Why Conservation in Minnesota Matters
As our state grows, remaining natural places are under threat. Already in Minnesota:
56%
of Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, and streams do not meet current water quality standards as of 2022.
50%
of wetlands have been lost, leading to poor water quality, increased flooding, and decreased wildlife habitat.
99%
of native prairies have been lost due to agriculture & development — prairies are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world.
44%
of forests have been lost, habitat that 80% of land-dwelling species rely on and that is critical for clean, cold water & carbon storage.
That’s why the Minnesota Land Trust works to protect and restore the natural places we all cherish and engage the next generation in the outdoors. Learn more about how we’re having an impact together.
