May be obvious.. but try here http://www.nwf.org/

And if there doesn't answer your question give them a call. Nothing better then first hand information.

Here is their action list: http://www.nwf.org/action/ They believe in Global Warming, they support the endangered species act - read more to see where you align or don't.

Here's some links to the way they have gone over the years. I consider them an eco-nazi organization, so do many others.

That is the info I need. Their website does not have the specific agenda and programs.

WWF - World Wildlife Fund focuses on world-wide issues.

NWF - National Wildlife Federation has a primary focus on US issues.

So I still say if you want the stright scoop... if their website doesn't have it, pick up the phone and call them. Ask them directly where they stand on the issues you are concerned about.

They will not give the straight scoop such as their latest "study" showing that hunters and fisherman have bought into the global warming bs and they come off as being on the hunters side.

Quote:
According to the survey:



Eighty percent of sportsmen believe the United States should be a world leader in addressing global warming.


Eighty-six percent of hunters and anglers agree that the federal government should provide incentives for industries to replace some energy from oil, gas and coal with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power;


Eighty-four percent support federal incentives for companies that develop new energy efficient technologies that reduce global warming;


Eighty-seven percent support federal incentives that make energy conservation technologies more affordable for citizens;


Only 15 percent think drilling for more oil and gas in the U.S., including on public lands, is the best way to address America's energy needs.

^Its real easy to "spin" statistics... ^

Off the cuff I'll bet that the polll was given to members only looking at how slanted the data in comparison to other polls I've seen from TU and elsewhere.
