A last couple for my DC locals that I found on www.cfp-dc.org/cfpdc/nonpro... (an organization that evaluates local DC charities too small to make it to the big charity ratings sites):
City Wildlife: citywildlife.org/donate/ a local animal rehabilitation center in DC

They have a whole host of other programs if you're more interested in helping to protect another part of the world or a particular animal as well! (Malaysian tigers have a 2x match right now, 3x matches for programs in Liberia and South Sudan, a 2x match for a wildlife cooridor in Mexico)

to achieve that in--potentially just this presidential term--and that the bureaucratic process of designating that land as protected can take years

Right now they have a 4x match on their Brazillion Rainforest program which is aiming to protect 20 million acres of undisturbed rainforest. They point out that with the current Brazilian president, there is a real chance to designate government land as protected but we have a very short window

here is a link directly to their donation form because it was SO HARD to find this year (I think they broke their regular donation link while trying to set up something fancy for earth month) secure.givelively.org/donate/amazo...

They do the only thing multinationals really fear: sue.
Honestly, they do a lot of really great work that is simply not possible any other way.

That you really NEED some people whose entire specialty is negotiating that morass. Enter CIEL, more or less. They protect the indigenous communities targetted by national interests for 'standing in the way' of environmental destruction. They get the legislation passed.

Next is Ciel www.ciel.org the Center for International Environmental Law. This organization really makes a huge difference because so much about protecting the environment and any hope of reversing global climate change is swathed in yards of red tape and bureaucratic hurdles and commerical interest

First, I'll start with Wild Earth Allies wildearthallies.org that work in collaboration with local communities and organizations to preserve the natural environment. They both work with indigenous communities to preserve existing cultural practice as well help ensure communities aren't put into

One of the things about islands is that by virtual of that separation from a mainland, you often find entirely unique species there. You also frequently find species that have gone extinct everywhere else, and this small pocket of an island has kept the flora and fauna safe (usually from us)

Meanwhile, seagrass captures carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests, accounting for 10-18% of world carbon storage desipte covering less than .1% of the seafloor

And inland wetlands may sequester as much as 10 times MORE carbon than coastal wetlands (and we've destroyed so many inland wetlands especially)
it's already common knowledge how essential rainforests are--this isn't detracting from that. it's just showing how important wetlands actually are

I know so far it's been a lot of wetlands but that's because wetlands are so essential to the health of the planet. Mangroves and coastal wetlands store 3 to 5 times more carbon per equivalent area of tropical rainforest, and they store it at a rate 10 times greater than mature tropical rainforest

I love Seacology's work www.seacology.org to help preserve fragile island habitats. They have over 400 programs in 68 countries protecting over a million acres of habitate because they partner with local organizations to protect local habitats from destruction.

They partner with local landowners and conservationists to put aside land that would otherwise be torn out for agricultural use and keep it wild, helping to build up the local economy on conservation instead. (They also have some parks you can visit if you're ever in their areas!)
