Meanwhile in Florida

Witness candid, close-up footage of Florida's diverse wildlife.

Observe panthers, black bears, alligators, and more in their natural habitats along waterways and deep within the state's forests.

Victories in Alaska

We're thrilled to share our recent victories protecting polar bears, beluga whales, caribou, and migratory birds.

Kristen Monsell, Senior Attorney and Litigation Director for our Oceans program, will provide an update on these successes and discuss other vital efforts to safeguard the Arctic and Alaska's wildlife.

Remembering Lost Species

Join our Remembrance Day for Lost Species SLOE webinar. We will honor the 23 species recently declared extinct and commit to preventing further losses.

The webinar features Executive Director Kierán Suckling, Senior Scientist Tierra Curry, and award-winning author Lydia Millet, who will read from her new work.

RAISE YOUR VOICE FOR WOLVES

Wolves face severe threats nationwide. States like Idaho, Montana, and Wisconsin have authorized or seen the killing of a large percentage of their wolf populations, including over 200 wolves in Wisconsin in just 60 hours.

We must end these senseless killings. Join Jason Momoa, Leonardo DiCaprio, and thousands more in the #RelistWolves effort. Raise your voice by sharing this video and visiting RelistWolves.org or SaveOurWolves.org.

Wildlife and City Lights

Los Angeles is the world's only megacity where mountain lions and humans coexist. This unique proximity underscores a critical conservation challenge.

A proposed city wildlife ordinance is vital. It addresses habitat destruction and fragmentation, protecting not only cougars but numerous other species facing similar threats.

People vs. Fossil Fuels: Washington, D.C., Oct. 11-15

Our elected officials have failed to halt fossil fuel projects, exacerbating the climate emergency. We must demand real climate leadership to protect communities and wildlife.

Join community leaders at the White House from October 11-15 for the "People vs. Fossil Fuels" protests. We will demand President Biden reject new fossil fuel projects, declare a climate emergency, and launch a just, renewable energy revolution. Consider participating in nonviolent civil disobedience.

Borderlands Mama and Baby Bear

A mama bear and her adorable cub enjoyed a warm day at a pool in a canyon near the U.S.-Mexico border. The little one appeared to be just learning to walk.

This cub will mature in a land of vast, rugged wilderness, yet one also marked by complex human politics.

Leaping Lynx

Observe a lynx as it leaps over a beaver dam within Alaska's Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. These remarkable felines possess an impressive jumping ability, capable of clearing over 20 feet from a crouched stance.

Their long, powerful hind legs are a key evolutionary adaptation. This specialized anatomy allows them to effectively ambush prey, particularly when navigating and hunting in deep snow environments.

Mama Coati and Coati Kittens

A remote camera captured a mama coati and her six kittens roaming a mountain range along the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.

These mountains, known as the Sky Islands Archipelago, are a world-class biodiversity hotspot, and clearly, a hotspot for cuteness too. #BorderViews

Curious California Puma

Los Angeles is one of only two megacities globally where big cats, specifically mountain lions, live within city limits; Mumbai is the other. These mountain lions inhabit the Santa Monica Mountains, just north of the city, including the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

A new report highlights the critical importance of wildlife crossings. These crossings enable Southern California mountain lions to navigate fragmented landscapes safely and significantly reduce the risk of vehicle collisions. Learn more about this vital conservation effort.

Exxon's Dangerous Oil Trucking Route

A data visualization highlights trucking accidents, deaths, and injuries on a hazardous California route. This route is where ExxonMobil plans to truck offshore oil to market. Data is based on CHP records from 2015-2021.

This Beetle Walks on Water ... Upside-Down

Scientists in Australia have captured novel footage of an unidentified beetle in an ephemeral pool. This unique insect walks upside-down on the underside of the water's surface.

The video offers a fascinating new perspective, seemingly turning the aquatic world on its head.

President Biden: Clean Cars Now

Our country faces a climate emergency, marked by deadly heatwaves, droughts, and extreme storms. This crisis is largely driven by pollution from fossil fuel transportation.

President Biden must set ambitious clean car standards strong enough to protect our climate. However, big auto companies are pushing for loophole-riddled rules, weaker than those agreed to in 2012.

Join us to urge Biden to stand up to automakers and adopt the world's strongest clean car standards: www.CleanCarsNow.org

Biden, Keep Your Promise (45 seconds)

President Biden must fulfill his promise to ban new federal fossil fuel leasing. This crucial step is essential to protect our climate, lands, oceans, and communities from further harm.

The pollution from existing oil and gas fields already threatens to push global warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. We cannot afford any new leasing, making public lands and waters the ideal place for the President to take immediate, bold action against fossil fuel expansion.

Biden, Keep Your Promise (120 seconds)

President Biden must fulfill his promise to ban new federal fossil fuel leasing. This action is crucial for protecting our climate, lands, oceans, and communities from further harm.

Pollution from existing oil and gas fields alone, if fully developed, risks pushing global warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. We cannot afford any new leasing. Public lands and waters offer the natural and immediate opportunity for President Biden to take bold action and end fossil fuel expansion.

Saving Life on Earth: Help Save Gray Wolves

After the Trump administration stripped federal protections from gray wolves, states now control their fate. While California and Colorado celebrate new wolf residents, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Montana are increasing wolf culling.

Our "Saving Life on Earth" webinar on July 8, 2021, featured our experts discussing ongoing efforts to regain wolf protections and how you can help. Learn more at saveourwolves.org.
