There’s a popular talking point that says boycotting animal products is an “individual action” that distracts from the responsibility of powerful corporations.

The meat industry spent decades promoting this narrative.

For the fifth consecutive year: We've documented widespread damage to critical habitat for Gila chub and Western yellow-billed cuckoo from herds of unauthorized cattle in Arizona’s Agua Fria National Monument.

We've been fighting this issue for years: biodiv.us/4bKzAfi

This is what America looked like before the creation of the EPA

MORE OF THIS! 👏

1,000+ people rallied in Montana on Sunday in support of public lands and public lands workers who have been fired by Trump and Musk.

We the people are not going to be silent as this administration tries to gut and sell off our treasured natural spaces. #HandsOffOurLands

Now is the time to sound the alarm and urge the Trump admin not to dismantle some of the most important places our country has to offer, including Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments.

Text LANDS to 43428 to tell Interior Secretary Burgum to protect our national monuments.

Cheatgrass spreads where livestock grazing wipes out native plants, fueling fire and invasion. WWP’s meta-analysis proves grazing makes it worse, yet agencies push cows as the “solution.” Shifting baselines make people forget what’s been lost. This isn’t natural—it’s policy-driven destruction.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is under attack!

The current administration is trying to dismantle NEPA and remove regulations, destroying an act that has protected our environment for decades.

Contrary to the regenerative ranching racquet, this meta-analysis further adds to the consensus:

Natural ecosystems contain more stable soil carbon stores than even the best agricultural land, and their preservation (& restoration as best as possible) is therefore crucial.

For so-called marginal land, if its use as agricultural land is necessary, organic amendments (say introducing plant compost or a diversity of nitrogen fixing perennial crops) and even biochar, are far better for soil improvements than grazing cattle:

‘But grazing cattle net stores GHGs and is the best way to protect grasslands’

Nope:

The presence of grazing compared to no grazing decreased SOC by as much as -31% ! (avg -7.1%) (CI -31, -3.9)

There's zero evidence that grazing cattle perfectly can ever be better than this:

“The preservation of SOC can be effectively achieved through the protection of natural ecosystems and the introduction of perennial crops in croplands”

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land.
All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land.
The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.

Meanwhile, in the world of #whales -
Steps taken to reduce the likelihood of shipping killing individual Gulf of Mexico whales (Balaenoptera ricei) have been rescinded

~50 or so is the best estimate of the abundance of this species

There will be a hearing tomorrow on this terrible piece of legislation so we need you to act TODAY!

Today’s Natural Resources, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations’ hearing on experimental populations under the Endangered Species Act is the next step in anti-wildlife Members of Congress attempts to play politics with the ESA and undermine best available science.
