST RESTORATION

Outdoor Alliance www.outdooralliance.org/landscape-conservation 

Outdoor Alliance engages in Forest Planning efforts across several National Forests, working to protect these places. Among other efforts, they are petitioning for more funding for wildfire prevention, which you can sign here: https://action.outdooralliance.org/a/wildfire,

National Forest Foundation www.nationalforests.org/tree-planting-programs/climate 

The National Forest Foundation works with forestry experts from the U.S. Forest Service to plant the right trees in the right places....By planting trees on National Forests, we are lessening the effects of climate change and helping our forests adapt.

EAGLE CONSERVATION

The Alaska Raptor Center alaskaraptor.org/about-us/

The Alaska Raptor Center rescues, treats, and releases hundreds of injured bald eagles and other birds each year. Eagle conservation also helps regulate other animal populations and benefits the ecosystem. 

DOLPHIN CONSERVATION

Wildlife Conservation Society www.wcs.org

For 125 years, WCS has been dedicated to saving wildlife and wild places, powered by the expertise and science in our zoos, aquarium, and global conservation program....Using sound science, WCS discovered that Bangladesh’s vast Sundarbans mangrove forest and adjacent marine coastal zone is a global stronghold for threatened dolphins, porpoises, and whales. The Government of Bangladesh responded to WCS information and encouragement by establishing three sanctuaries to protect Asia’s last two remaining freshwater dolphin species and creating the nation’s first marine protected area.

Sarasota Dolphin Research Program www.sarasotadolphin.org

We conduct the longest-running study of a wild dolphin population in the world and have been learning about the daily lives and threats to the dolphins of Sarasota Bay, Florida, since our program began in October 1970....Today, we share our knowledge through national and international collaborations designed to help conserve wild dolphin populations — not just in Florida and in the U.S., but throughout the world.

CLIMATE CRISIS SOLUTIONS

One Earth www.oneearth.org 

One Earth is a nonprofit organization working to accelerate collective action to solve the climate crisis through groundbreaking science, inspiring media, and an innovative approach to climate philanthropy. The solutions for the climate crisis already exist, and the latest science led by One Earth shows we can achieve the critical 1.5°C goal through our three pillars of collective action:

• A just transition to 100% renewable energy;

• Protection and restoration of half of the world’s lands and oceans;

• A shift to net-zero food and fiber systems....

...Today, the greatest threat to solving climate change is a sense of hopelessness….We need everyone to know that the 1.5°C goal is achievable if we act together with focus and determination.
