1% for Wildlife is a bill that offers a massive opportunity for wildlife conservation. It increases the tourism tax by 1.25%, and uses the funds to protect Oregon’s wildlife and their habitat. Currently, Oregon has no dedicated funding source for wildlife conservation, and 1% for Wildlife would fix that. Species like the Tufted Puffin, Grey Whale, and Chinook Salmon would all directly benefit from this bill.

You’ll hear from Bird Alliance of Oregon staff: Joe Liebezeit, Statewide Conservation Director, Karly Chin, Advocacy Program Coordinator, Travis Koons, Wildlife Care Center Director, and Brodie Cass Talbott, Adult Engagement Manager – Statewide.
