Protecting 715 acres of refuge land from SpaceX

SUED. 🚨 This is what happens when a trillionaire-owned company starts treating public land like its own testing grounds. 📍 @uriel.cinema is taking you straight to the frontlines in Brownsville, Texas, where @spaceX has rapidly expanded across a rare coastal ecosystem, including land that belongs to the public and is meant to be protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They described their first site as a “small testing facility.” But it’s become something much larger: a growing industrial footprint in a crucially important habitats for endangered ocelots, sea turtles, and migratory birds. As if they didn’t have enough, they now want to take 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge for additional dangerous testing that is literally killing wildlife and destroying plants. That’s why the Center for Biological Diversity, along with @save.rgv, @sotxejn, and @estok_gna_somisek, are taking legal action to stop the @usfws from greenlighting this public land grab.

What happened in the last few weeks?

The last few weeks at the Center brought more updates from the border wall fight and continued action to defend the Everglades.   There was good news too: California steelhead protections survived a legal challenge, and all detainees were removed from the Everglades detention facility known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” But the environmental damage remains, and the legal fights continue. Follow us to stay updated share this video with someone who cares about protecting public lands and endangered species. For the wild🐺 #wildlifeconservation #endangeredspecies

More info on the closure of Alligator Allcatraz

More information on the closure of the detention center in the Everglades: "Finally it looks like ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is meeting its end,” said the Center’s Elise Bennett. “But the Trump and DeSantis administrations have shown we can’t trust them with Big Cypress’ future." Vulnerable wildlife like Florida panthers, bonneted bats, Everglades snail kites, wood storks, and countless other species depend on this landscape. We’ll be fighting to ensure the government cannot walk away from this inexcusable operation without accountability or full restoration of the site. Tune in tomorrow for more information from our press conference.

Stop SpaceX's Land Grab

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to transfer 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX. This vital public land provides critical habitat for endangered ocelots, rare migratory birds, and other wildlife.

SpaceX's operations already harm nearby habitats, with rocket launches scattering debris and damaging shorebird nests. This proposed land transfer further threatens species survival and the integrity of this crucial refuge.

The Center for Biological Diversity is suing to stop this harmful transfer and protect the region's wildlife. Support our fight: Donate Now.

Julia Watson

Author and designer Julia Watson challenges us to look beyond high-tech solutions for climate-resilient design. Instead, she advocates for nature-positive approaches by embracing the multi-generational genius of LO-TEK infrastructure, integrating ancestral knowledge with contemporary technology.

Tune into Episode 4 of the AskNature Podcast to delve deeper. Hosted by Amanda Sturgeon and Andrew Howley, this episode travels from Iraq's 6,500-year-old floating reed islands to explore how indigenous knowledge can design the infrastructures of contemporary cities.

We are suing to protect 715 acres of Texas Wildlife Refuge Land from SpaceX

We are suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to transfer 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to SpaceX. This action sacrifices public lands to subsidize a billionaire corporation, which we believe is an unacceptable use of shared resources.

Our co-plaintiffs include the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas (@estok_gna_somisek), the South Texas Environmental Justice Network (@sotxejn), and @save.rgv. We extend our gratitude to @uriel.cinema for his footage and dedicated advocacy for the people and wildlife of the Rio Grande Valley.
