Unchecked extinction and unprotected wildlife mean losing more than just animals. We risk losing our greatest teachers, furry friends, and vital ties to the natural world—all within our lifetime.

However, through the Endangered Species Act and similar policies, we can ensure their safety.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit based in Tucson, Arizona, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature and its vast biodiversity. Through science, law, and creative media, we work to secure a future for all species on the brink of extinction, focusing on protecting the lands, waters, and climate for survival.

We envision a future where the wild endures. Visit biologicaldiversity.org to learn more and take action, including alerts at biologicaldiversity.org/action/alerts. Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. For questions or media inquiries, email center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Some native North American animals, though perhaps perceived as creepy, are undeniably cool and absolutely worth protecting. Their unique ecological roles are vital.

Defenders of Wildlife is dedicated to the protection and restoration of all native species across North America, ensuring even these often-misunderstood creatures thrive.

Witness the magnificent California condor in its natural habitat. As North America's largest land bird, it boasts an impressive 10-foot wingspan.

Watch it soar to heights of 15,000 feet, traveling up to 250 miles daily in search of its next meal.

Dr. Goodall, thank you for illuminating our understanding. Your insights highlight our profound responsibility to this world, our neighbors, and all life.

True care emerges only when we grasp this fundamental connection. It is our duty to protect and nurture our shared planet.

We all share a profound love for wildlife and our planet's wild places. These natural wonders are invaluable national treasures, essential for our future and the health of the global ecosystem.

Without collective action to protect them, these precious environments and the species they harbor face irreversible loss. It is imperative that we unite to safeguard them for generations to come.

The Center for Biological Diversity is actively fighting to save the Everglades from the destructive "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center. Join our upcoming webinar for an inside look at this critical legal battle, what lies ahead, and how your support drives this lifesaving campaign.

We might deny being obsessed with public lands, but if constant thought, deep love, advocacy, and spirited debate count, then perhaps we are. Aren't you, too?

Let's continue our fight to keep them public. Happy Public Lands Day!
