2008 Annual Report

During NFWF's first 25 years, we have made enormous strides and we have learned how to make an even greater conservation impact going forward. Thanks to the extraordinary passion and dedication of our remarkable staff, Board of Directors, and past Board leadership, the Foundation is extremely well-positioned for the future. As you will learn in our 2008 annual report, several key accomplishments in 2008 embody our strengths and commitment, not only throughout the year, but also throughout the past 25 years. As a leader in forging innovative corporate partnerships, we created two new programs with Covanta and ArcelorMittal to clean up our oceans and restore the Great Lakes. In our unique role as fiduciary manager for legal settlement funds, we’ve put money on the ground for exemplary conservation projects in Florida, Utah, and Kansas. And, in a first for recovering populations of imperiled species, we were the catalyst in convening scientific experts to produce unified visions and restoration efforts for sea turtles and the American oystercatcher.
