2010 Annual Report - The Sierra Club Foundation

Resilient R Habitats
Sierra Si Student Coalition
Oi
Whether working to get species listed as
endangered, or protecting their habitat, the
Sierra Club works all over the country on
behalf of wilderness and wildlife, especially
as climate change shifts habitat ranges. In
2010, the Club helped to designate thousands
of river miles and acres of lakes for the bull
trout, promoted climate-smart management
of forested lands in Maine, and expanded a
critical habitat for Canada lynx in the Rockies.
Bull Trout: Idaho, Oregon, Washington
(including 754 miles of marine shoreline),
Montana, and Nevada
Moose, Bald Eagle: Maine
Lynx: Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Idaho,
and Montana
Present on 63 campuses, the Sierra Student Coalition
(SSC) works to transition universities powered by
coal to cleaner energy sources. By empowering more
than 75,000 young leaders, the SSC has pushed 10
campuses to move beyond coal by 2020.
University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, NC)
Binghamton (upstate NY)
University of Illinois at Ubana-Champaign
University of Louisville (KY)
Case Western Reserve University
(Cleveland, OH)
Western Kentucky University
(Bowling Green, KY)
Missouri University of Science & Technology
(Rolla, MO)
Penn State University (University Park, PA)
Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN)

There are 31 additional campuses that SSC will be
pushing for this year.

Oil Leasing Stopped / Wilderness
Protected
As a result of work with Alaska Natives
and the Arctic Activist Network,
170,000 acres of critical habitat and
buffer zones near Lake Teshekpuk,
located in the Western Arctic Reserve,
are protected from oil and gas
development. Also, 44,000 acres of the
Wyoming Range will be off limits to oil
and gas drilling thanks to our efforts
with a coalition. This area is inhabited
by moose, elk, and the threatened
Canada lynx.
Coal C Ash Hearings
More than 2,000 Sierra Club
volunteers, organizers, and
supporters attended eight
hearings across the nation to
show support for strong federal
safeguards against toxic coal ash.
More than 10,000 comments
were sent to the EPA via email
and postcards demanding
enforceable safeguards.
