OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL NGOS

Environmentalist NGO's are "wolves in sheep's clothing"

Under the guise of protecting nature, they collect donations and file frivolous lawsuits at taxpayer expense to eliminate the utilization of natural resources through grazing, logging, and mining on federal and state lands. Not only does this undermine true conservation and scientifically sound, balanced resource management, it decimates private property rights and devastates vital, long-established, sustainable industries upon which rural economies are based. It is highly important to be aware of these groups and their tactics as they work to line their pockets and gut our rural communities. Read about such groups' actions impacting the Hammond family here and here.
