2020 ANNUAL REPORT WE DEFEND THE WEST

4 > LETTER TO OUR SUPPORTERS WE DEFEND THE WEST We use the power of the law to safeguard the public lands, wildlife, and communities of the American West in the face of a changing climate. As a nonprofit, pro bono law firm, we do not charge our clients for services, but rely instead on charitable gifts from individuals, families, and foundations to accomplish our mission. We are the lawyers fighting for the environment, for the wildlife, and for the West. Dear Friends and Supporters,

In 2020, we face a perilous confluence of crises: an unraveling climate and related wildfires, a disastrous pandemic, economic hardship, chronic racial injustice, and a glaring failure of political leadership, especially in Washington, D.C. But we are grateful because you have helped us navigate this confluence with persistence, grace, and power.

Together, we have defeated the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate restrictions on methane pollution and waste from oil and gas development. And we are front line advocates for iconic wildlife, including the grizzly, wolf, lynx, and wolverine, that still roam the American West, fierce and wild. And we are leaning forward, defending the people’s environmental law, the National Environmental Policy Act, which is essential to the protection of rivers, public lands, and low-income communities.

We have also strategically used the power of the law to set precedent and create authority to spur positive change. And though we are prepared to confront whatever the years ahead may bring, we now look forward with purpose, intention, and courage to the prospect of new political leadership and the opportunity for visionary and ambitious action. With your support, and the engagement of our partner organizations, the Western Environmental Law Center will continue to work for a strong and resilient West.

To the future.

For the West,

Karin P. Sheldon Erik Schlenker-Goodrich Board President Executive Director We are dedicated to protecting the West’s native wildlife while KEEPING THE LOBO ALIVE PROTECTING preserving and restoring the healthy, functioning ecosystems they rely on for survival. After 20 years of reintroduction efforts spurred WILDLIFE by WELC legal advocacy, the Mexican wolf still needs much more help to recover in the wild deserts of Arizona and New Mexico. Today, there are less than 200 of these wolves roaming the Southwest. Yet the current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plan omits any criteria to address genetic diversity, human threats, and connectivity, the primary obstacles to recovery. We are in court to force the federal agency to put in place a recovery plan for the lobo that addresses all threats to this imperiled animal. Protecting Mexican gray wolves is a core component of our wildlife program and we remain committed to the lobo’s recovery.

2 3 > DEFENDING WILDLIFE STANDING BETWEEN WOLVERINES AND EXTINCTION We are fiercely dedicated to helping wolverines keep their foothold in the American West. GIVING WOLVERINES A FIGHTING PROTECTING THE SONORAN They’re emblematic of the West’s ruggedness, yet only 300 remain in the contiguous U.S. CHANCE AT RECOVERY DESERT TORTOISE Six years ago, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife In 2011, biologists discovered that the “desert Service denied wolverines endangered species tortoise” was actually two distinct species. The protections even though they number only 300 in newly identified Sonoran Desert tortoise only the lower 48 states, we knew the science didn’t occurs in one U.S. state: Arizona, and the only support the move. We went to court and won, scientific information we have about it is that its forcing the Service back to the drawing board on population is in decline. the animal’s protective status. In 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided Now, the Trump administration is planning to to deny protections to the tortoise. That decision again decline to provide wolverines much-needed was based on a lack of data, which is legally endangered species protections despite their indefensible. We brokered a deal in which the perilously small population and the direct threat government will study the Sonoran Desert tortoise of climate change to their wintry habitat. We and only then determine its endangered species will take the agency back to court to undo this status. In the interim, the tortoise will receive politically motivated decision. necessary “candidate species” federal protections.

PUGET SOUND REGION AND WATER Discharges of nutrient and toxic pollution from municipalities are the main causes of plunging water quality in Washington state’s Puget Sound. Yet, currently, none of the wastewater treatment facilities in the Puget Sound region are required to reduce the level of nutrient or toxics they discharge. WELC’s legal team is using a combination of litigation and legal advocacy to compel the Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology to comply with the Clean Water Act. We aim to put Washington state’s water regulatory program on a trajectory that will ensure a healthy Puget Sound that protects human health, salmon, orcas, and other wildlife.
