Protect vulnerable wetlands

Protect vulnerable wetlands

Recent Supreme Court decisions stripped crucial clean water and habitat protections from Illinois’ wetlands, leaving them vulnerable to development and serving as dumping grounds for polluting industries. Without immediate action, we risk losing these vital ecosystems that:

  • Filter out pollution
  • prevent flooding
  • Support diverse plant and animal species like beaver, herons, foxes, and fish
Tell your state legislators to swiftly pass SB0771 and HB5386 and restore protections our wetlands urgently need. Your voice can safeguard Illinois’ waterways and preserve the beauty and critical community benefits of our wetlands.
