The Wild Caucus espouses not merely concern for the environment from a Libertarian perspective, but it also represents what its founder calls a general "Naturalist variant of Libertarianism", with heavy influence from Transcendentalist thinkers like Henry David Thoreau.

===Organizational Structure=== | |||
The [[Wild Caucus Organizational Structure]] is quite simple. The Platform of the caucus is set in stone, so the duties of leadership within the organization are restricted to that of executives. This means that all caucus leaders merely focus on orchestrating the group's activities and not on platform or bylaws issues. | |||
The Caucus has a Chair, Vice Chair, and six Regional Overseers. Regional Overseers can form whatever lower executive systems they so choose, in line with what's necessary for running the caucus in their respective district. Most leaders in the Caucus are first appointed formally by the Vice Chair, and thereafter they are elected by the caucus' membership. | |||
