@centerforbiodiv Bears in southwest Alaska, including mothers and their cubs, could soon be chased down by helicopters and killed across 40,000 square miles of wild habitat. Since 2023 the state has killed at least 191 bears, including dozens of young cubs. They want fewer bears to boost a struggling caribou herd to increase hunting opportunities. But there’s no science showing killing bears will help. The Center for Biological Diversity is suing to stop this unlawful plan from moving forward, and we need your support to keep fighting.

@centerforbiodiv Alligator Alcatraz may be closing, but our work isn’t done. This facility should have never been built in the heart of the Everglades. Now, we’re pushing for full restoration of the site and safeguards to ensure this reckless operation can never happen again. Our attorney and Florida & Caribbean Director Elise Bennett explains what’s needed to move forward and protect the Everglades for endangered Florida panthers, bonneted bats, and all the wildlife that call this ecosystem home. #alligatoralcatraz #florida #Everglades

@centerforbiodiv Florida panthers are running out of room to live as development spreads into their habitat. Now, a massive new project would destroy nearly 5,000 acres of panther habitat in southwest Florida, right in the heart of their essential territory. It’s one of many developments that threaten to push this species extinction, cut by devastating cut. The Center for Biological Diversity is suing the federal agencies that allowed this project to move forward in violation of the Endangered Species Act. Donate at the link in our bio to help us protect Florida panthers and the habitat they have left. 💛 📹: Tom Mortenson #floridapanthers

@centerforbiodiv The Tongass National Forest in Alaska is the largest intact old-growth temperate rainforest in the world…and federal officials want to log it again. The Forest Service is proposing to revive the Twin Mountain II timber sale and clear-cut trees across nearly 1,655 acres of the Tongass, threatening irreplaceable habitat for Queen Charlotte goshawks, Alexander Archipelago wolves, Pacific salmon, and countless other species. These ancient trees are also a critical natural buffer against climate change, storing immense amounts of carbon that would be released if they were cut. Tell the Forest Service to scrap this destructive proposal and keep the Tongass standing. #alaskaforest #tongass #logging #conservation
