A United Commitment to Conservation

The North American Lead-Free Partnership is built on a foundation of voluntary, science-based, hunter-led conservation, and we’re not doing it alone. Across North America, organizations are stepping up to sign our resolution and support the mission to reduce lead exposure in wildlife while protecting the future of hunting.

From wildlife agencies and land trusts to outdoor brands, educators, and hunter-conservation groups, our partners recognize that conservation works best when it’s collaborative. These organizations are leading by example: helping hunters and anglers adopt lead-free ammunition and tackle; and championing education, accessibility, and ecosystem health.

What It Means to Sign the Resolution:

  • Affirm support for voluntary, non-regulatory efforts to reduce wildlife lead exposure

  • Champion education and outreach to empower hunting and hunter-led change

  • Promote access to effective, affordable lead-free hunting ammunition choices

  • Join a community of agencies, businesses, and conservation leaders

  • Help protect our wildlife conservation and hunting heritage
