Conservation Colorado

Conservation Colorado represents the next chapter in protecting Colorado's environment. Forged from the history and accomplishments of the Colorado Environmental Coalition and Colorado Conservation Voters – Conservation Colorado is a grassroots statewide organization working to protect Colorado's air, land, water, and people. We have a long and successful history in Colorado of collaborating on the key environmental issues of the day, working collectively at the State Capitol, and establishing strategic partnerships to find success on a variety of levels, including: —Ensuring that more than three million acres of wilderness will stay forever wild. —Setting a statewide renewable energy standard, then increasing it to 30% and making it one of the strongest in the nation. —Working to minimize impacts from oil and gas drilling by updating public health, drinking water and wildlife protections in 2008 and continuing to push for further reforms. —Passing more than 130 different conservation bills at the state legislature in the past six years on a host of environmental issues ranging from water efficiency to air quality to energy efficiency to transit. —Electing pro-conservation candidates and holding our elected officials accountable in the State Legislature, Governor's Office, and local government councils and commissions. For Conservation Colorado – as we recognize our past accomplishments – we move forward, knowing that The Future is Worth the Fight. Our logo represents our priority issues – addressing climate change, transitioning to a clean energy future, protecting our rivers and outdoor heritage, and saving our few remaining public wildlands. These pressing priorities require us to engage Colorado citizens and policy makers in new ways to preserve the Colorado we love today for future generations.
