Anti-mining petition

WWF and a coalition of regional and national conservation groups is protecting the U.S. Southeast Rivers and Streams - home to the highest number of endemic freshwater fauna in North America. Along with our partners, we are urging federal agencies to fully and carefully assess the impacts of coal mining on the region's most vulnerable wildlife - as required by law. Read the joint press release and factsheet.

Conservation assesment

To help protect the rich biodiversity in the Tennessee, Cumberland and Mobile River Basins, WWF analyzed aquatic species and habitat information and identified 29 watersheds that are the highest priorities for protection. Read our report: A Vision for the Tennessee, Cumberland and Mobile Basins.
