Protecting Florida Panthers from Exurban Development

Florida panthers, with likely fewer than 200 remaining, face critical habitat loss in southwest Florida. Development confines them to shrinking pockets, forcing dangerous crossings and threatening their survival.

Now, another large-scale residential and commercial project threatens to eliminate nearly 5,000 more acres. This will inevitably lead to increased roads, vehicle strikes, and deadly conflict over their limited space.

The Center for Biological Diversity and partners are challenging federal approvals in court to halt this destruction. Help support their vital fight to protect Florida panthers before it's too late.

A Week at the Center

Environmental and legal battles persist, with the Trump administration approving continued atrazine use and reviving cyanide "bombs" on public lands. New border wall contracts also threaten Big Bend, posing significant risks to wildlife and natural habitats.

Despite these challenges, resistance is strong. New lawsuits protect marine wildlife, wolf recovery grows in California, and efforts defend grizzlies and endangered sea turtles. These ongoing actions are shaping the future of conservation. Follow for weekly updates and take action against M-44 cyanide bombs via our bio link.

Take Action to Protect the Tongass National Forest

Federal logging plans threaten ancient trees in Alaska’s Tongass rainforest. The U.S. Forest Service proposes clear-cutting nearly 1,655 acres of old-growth habitat, vital for species like Alexander Archipelago wolves, Pacific salmon, and Queen Charlotte goshawks.

These centuries-old forests also act as a crucial natural buffer against climate change, storing vast amounts of carbon. Destroying them would release this carbon and eliminate a key environmental defense. Urge the Forest Service to abandon this destructive proposal and protect these irreplaceable trees.

Urgent Development: Alaska Bears

An Alaska Superior Court ruling permits the state to kill an unlimited number of black and brown bears across 40,000 square miles of southwest Alaska this summer. The state claims this "bear control program" will boost a struggling caribou herd, but there is no scientific evidence to support this assertion.

Cooper Freeman, Alaska director at the Center for Biological Diversity, expressed concern about the "unlawful plan's irreversible consequences" and the lack of scientific basis. He emphasized the need to protect wildlife based on science, not "disgraceful waste of the state’s limited resources."

The Center for Biological Diversity and Alaska Wildlife Alliance are collaborating to stop this program. Support their efforts in this critical fight.

Why is Alaska going to kill bears across 40,000 square miles?

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, contend this program lacks scientific support. Courts have already ruled against the initiative.

Independent experts identify disease and food scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, as the primary drivers of the caribou's decline, not bear predation. They assert that killing bears will not achieve long-term recovery. Wildlife management should prioritize science, sustainability, and ecosystem protection over scapegoating.

A Cameo by ‘Cinco’ the Jaguar

New video from a remote camera in southern Arizona's Sky Islands captured a rare jaguar, "Cinco," moving through the area in March and April, alongside bears and mountain lions. First filmed in 2025, this sighting underscores the jaguar's rightful place, despite threats like border wall construction, mining, and drought. Jaguars, the world's third-largest cats, once ranged extensively across the U.S. Southwest.

Save Alaska Bears from Aerial Gunning

Alaska has confirmed a plan to kill an unlimited number of bears across 40,000 square miles, including near national park borders. Game agents will shoot bears from helicopters. This controversial initiative aims to boost a struggling caribou herd, despite a lack of scientific evidence that bear culling will be effective or address the caribou's underlying issues.

The Center for Biological Diversity has sued to stop this cruel and illegal plan. Your support is vital to help protect Alaska’s bears.
