Protecting Maine's Environment Through Political Action
Maine is special.
It is a uniquely beautiful place, defined by its natural features: the vast north woods, remote ponds and lakes, rugged coast and coastal islands.
Our natural world provides our livelihood, our recreation, our sense of who we are. Maine people love and want to protect its clean air, clean water, and unspoiled wilderness.
But it is changing.
The Maine we love is threatened by unchecked development eating away at our open spaces and closing off access to places we have always enjoyed; by pollution like dioxin and mercury in our water and wildlife; by air pollution that harms our health and obscures our views.
We need leadership.
We need strong political leaders who know that a healthy economy depends on a healthy environment. The Maine League of Conservation Voters tracks the voting records of legislators, so their constituents know where they stand on key natural resources issues. We endorse candidates and work to elect leaders who will protect our health, open spaces, and quality of life.

Land Conservation:
According to the NOAA, Maine lost approximately 20% of its estimated original wetlands base by the mid-1980s. The Clean Water Act and Natural Resources Protection Act have resulted in a decrease of the state's wetland loss rate, but wetlands in Maine are still being lost to development. Strong wetland protection is needed to protect Maine's fisheries, an industry that contributes substantially to the state's economy.
