You are Giving Hope to an Entire Species

Fewer than 20 red wolves remain in the wild, with vehicle strikes posing their greatest threat.

Through collaborative efforts, a $25 million federal grant has been secured. This funding will enable the construction of wildlife crossings, safeguarding red wolves and many other species.

You Raised $2,000,000 for Red Wolves!

Fewer than 20 red wolves remain in the wild, with vehicle strikes posing their most significant threat. To address this critical issue, we helped secure a $25 million federal grant.

Shirleen's Epic Ocean Journey

Shirleen, a 900-pound leatherback sea turtle, swam nearly 58,000 miles in 907 days, despite threats like vessel strikes, habitat loss, and deadly fishing gear. Her journey, tracked by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, provides vital insight into endangered leatherback movements.

Border Wall Blasts

Despite a previously unknown jaguar sighting in southern Arizona, border-wall construction crews recently detonated explosions in Coronado National Memorial. This destruction impacts federally protected critical jaguar habitat, along with threatened Mexican spotted owls and the endangered beardless chinchweed flower.

Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity, who filmed the destruction, stated the wall "will fracture jaguar migration routes, choke genetic diversity, and wipe out natural connections." The administration waived environmental laws to accelerate this work, setting the stage for "long-term ecological collapse."

Help us fight this unlawful investigation against the Center

Far-right Republicans have launched another congressional "investigation" targeting the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). CBD condemns this as a fraudulent abuse of power, designed to intimidate opponents. However, CBD remains unintimidated and is prepared to fight back aggressively.

CBD's Executive Director immediately called for Congress to investigate a real scandal: a Chilean billionaire and his mining company spent millions influencing Trump officials to reverse protections for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. This mine threatens endangered species and public lands. Suckling offered to testify publicly about these shady dealings, including corporate donations to the "investigators." CBD is committed to protecting wildlife and public resources.

Q&A with Jeff Corwin

@wildcorwin offers insights into vital conservation efforts. Time-tested and bipartisan policies like the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act have successfully recovered beloved animals, including condors, whales, and bald eagles.

Our country's wild legacy is one of protection, not destruction. Recognizing this history helps us remember the wild spirit within ourselves.

We Love Iconic Animals #wildlife #conservation

We can’t imagine Yellowstone without wolves, the Everglades without alligators, or the U.S. without bald eagles. A world without wildlife is unthinkable.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has protected these iconic species and many others. Its continued success relies on our commitment to protect it.

The Art of Noticing #fall #wildlife #outside

Tiny worlds and lives exist all around you—at your feet, in the air, and in your backyard. Moving too quickly means you might miss them.

Beyond just smelling the roses, practice the art of noticing. Listen to the birds, observe the deer, and truly see the subtle beauty of your surroundings.

A World Without Wildlife #conservation

We all share a common goal: to protect iconic wildlife like bald eagles, wolves, and sea otters. We also strive for clean land, air, and water, ensuring ecosystems remain strong and stable.

That's why we consistently advocate for wildlife protection, working to preserve these vital natural resources for everyone.
