CONSERVATION REPORT CARD
2018
Defenders of Wildlife is a national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the protection of all native
animals and plants in their natural communities.
Defenders’ approach to conservation is direct and straightforward: We protect and restore imperiled species throughout North America by transforming policies and institutions and promoting innovative solutions. Informed by scientific, legal and policy expertise, hands-on wildlife management experience and effective advocacy, we strive to make a lasting difference for wildlife and its habitat in these uniquely challenging times.
Defenders engages in vigorous congressional advocacy efforts in support of our mission. We express our views on legislation affecting wildlife and public lands, work to achieve acceptable pro-wildlife and habitat outcomes, and grade lawmakers on their votes in our annual conservation report cards.

Cover photo: Monarch butterfly on milk thistle © Valerie DonohueButterflies faced threats in the 115th Congress in the form of a House Farm Bill provision that would have placed butterflies and other pollinators at greater risk to pesticides and passage of funding for a section of border wall through the National Butterfly Center in Texas.
Defenders of Wildlife’s 2018 Conservation Report Card measures the commitment of U.S. senators and representatives to wildlife
and habitat conservation during the 2017 and 2018 sessions of the 115th Congress. It tells you at a glance if your elected representatives are preserving America’s natural heritage for our children and grandchildren.
This report card reviews 12 Senate votes and 20 House votes with serious implications for wildlife, habitat and the environment, including House legislation that would have turned the Farm Bill into an attack on wildlife and bedrock environmental protections, a bill that would have required funding for a damaging border wall to keep the government open, an amendment that would have blocked Endangered Species Act protections for hundreds of threatened and endangered species, and a tax bill that authorized drilling in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Two bright spots in this Congress of setbacks were votes that defeated a Senate amendment that could have led to the removal of more than 1,000 protected species from the endangered species list and a House amendment that would have blocked endangered species protections for the endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse.
