Someone tell Trump and DeSantis that there are still laws.

We must put a stop to the massive immigration detention center, cruelly named "Alligator Alcatraz," in the heart of the Everglades. Please join us now in fighting against this harmful development ➡️ biodiv.us/3Gwiqqo

Trump thought he could open up a national monument to commercial fishing without a fight? Think again, bub. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Entering the 'masked police' phase of this bullshit I see. www.kuow.org/stories/ice-...

"This is a vision of America's future that has hardly a word to say about forests, oceans, fresh water, ecosystems, or wild animals—about anything that isn't made by and for humans." An Abundance Of Concrete - defector.com/an-abundance...

"Despite a loud minority of voices calling for wolves to be killed, to return to last century’s status quo, most ranchers understand that people can coexist with this long-missing, ecologically-valuable native species." www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

Trump is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act. This morning, rules were proposed to make it legal for companies to wipe out the places where endangered plants and animals live, without consequence. If they're allowed to stand, any shitty company can make a buck driving wildlife extinct.

Who could have known that an administration filled with braindead white nationalists and failed social media influencers would be so cruel and turbulent?

#Republicans are trying to sell off public lands and degrade our National Parks. Why? Because they want to extend #Trump 1.0's tax cuts for billionaires. If you're tired of this garbage, join us this Saturday, April 5, across the country. 👀🫵🛣️ handsoff2025.com?utm_source=c...

Happening NOW: our @biologicaldiversity.org Climate team is testifying in support of California SB 684, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act 🌟 Watch live: www.senate.ca.gov/media-live-e... bill by @dawnaddis.bsky.social & Sen. Menjivar

The illegal killing of the Metolius wolf father in Oregon may condemn the pups to starvation. Killing federally protected wolves, esp. pack leaders/experienced hunters, has no justification. It can *create* not resolve conflicts with livestock - easier prey for desperate pups. biodiv.us/4iLKRhF

From state legislatures to community groups, from tribal lands to city parks to postage-stamp backyards, people are doing quiet, vital work to confront climate change and biodiversity loss. All year, @carabuckley.bsky.social and I will be writing about these efforts. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

@biologicaldiversity.org sued the Trump admin today for delaying protections for two highly imperiled California salamanders. Neither species have lungs and instead breathe through their skin. How cool is that? Who couldn't love these little guys? biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

The AP has no corporate owner and no shareholders. If we don’t step up to defend Americans’ right to speak freely, who will? Today the U.S. government wants to control the AP’s speech. Tomorrow it could be someone else’s.    www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

The Trump administration is moving at breakneck speed to destroy so many things. Here at the Center we're fighting back, but it'll take all of us to stop this bullshit for good. See you in the streets. For info & actions near you:👇👇👇 handsoff2025.com

“Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats who voted for the Republican bill should pack up and go home for the next two years, as they’ve just handed Musk and Trump free rein to destroy our environmental agencies and gut the civil service,” said @bretthartl.bsky.social

“It basically means that the Fish and Wildlife Service won’t take enforcement action against any private party that unintentionally kills migratory birds,” said Tara Zuardo, senior advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “It’s devastating.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

Monarchs are doing better than last year which is good. But they're way below sustainable thresholds. The Fish and Wildlife Service rightfully promised these butterflies protections last December. Keep your eyes on Trump to make sure he doesn't reverse them. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Rest assured that we won't quietly watch Trump destroy the United States' plants, animals and wild places just so his oligarch pals can buy another vacation home. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

The damage that the richest man on the planet and his lapdog #Trump are doing to imperiled species is already unfolding. One example: funding for monitoring northern spotted owls in the #PNW is being cut, leaving conservation agencies without lifesaving data. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

It's way past time for the PNW's spring-run Chinook salmon to get protections. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

This news isn't all positive though: The agency also proposed a rule to loosen restrictions on when grizzlies can be killed and limit where they get federal protection. The rule would exclude places like California and Colorado, where the bears once lived and abundant habitat remains.

BREAKING: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today denied petitions to remove Endangered Species Act protections from #grizzlybears, finding that the imperiled animals still need federal protection. More info: biodiv.us/425odvm

A power company is quietly trying to flood nearly 1,500 acres in southeast Oklahoma for new reservoirs. It's nearly universally opposed, but the FERC isn't listening even though it would likely drive the endangered Ouachita rock pocketbook mussel extinct. www.oklahoman.com/story/opinio...

This is a real gut punch. Southern resident orcas struggle due to massive amount of pollution that bioaccumulates (and then offloads into the newborn calves). Add in a century of dams and overfishing and now the population is at the brink of extinction. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

BREAKING: We just launched our latest lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today for failing to provide habitat protection to endangered Sierra Nevada red foxes in California. More info ➡️ biodiv.us/3ZZHPi4

Getting rid of the polio vaccine is an absolutely braindead idea. My grandma couldn't walk up more than three stairs because polio paralyzed one of her lungs. Don't let them do that to your kids.

Great news 🎉: After 10+ years of advocacy by the Center + allies, the USFWS today proposed to protect eastern #hellbenders as endangered under the Endangered Species Act! More information: biodiv.us/4g85vHZ 📷: by David Herasimtschuk / Freshwaters Illustrated

Monarchs got protected as threatened under the Endangered Species Act! It took way too long (the Center and allies petitioned for protections in 2014), but this is an absolutely crucial first step towards recovering these beautiful, iconic butterflies. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Today the Center sued the Fish and Wildlife Service to get them to actually protect North America's tiniest turtles. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Can't think of a better first post than these beautiful Yellowstone bison chilling in the Lamar Valley.
