WOLVES UNDER CONGRESSIONAL ATTACK — TAKE ACTION
Wolves and the Endangered Species Act are once again under serious assault. In the next two weeks, Congress will be considering no fewer than three separate bills to remove federal protection from wolves in the western Great Lakes states. If any of these bills become law, thousands of wolves will be cruelly killed by hunters and trappers. These cynical bills would not only harm wolves, but would weaken and undermine the Endangered Species Act itself, which is under attack as never before.
The Center for Biological Diversity works through science, law and creative media to secure a future for all species, great or small, hovering on the brink of extinction. Learn more about the Center for Biological Diversity.

CENTER LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP: 26
From the moment Trump took office, our lawyers have been working feverishly to oppose every attempt he’s made to worsen climate change, kill wildlife, endanger public health and destroy public lands. Learn about all our suits filed so far to fight back against the Trump administration.
TRUMP ACTION TOOLKIT: Ready to Fight Trump? Start here.
With President Trump in the White House, people power is more important than ever. The Center launched this Trump Action Toolkit — start by signing our pledge of resistance. The fight is on.
Save Our National Monuments From Trump
The Trump administration has put 27 national monuments on the chopping block, endangering more than 1 billion acres of America's most spectacular, culturally important and ecologically intact public lands and oceans.
No Border Wall
Jeopardizing endangered species and public lands, the U.S.-Mexico border wall is part of a larger strategy of ongoing border militarization that damages human rights, civil liberties, native lands, local businesses and international relations. Learn about our fight.
Public Lands Enemies
This Center report analyzes 132 bills part of a concerted effort by 15 U.S. senators and representatives, backed by extractive industries, to privatize our public lands — putting at risk hundreds of thousands of acres held in the public trust and home to diverse native wildlife.
Restoring the Gray Wolf
The Center is fighting hard to help all U.S. gray wolves get back the protections they need to recover in habitat across the country. Losing safeguards brings progress to a grinding halt.

Nuestro Trabajo en México
Mexico hosts a stunning array of species, but too many are imperiled. The Center opened an office in La Paz to help save sea turtles, vaquitas and other wildlife in trouble. Read about our Mexico work en español or in English.
Fighting Back Against Trump’s War on Science
Sound science is more important than ever for protecting biodiversity and the lands, waters and climate we all need to survive — but Trump is waging a war on science that’s putting people and the planet at risk. The Center has no choice but to fight — learn more and join us.
The Politics of Extinction
Despite its success, the Endangered Species Act is under attack like never before. Congressional Republicans have launched a barrage of legislative assaults on endangered species in recent years, seeking to block, remove or weaken their protections.
