Description:
NRDC is the nation’s most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the
support of 1.4 million members and online activists to protect the planet’s wildlife and wild places and
to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things.
Founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys at the forefront of the environmental
movement, NRDC lawyers helped write some of America’s bedrock environmental laws.
Today, our dedicated staff of more than 350 lawyers, scientists and policy experts work with businesses,
elected leaders, and community groups to solve the most pressing environmental issues we face today.
We have offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing.
With the support of our members and online activists, NRDC works on a broad range of issues as we
pursue our mission to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems
on which all life depends.
