PROTECTING KEYSTONE SPECIES: GIVEN THE INCREASED RISK TO SPECIES FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE CHART A COURSE FOR INCREASING PROTECTIONS, PREPARING FOR A FAVORABLE NATIONAL POLITICAL LANDSCAPE. TWO AREAS ARE PARTICULARLY KEY TO SPECIES SURVIVAL AND POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT IN STATES NOW. FIRST, WE ADVOCATE FOR LOCAL AND STATE POLICIES, CITY AND COUNTY RESOLUTIONS, AND STATE BILLS TO BUILD A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT IN SUPPORT OF CONNECTIVITY FOR PLANTS AND WILDLIFE. SECOND, WE WORK TO PROVIDE PROTECTIONS FOR POLLINATORS THROUGH POLICIES AND HANDS ON RESTORATION OF HABITAT.

That ratio is a good sign, not a scorecard. Plenty of great groups run leaner and lumpier. What matters is the extremes, and Endangered Species Coalition is nowhere near one.
