Urgent Update: Stop a Dangerous Carbon Bomb
[link removed]

Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved permitting for the CP2 liquefied methane gas (LNG) export facility. This project is a climate bomb. CP2 LNG would be the single largest potential source of greenhouse gas emissions currently proposed globally, equivalent to 46 coal-fired power plants. We cannot allow this to go forward and endanger Gulf Coast communities and our future!

Demand President Biden and the Department of Energy permanently halt all new LNG projects now.

Tell the U.S. Forest Service: We Need Stronger Protections for Old-Growth Forests
[link removed]

Our mature and old-growth forests are one of nature’s greatest tools to help us fight climate change. They also provide so many other valuable resources, like critical habitat for wildlife and reliable drinking water for hundreds of millions of Americans. We have an opportunity to make a new measure proposed by the U.S. Forest Service the safeguard we need to protect them from the urgent threat of commercial logging -- but only if we act now!
Submit a comment to the U.S. the Forest Service demanding strong protections for mature and old-growth forests.

Act Now: Our Best Chance to Shut Down Line 5
[link removed]

Every day, the Line 5 pipeline moves 22 million gallons of crude oil and fracked gas across 645 miles from Wisconsin to Canada. Right now, the Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comments on Line 5 for the next month. This is one of our best chances to shut down this pipeline, so it's crucial that we use this opportunity to make our voices heard!
Comment to tell the Biden Administration that more dangerous oil is not the answer for the Great Lakes, our communities, or our future!

Researchers Get Closer to Creating a Real Life Jurassic Park
[link removed]

Human activities have caused nearly 500 species extinctions in the last century, with habitat loss and climate change speeding up this trend. Some researchers now explore "de-extinction" to revive lost species, grappling with its moral and ecological implications. But given the risks and current biodiversity crisis, we should be investing in efforts to protect species and ecosystems that are still alive rather than pursuing flashy vanity projects.

Where Compassion and Conservation Meet
[link removed]

Traditional conservation is focused on preventing extinction. If a species is not in danger, the thinking is, all is well. But for scientists like Arian Wallach and Heidi Pearson, the well-being of individual animals, not just their species, is equally important.
