Meet Prairie Protection Colorado
Who We Are
Our Vision
Your Vital Role
Prairie Protection Colorado aims to advocate for prairie dogs and maintain healthy prairie ecosystems by raising awareness about the widespread extermination of prairie dog colonies along the Front Range.
Our organization distinguishes itself through a grassroots approach, emphasizing fundamental analysis of prairie health. We organize local efforts and collaborate with various stakeholders, including local governments, media outlets, and legal avenues, to protect the remaining prairie dog colonies and the ecosystems they support across Colorado’s Front Range communities.
Prairie Protection Colorado was started by grassroots activists and members of Deep Green Resistance who refused to stand by while they witnessed the continued annihilation of prairie dogs up and down the Front Range.
Our non-profit organization advocates for prairie dogs by drawing attention to the mass exterminations of prairie dog colonies through organizing and resisting the destruction of these last remaining prairie communities.
PPC organizes on the ground and works with grassroots advocates, local governments, the media and legal channels to cast a web of protection over the last remaining prairie dog colonies throughout Colorado’s Front Range communities.
Prairies are the lifeblood of diverse ecosystems, providing a sanctuary for wildlife, and ensuring clean air and water for all. Your support has already achieved incredible victories, including saving the Naropa Prairie dog colony in 2015, the Comcast Prairie dog colony in 2020 and the Centennial Prairie dog colony in 2023, all are moments that proved the power of collective action.
Each donation, signature, and volunteer effort directly contributes to preserving habitats, protecting wildlife, and advocating for the future of these essential landscapes. By joining us, you become a vital protector of prairies and the creatures who depend on them. Together, we ensure these vital ecosystems thrive for generations to come. Thank you for making a difference.
