Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP)

The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (trcp) works to guarantee all americans quality places to hunt and fish. Founded in 2002, the trcp is the largest coalition of Conservation organizations in the country, uniting and amplifying the voices of sportsmen and sportswomen by convening hunting and fishing groups, Conservation organizations, and outdoor businesses to a common purpose. Today, the organization's partner network includes over 100 nonprofits and businesses, and more than 140,000 individual members, all united around the Conservation legacy of former-president Theodore Roosevelt.

In pursuit of its work, the trcp has earned a strong reputation for providing nonpartisan policy advocacy in Washington d.c. and across the nation to strengthen broad-based Conservation efforts, protect wildlife and fish habitat, and ensure public access to the nation's lands and waters. The trcp has five policy centers: public lands, private lands, marine fisheries, climate, and water resources. Priorities for each policy center are as follows: public lands: defend and promote federal land management strategies that protect important habitat. Promote tools for balancing energy development on public lands with fish and wildlife needs. Defend public lands from sale or transfer of management authority to the states. Promote access to hunting and fishing opportunities. Private lands: advocate for maintaining or increasing Conservation programs in the farm bill and improve working lands programs. Marine fisheries: improve federal recreational fisheries management to strengthen Conservation, access, and local economies. Strengthen consensus between the environmental and recreational fishing communities. Pursue place-based fisheries restoration in the gulf of mexico and the everglades. Climate: advocate for habitat-driven, nature-based solutions for climate change in federal policy. Identify and remove barriers to the adoption of climate-smart practices. Build incentives and tools for farmers, foresters, and ranchers to benefit their land, wildlife, and climate. Improve policies to address climate change impacts and plan for the future of hunting and fishing. Water resources: defend and maintain federal protections for streams and wetlands, promote drought resiliency, and advance natural infrastructure solutions.
