What We Do
Keeping Arkansas Wild
Protecting Arkansas Wildlife
From the Ozarks to the Delta, Arkansas is home to amazing biodiversity – including species found nowhere else on Earth. But wildlife face increasing and complex threats such as loss of habitat, extreme climate conditions, pollution, and the spread of invasive species.
Up to one-third of U.S. species today are at a heightened risk of extinction – including at least 377 species right here in Arkansas. Arkansas Wildlife Federation (AWF) serves as an active, independent, and nonpartisan voice for all native species found in the Natural State.

DECLINING POPULATIONS
Once abundant in Arkansas, steady decreases have led to habitat recovery efforts and the ongoing importance of citizen-assisted population surveys.
