| Wetlands and reefs protect coastlines from storm damage and rising seas. Forests help regulate rain patterns to prevent droughts and floods. And every one of these vital ecosystems stores vast amounts of carbon, helping stave off further climate change.
 Your support is critical at this historic moment and enables EDF to protect forests, wetlands, oceans and other valuable ecosystems that in turn protect our communities and help stabilize our climate.
 
 Members like you are helping:
 
  Reduce deforestation and support healthy, resilient forests while boosting local agriculture and cattle production.
  Rebuild wetlands and protect them from being drained, developed and polluted, saving wildlife habitat and people’s homes.
  Empower small-scale fishers to adopt fishing practices that help restore critical ecosystems like coral reefs. 
 The science is clear: We can’t solve climate change without thriving forests, oceans and ecosystems. By protecting nature, we can safeguard our communities, economies and the well-being of generations to come.
