The National Wildlife Federation has nine regional offices:
Alaska Natural Resource Center
Alaska is a place of enormous natural beauty and unequaled wildness. Vast and pristine, Alaska contains 85 percent of America's national wildlife refuge lands, 70 percent of its national parklands, 63 percent of its wetlands, the loftiest mountain in North America, and more coastline than the Lower 48 states combined. In Alaska, great herds of caribou still follow ancient migration paths, bears grow to be 10 feet tall, and wild salmon spawn and die in glacier-fed rivers as they have for thousands of years. National Wildlife Federation's Alaska Natural Resource Center is committed to protecting Alaska's wildlife and wild places for our children and grandchildren. Working in partnership with concerned citizens, grassroots groups, and communities, we work to find responsible, long-term solutions to environmental problems while building a broader, more diverse statewide constituency for conservation. We also offer the innovative program Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, designed to help youth become stronger, more effective environmental leaders.

Great Lakes Natural Resource Center
This center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, unites people throughout the eight-state Great Lakes region, the U.S. and Canada to protect the world's greatest freshwater seas, the surrounding ecosystem, and the benefits they provide to people and wildlife. With 20 percent of the Earth's fresh surface water, the Great Lakes are of global importance. Our well-being, quality of life and economic future depend on the health of these freshwater seas. The Great Lakes have been used as a garbage dump, polluted by toxic chemicals from industry, agriculture and sprawl. Many plants, animals, and wild places have been damaged. We have scientists, lawyers, organizers and educators all contributing their skills. Our staff educate, inspire and assist people to stop the toxic pollution and habitat destruction in the lakes. With your help, we can keep the Great Lakes great. We also have internship opportunities for law students to experience environmental law firsthand.

Northern Rockies Natural Resource Center
The fish and wildlife resources of the northern Rockies are a national treasure. The Northern Rockies office unites people throughout Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho to protect and enhance the region's fish and wildlife populations and the habitat upon which they depend. We work in partnership with our state affiliates, concerned citizens, and other grassroots groups to advocate for endangered species and balanced public land management policies, and to build the public awareness and understanding needed to make sound decisions on wildlife and natural resources.

Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Center
Located in Boulder, Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Center is at the forefront of NWF's efforts to preserve and protect wildlife on public lands. Our staff, which includes scientists, attorneys, policy specialists and educators, works to safeguard and strengthen protection for the wildlife and wild places of the American West. Our other goals are: to protect and restore wildlife habitat on tribal lands and empower America's first land stewards; to strengthen protection for critical migratory bird habitat along the Central Platte River; to provide training and resources to classroom educators and homeowners on the importance of providing wildlife habitat in their own backyards; and to promote environmental education in the broader community. Whenever issues impact the wildlife and wild places of the West and the Great Plains regions, the we will work to find a sound, common-sense solution that represents the voices and views of NWF's members and supporters and that benefits both wildlife and the land.

Southeast Natural Resource Center
The ecosystems of the Southeastern United States extend from coastal plain estuaries and the Everglades to the boreal forests of the Appalachian highlands. The geography and climate create the most biologically diverse region in the continental United States. Public lands such as the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, endangered species such as the Florida Panther, and numerous freshwater streams are threatened by the fastest pace of sprawl development in the nation. The Southeast Natural Resource Center is working with NWF affiliates and other organizations to conserve these public resources for future generations. We are also working with diverse groups of students and other residents of the region to build understanding of the connections between communities and wildlife and to develop leadership skills necessary for taking personal stewardship responsibility.

Office of Federal and International Affairs
This office is located a few blocks from the White House. Staffed by some forty people experienced on policy issues, grassroots outreach, law, government affairs, and media, the field office advances NWF's national and international agenda to safeguard wildlife and wild places. The office's role is to educate, mobilize, and advocate to preserve and strengthen protection for wildlife and wild places. We link the back yard, the school room, the work place, and the town hall with the board room, the halls of Congress, the courtroom, and the international conference. Wherever decisions are made at the federal and international level, a high value is placed on preservation of wildlife and wild places. The voice of NWF members and the broader public is heard on behalf of the environment.

Western Natural Resource Center
The landscapes along the Pacific Coast are among the most diverse in the country. From the desert to the coastal rainforests, and from Puget Sound to the "gems of the Pacific," the wildlife species that depend on these habitats in Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii are also diverse and among the most treasured by people throughout the world. NWF works hard to protect these habitats for the benefit of all wildlife and people--focusing especially on the protection and restoration of threatened and endangered species such as salmon. Climate change is expected to take a large toll on wildlife in the region, and NWF is working to help people understand and minimize the impacts.
