PROTECTING PARADISE TO PRESERVE THE FUTURE.

America’s great coastal treasures are calling for our care. Vanishing Paradise, a program of the National Wildlife Federation founded in 2009, unites sportsmen and women who believe in protecting the places that make our outdoor traditions possible.

Whether out on the water or in the halls of Congress, we’re raising our voices and working to help restore, rebuild, and defend habitats that fish, waterfowl, and future generations depend on.

Keep the momentum flowing by joining our Sporting Council, following us on social media, signing up for our newsletter or attending our community events.
