Mission and programs · 2023

• ECOSYSTEM DEFENSE. OUR MISSION IS TO SECURE THE ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF THE WILD ROCKIES BIOREGION THROUGH CITIZEN EMPOWERMENT AND THE APPLICATION OF CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC MODELS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW. OUR PUBLIC LANDS BELONG TO ALL OF US, AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO PROTECT THE IMMEASURABLE VALUE OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS, SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS, AND FRESHWATER RIVERS AND LAKES FOR MANY GENERATIONS TO COME. TO FULFILL THIS MISSION WE COMMENT AND SUBMIT COMMENTS MOSTLY ON PROJECTS ON FEDERAL LANDS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND A FEW PROJECTS ON STATE LANDS IN MONTANA. IF THE GOVERNMENT IGNORES OUR COMMENTS, WE OFTEN HIRE ATTORNEYS TO FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE, THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, AND THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT. WE ALSO WROTE A BILL BEFORE CONGRESS, THE NORTHERN ROCKIES ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION ACT, H.R. 1321 IN THE HOUSE AND S. 827 IN THE SENATE.

  Expenses $292,370

• OUTREACH. THE ALLIANCE TALKS TO THE PRESS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR EFFORTS. WE HAVE BEEN QUOTED IN MEDIA THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND OCCASIONALLY IN EUROPE. WE ALSO REGULARLY WRITE COLUMNS FOR NATIONAL PUBLICATIONS LIKE COUNTERPUNCH, BUT COLUMNS BY THE ALLIANCE FOR THE WILD ROCKIES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAVE ALSO APPEARED IN THE NY TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST. OUR COLUMNS ARE ALSO PRINTED FREQUENTLY IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS IN THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. WE DO THIS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT HABITAT FOR NATIVE SPECIES IN THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.

  Expenses $103,462

• MEMBER SERVICE ACTIVITIES. THE ALLIANCE FOR THE WILD ROCKIES HAS MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ALLIANCE FOR THE WILD ROCKIES TO FURTHER OUR MISSION. TO KEEP OUR MEMBERS INFORMED, WE HAVE A WEBSITE, FACEBOOK PAGE, AND A TWITTER ACCOUNT. WE REGULARLY MAIL OR EMAIL OUR MEMBERS TO UPDATE THEM ABOUT OUR ACTIVITIES AND TO REMAIN THEM TO CHECK OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS. WE ALSO MEET WITH OR TALK TO OUR MEMBERS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO EDUCATE THEM OR ASK THEM TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS THROUGH THEIR OWN COMMENTS.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
