Last Chance to Double Your Gift for the Wild
Nothing is more central to our everyday work for wildlife than the Endangered Species Act.
In 2022, we'll be in court to restore the Act's full power after Trump tried to break it down. It'll be the fight of a lifetime — and we need your help.
The Trump administration changed how critical habitat is defined, limiting protections for forests, rivers and other areas where endangered species could recover in the future.
As it currently stands, corporate interests can destroy the habitat of species that are at risk — and then claim that since wildlife doesn't live there at the moment, the habitat needs no protection.
It's a feedback loop of destruction that will doom creatures like northern spotted owls and dusky gopher frogs to extinction.
Over the past 30 years, the Center has locked in protections for 727 species and more than half a billion acres of habitat.
We're in ongoing legal battles to save species like manatees, gray wolves, grizzlies, lynxes and many others.
And we're looking forward to our day in court to strengthen the Act, which saves more than 99% of species that come under its protection.
We'll win these critical battles because that's what we do. And what we have to do.
We're ready — but we need you with us.
