Conserving Nature, Empowering Communities: Celebrating Latino Conservation Week in the National Wildlife Refuge System

Conserving Nature, Empowering Communities: Celebrating Latino Conservation Week in the National Wildlife Refuge System

As we embrace the spirit of Latino Conservation Week, we come together to honor and pay homage to the invaluable contributions made by the Latino community in our shared endeavor to conserve and protect wildlife and wild lands across the country. This year, we proudly support the congressional resolution proposing the official designation of the third week of July as Latino Conservation Week, introduced by Representative Nanette Barragรกn (D-CA) this week. Through this symbolic gesture, we signal our commitment to fostering sustainability, promoting inclusivity, and safeguarding the future of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
