Protecting Biodiversity in Wisconsin Ecosystems

Protecting native wildlife is essential to maintaining biodiversity, which is crucial for the health of our ecosystems, the balance of our environment, and our own well-being. When wildlife thrives, so do human communities, as we are all part of a connected web of life.

Ecosystems are intricate networks of interdependent species. Like a house of cards or a Jenga tower, the entire structure can collapse if one species is removed, leading to far-reaching and devastating consequences.

In today's world, taking steps to protect wildlife and their wild habitats is more important than ever. The United Nations has emphasized that biodiversity is “our strongest natural defense against climate change.”

The Wisconsin Chapter of the Sierra Club plays a pivotal role in protecting wildlife, particularly critical species like wolves and beavers, through advocacy and support for wildlife-friendly policies.
