We can’t imagine a Yellowstone without wolves, an Everglades without alligators, a U.S. without bald eagles, and especially not a world without wildlife.
The Endangered Species Act protected those iconic species and will continue to protect even more – as long as WE protect IT.

Trump's EPA is trying to end the Clean Water Act once and for all.
Their proposed Polluted Water Rule would be devastating for our environment and communities.
They won’t be happy until bedrock environmental laws are nothing more than words on a page and they can pollute our waters with abandon.

A North Carolina wildlife crossing will save people. Can it save the last wild red wolves too?
Red wolves once ranged far and wide across the U.S., helping them earn the nickname “America's wolf.” But there are now thought to be fewer than 20 left in the wild.
