Why subscribe?

Because the West is under siege—and you deserve the truth.

Subscribe to Western Watersheds Project to stay informed about the battles that matter most: protecting public lands, defending wildlife, and exposing the industries that profit from ecological destruction. We don’t sugarcoat it. We challenge the status quo—whether it’s corrupt politicians, extractive industries, or federal agencies more loyal to ranchers than to the land they're supposed to steward.

WWP delivers hard-hitting analysis, breaking news on legal and legislative fights, and real opportunities to take action. If you care about wolves, wild horses, native fish, grizzlies, and the last intact ecosystems of the American West, this is where you plug in.

Our subscribers don’t just watch from the sidelines—they’re part of the resistance.

Defending the West takes more than passion—it takes support.

At Western Watersheds Project, we work every day to protect public lands, native wildlife, and the fragile ecosystems that make the West wild. That means watchdogging agencies, challenging bad decisions in court, pushing for stronger protections, and amplifying the truth when others stay quiet.

Your paid subscription helps us stay in the fight: funding legal work, policy advocacy, public education, and the tools we need to hold decision-makers accountable.

If you believe in protecting what’s left of the wild West, your support makes all the difference.
