Tell Governor Kotek: Support 1% for Wildlife

The problem: Oregon has chronically underfunded wildlife conservation and habitat restoration. The updated State Wildlife Action Plan now identifies over 300 at-risk species—a sharp increase showing escalating threats to our wildlife. Each year, the legislature allocates general funds elsewhere, leaving wildlife protection underfunded. With the Trump Administration cutting federal conservation programs, the funding crisis has intensified.

The solution: 1% for Wildlife, legislation planned for the 2026 session, would create stable, ongoing funding for wildlife habitat protection and species recovery. Raising Oregon's tourism tax from 1.5% to 2.75% would provide dedicated resources to protect threatened wildlife and fish, preserve critical habitats, and strengthen ecosystems against biodiversity loss and climate change.

Thank you for backing 1% for Wildlife!
