Areas of Work

PEER works with government scientists, law enforcement officers, land managers, attorneys, and other current and former public servants on federal, state, and local issues to confront some of the nation's most pressing environmental problems. 

 

	Climate Change Climate scientists and policy is under attack as the fossil fuel industry and their allies in government fight against efforts to transition to clean energy.
	Wildlife Protection Help public employees protect our wildlife - in many cases from the actions and neglect of public agencies.
	Public Lands America's commons are under assault from commercial pressures, the lack of funding and the complicity of officials who are supposed to be our custodians.
	Public Health To often, public agencies fail to protect the health of children, workers and the public from threats such as toxic chemicals, air pollution and dirty water.
	Whistleblowers/Integrity Conscientious public employees face adverse consequences for simply doing their job. When those moments of career crisis arise, PEER is there.
	Water & Wetlands The nation's waters and wetlands, which provide clean drinking water, flood control, and fish and wildlife habitat, are under dire threat from pollution and outright destruction.
	Eco-Enforcement Law enforcement in our land management and pollution control agencies are under attack.
