At a 2023 hearing, Rep. Ralph Norman cheered bat extinction, despite over 6 million northern long-eared bats dying since 2006 from white-nose syndrome. This epidemic, the worst wildlife disease outbreak in North American history, currently has no cure.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature's vast diversity. We work through science, law, and creative media to protect species on the brink of extinction, ensuring a future where the wild thrives.

This September, join us in celebrating charity: water's sixth birthday by addressing Rwanda's water crisis. Despite rebuilding their nation, women and children still walk for hours daily to collect dirty water. The people of Rwanda are working to provide clean, safe water for everyone. You can help; learn more at charitywater.org/september.

TalkingStickTV presented a panel discussion titled "Community Organizing: Stories From Local Groups." This event was part of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability's "Celebrating 25 Years of Success" conference, recorded on September 22, 2012, at the Good Shepard Center in Seattle, WA.

Speakers included Ralph Hutchison (Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance), Lisa Crawford (Fernald Residents for Environmental Safety and Health - FRESH), Marylia Kelley (Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environment), Pamela Kingfisher (Native Americans for a Clean Environment), Natalia Mironova (Russian Movement for Nuclear Safety), and Bob Schaeffer (Public Policy Communications).

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.
