Have you ever wondered what an American wolverine sounds like? If you haven't, you're probably wondering now. Turn your sound up to hear this animal's ferocious growls. 🔊 Did you know? #Wolverines, the largest land-dwelling species in the mustelid family, are famous for their daring and tenacity — they've been known to prey on animals as big as moose.

Part of what🐞 bugs🪲 us about the extinction crisis? The possibility of losing so many of our insect friends to things like pollution, pesticides, habitat destruction and climate change. Insects are incredible. It’s impossible to overstate their importance in keeping ecosystems and humans healthy and functioning. Yet sadly, insects are declining across the globe. We are pushing so many ecosystems beyond the point of recovery, resulting in insect extinctions. These declines lead to loss of essential, irreplaceable services to humanity — from pollination and decomposition and more. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Halting the extinction crisis isn’t just about saving a species when it’s dwindled to only a few. It’s also about keeping track of animals and plants as they begin to decline so we can intervene with solutions before it’s too late. A 2024 study offered a sobering global assessment of where things stand with all types of species. It wasn't a good outlook. The Center fights wildlife decline by protecting habitat, reining in pollution and wildlife exploitation, pushing for Endangered Species Act protections and battling industrial agriculture, climate change and more.

Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, at the tip of the Alaska Peninsula, is one of the most ecologically important areas in the United States. This magical place is a sanctuary for migratory birds and awe-inspiring wildlife like brown bears, salmon, walruses, caribou, and wolves. Now this refuge faces a devastating threat: a proposed road that would cut through its heart, damaging wetlands and eelgrass beds essential for climate resilience and wildlife. Join us in urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to reject this destructive road now. ➡️ https://bit.ly/42sotoy

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently issued a proposal outlining new critical habitat protections for Canada lynx. While it adds in some areas, it removes protection from more than 6 million acres of lynx habitat in the northern Rocky Mountains. Helping imperiled species survive and recover requires protecting habitat not just where they currently live, but also where they could expand. A key aspect of doing that is preserving connectivity between populations. Canada #lynx deserve more habitat protection — not less.

Some good news: This past weekend, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released 15 gray wolves in the historic effort to re-establish a wolf population in Colorado. The wolves were relocated from British Columbia, Canada and all have no history of interaction or conflict with livestock. The bad news: Misinformation around the releases drove would-be wolf poachers to one of the suspected release site with guns in hand. Reminder: It is illegal to harm or kill a protected, endangered gray wolf in the state of Colorado and many other states. There is still currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to arrests and convictions in the 2024 shooting death of a gray wolf in Colorado — the father of the Copper Creek Pack. Wolves belong here. Learn more about gray wolf recovery ➡️ https://bit.ly/4h31hlj 📷: Courtesy of Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Hopeful news: Last week we secured deadlines for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to decide whether 76 species warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act. The decisions, to be made over the next five years, will include whether to protect Arizona toads, Ferris’ copper butterflies, Chesapeake logperch fish, golden-winged warblers, spotted turtles and more. The planet's wondrous web of life — which took 4 billion years to evolve — is vanishing in the blink of an eye. We're doing all that we can to save species great and small.

We don't know what the next few years will look like, but we do know that Trump 2.0 is going to get twice the fight from the protectors of our planet. Our lawyers are ready to oppose every attempt his administration makes to worsen climate change, kill wildlife, endanger public health, and destroy public lands. These lawsuits make a difference. With no checks on his power, Trump and his allies would leave a scorched Earth in their wake. We're fighting back from day one. Join us ➡️ https://biodiv.us/42ODoYc
