Dr. Justin O. Schmidt, a renowned entomologist and ally of the Center for Biological Diversity, famously endured approximately 1,000 insect stings to create his unique Pain Index. This index comically rated and described the intensity of stings, from the "light, ephemeral" sweat bee to the "pure, intense" bullet ant. Dr. Schmidt passed away on February 18, 2023, at 75.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to protecting all species and their habitats. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity, working through science, law, and creative media to secure a wild future for generations to come.

As a Federal Court ruling nears on January 5th, opponents warn the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Nevada is already damaging sacred sites. Lithium Nevada Corporation has begun digging test pits and installing infrastructure where Native Americans conduct ceremonies. Tribes argue this violates permit agreements, contending new authorizations terminated older ones, with attorney Will Falk suggesting the company is "lying to get a headstart" with BLM's approval.

Thacker Pass, or Peehee Mu'huh, is a sacred site for regional tribes, used for ceremonies, gathering, and as a massacre site. Tribal leaders emphasize their responsibility to protect these places, asserting the mine violates religious freedoms and consultation rights. The January 5th hearing is the final oral argument in lawsuits. Support protection efforts: https://givebutter.com/protectthackerpass. Learn more: https://ProtectThackerPass.org.
