Organizations that must band together and form a proactive agenda toward protecting and preserving Wisconsin's environment

This is a preliminary list of organizations we feel must immediately begin banding together to take a proactive stance on collectively guarding Wisconsin's environmental legacy against a war that will soon be waged against the protection and preservation our natural resources.

Part of our proactive stance toward protecting Wisconsin's environmental legacy is to ensure there are open and transparent channels of communications between these organizations, so that when the time comes, and they will be able to work together more efficiently, and act as a collective whole with a unified voice, rather than isolated and individual.    

While there may be differences in the individual policies and goals of these organizations, they are all facing the same direction, and their collective strength is far greater than any of them could ever be on their own.  Their cooperation and collaboration could be the only way we can effectively defeat the coming attacks on Wisconsin's environment.  We must be proactive in establishing as many open and effective channels of communications and both formal and informal relationships and alliances between these organizations if we hope to protect and preserve Wisconsin's environmental legacy.
