The Center and three Alaska Native Tribes have sued the Trump administration for illegally trading federal land vital to tribal members. This land swap threatens Izembek, one of the world's most important migratory bird staging areas. Critical eelgrass wetlands, relied on by emperor geese, black brant, and other birds that sustain these communities, face irreparable damage from a proposed road.

This unlawful giveaway would undermine subsistence food systems and set a dangerous precedent for all 104 million acres of Alaska's protected wildlands. We are fighting to stop this destruction and urge you to stand with us.

The Center has filed a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for refusing to develop a national gray wolf recovery plan under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This challenges the Trump administration's finding that ESA protection for the gray wolf is "no longer appropriate" and its decision to forgo an updated recovery plan. This action comes two years after a similar successful lawsuit.

Collette Adkins, a senior attorney, affirmed, "We’re challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful decision to once again abandon wolf recovery, and we’ll win." She stressed that the FWS must follow science and law, demanding a comprehensive national recovery plan. Past delistings resulted in hundreds of wolves being hunted, underscoring the critical need for consistent federal protections.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation. These efforts failed to slow us down.

Since Trump's second inauguration on January 20, we have filed 65 lawsuits. These actions targeted destructive policies, climate-killing fossil fuels, widespread chemical approvals, and the despoilment of vital ecosystems like the Everglades. We also fought corruption threatening wilderness areas and defended national parks from exploitation.

We are deeply grateful for your continued faith and anticipate more hard-fought battles and victories in 2026.

Human activity globally threatens biodiversity. David Attenborough emphasizes its vital importance, the impact of its loss, and that there's still time to act if we change direction now.

Fewer than 20 red wolves remain in the wild, with vehicle strikes posing their greatest threat.

Through collaborative efforts, a $25 million federal grant has been secured. This funding will enable the construction of wildlife crossings, safeguarding red wolves and many other species.

Fewer than 20 red wolves remain in the wild, with vehicle strikes posing their most significant threat. To address this critical issue, we helped secure a $25 million federal grant.

This funding will enable the construction of vital wildlife crossings. These crossings will protect red wolves and dozens of other species from road accidents, offering a crucial lifeline for endangered wildlife.

Despite a previously unknown jaguar sighting in southern Arizona, border-wall construction crews recently detonated explosions in Coronado National Memorial. This destruction impacts federally protected critical jaguar habitat, along with threatened Mexican spotted owls and the endangered beardless chinchweed flower.

Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity, who filmed the destruction, stated the wall "will fracture jaguar migration routes, choke genetic diversity, and wipe out natural connections." The administration waived environmental laws to accelerate this work, setting the stage for "long-term ecological collapse."

Far-right Republicans have launched another congressional "investigation" targeting the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). CBD condemns this as a fraudulent abuse of power, designed to intimidate opponents. However, CBD remains unintimidated and is prepared to fight back aggressively.

CBD's Executive Director immediately called for Congress to investigate a real scandal: a Chilean billionaire and his mining company spent millions influencing Trump officials to reverse protections for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. This mine threatens endangered species and public lands. Suckling offered to testify publicly about these shady dealings, including corporate donations to the "investigators." CBD is committed to protecting wildlife and public resources.
