Advocates for the West

Advocates for the West is a public interest, nonprofit environmental law firm with an 85% record of legal success protecting the wildlife and wild places of the American West.

Our mission is to protect and defend our public lands, wildlife, watersheds and air through litigation and negotiation.

We envision an American West where citizens and their governments place high value on the natural world, where decision-makers use science and compliance with the law in reaching their decisions, and where caring for the earth and all its creatures for the benefit of future generations is a sacred trust.
