Join us in Santa Fe for a powerful evening of connection, celebration, and action.

As threats to the wild intensify across the West, coming together has never been more important.

This year’s gala will highlight the collective impact of our community, honor hard-won victories, and look ahead at the work still to be done.

The evening will feature a special guest keynote speaker Dr. Emily Fairfax, alongside insights from WildEarth Guardians staff working to protect what we all love.

A leading voice in climate adaptation and coexistence, Dr. Fairfax combines rigorous scientific research with accessible storytelling to help people better understand the interconnectedness of healthy ecosystems, wildlife, and communities. Her work has been featured in national media outlets and has inspired growing interest in nature-based solutions to the climate crisis.
