The Conservation Alliance is proud to highlight individuals at member companies who are doing exceptional work to advance TCA priority campaigns and grantmaking efforts. This month, we are excited to recognize Alicia Harvie, the Head of Community and Government Affairs at REI Co-op. Recognizing the importance of public lands for REI Co-op and its members, employees, and customers across the country, Alicia has been a key player in getting them all-in on the Mobilizing for Monuments campaign. Taking it a step further, she helped to launch the Cooperative Action Network which allows them to mobilize their community to add their voices to petitions in support of these special places. Alicia has also joined us to connect with on-the-ground partners and has seen firsthand how powerful it is when businesses work in solidarity with frontline communities. Please help us thank and celebrate Alicia for all she does!

The Biden Administration just made a historic and pivotal decision to protect 28 million acres of Alaska’s homelands. Alaska’s D-1 lands are essential to Alaska Native communities’ food security and way of life. A heartfelt congratulations SalmonState, Igiugig Village, Flickr, SmugMug, FISHHOUND EXPEDITIONS LLC, Susitna Adventure Lodge, Alaska Sportsman's Lodge, Wild Salmon Center, and many other partners (featured in this film and otherwise) for their work on this effort!

Breaking news! The Bureau of Land Management and Biden Administration just announced the final decision to permanently protect 28 million acres of public lands in Alaska known as Alaska's D-1 lands. We are incredibly proud of the leadership role we played over the last three years in this campaign. Congratulations to our members, grantees, and partners! This is a huge win because: ✅ Over 140 Alaska tribes called for this decision because ensuring protections remain in place will support the possibility of co-management of this land. ✅ Protecting this landscape will prevent more than 600 million tons of carbon dioxide from being released. ✅ Alaska’s outdoor recreation economy accounts for $2.6 billion and 20,000 jobs annually and it depends on access to intact public lands.

In September 2023, The Conservation Alliance awarded a grant to Chesapeake Conservancy to support the acquisition of a 703-acre property at Fones Cliff above the Rappahannock River in Virginia. Once acquired, this land will be returned to The Rappahannock Tribe for their stewardship under a co-management arrangement with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Protecting this landscape will create access for the Tribe, recreationists, and so many others for generations to come. Learn more about the project in a blog written by Aniyah Mulligan and Patricia Morris with the Rappahannock Tribe and Jody Couser with the Chesapeake Conservancy: https://lnkd.in/gbNqu92w.

Right now, the Bureau of Land Management and Congress have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to safeguard 28 million acres of intact landscapes in Alaska. Opening these lands to extractive industrial development threatens Alaska’s outdoor recreation industry, which contributes $2.6 billion to Alaska’s economy and employs 20,515 people. We urge the Bureau of Land management and Congress to ensure protections for Alaska’s D-1 lands. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gUU5gzb9 Flickr

Each grantee receives $100,000 over a two-year period ($50,000 per year) for their effort to protect, conserve, or restore land and/or water to foster a planet where natural places, wildlife, and people thrive together.

Wow! We had a fantastic time at last night's #MobilizingforMonuments Road Trip Film screening at the Patagonia store in Boulder, CO. Thank you to everyone who came out to watch the film (created in partnership with Flickr, Rivian, and Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project). We always enjoy the chance to engage with member companies, grantees, and community members about how we can all work together to protect outdoor spaces. And thank you to our panelists from Patagonia, DOLORES RIVER BOATING ADVOCATES, and Backpacker's Pantry, and to Best Day Brewing and New Belgium Brewing for donating beverages.

"If you listen very carefully, you'll be able to hear the footsteps of our ancestors." - Stuart Chavez, former Havasupai Tribal Council member One year ago today, decades of advocacy led by Native American tribes culminated with the designation of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. Members of the Conservation Alliance and Mobilizing for Monuments played a role by utilizing their business voice to advocate for this protection. Learn more about the significance of this monument from our grantee, Grand Canyon Trust, and at https://lnkd.in/gvnfjZ4N.
