The Endangered Species Coalition is a national network of over 400 conservation, scientific, education, religious, sporting, outdoor recreation, business and community organizations working to protect our nation‚ disappearing wildlife and last remaining wild places. Through education, outreach and citizen involvement, the Coalition works to protect endangered species and the special places where they live. 

Started in 1986, the Endangered Species Coalition was created to act as a rapid mobilization for the conservation community to quickly stop Congressional and Administrative attacks on the Endangered Species Act.

Building the Coalition with DemocracyInAction
The Endangered Species Coalition constantly strives to build and strengthen the coalition to engage more people and organizations in their work to protect endangered species. In 2009, the organization turned to DemocracyinAction to help grow their list and mobilize their supporters. With the tools and support of DemocracyInAction, the Endangered Species Coalition implemented a new action alert system. This greatly increased the ability of their members to take action, including:

• Over 34,000 people signed a petition to President Obama to strengthen Endangered Species Act regulations
• Approximately 1,000 letters to the President and Members of Congress on protecting wildlife and wild places from climate change

The Endangered Species Coalition was able to grow their organization significantly, including:

• Added 30 new coalition membership for a total of 430 organizations
• Doubled activist email list
• Tripled online giving
• Doubled individual giving
