Earlier today the Center sued the Bureau of Land Management for approving a dangerous logging project in Montana. The Clark Fork Face project will log thousands of acres of mature forest — and harm threatened grizzlies, Canada lynx, wolverines and bull trout. The area to be plundered is a critical connectivity corridor that's vital to the recovery of vulnerable wildlife. To stop the extinction crisis, we must protect the homes of at-risk species.
This is just another day in our fight for nature — but a critical day for you to support our lifesaving work. Please make your matched Giving Tuesday gift now to the Future for the Wild Fund. — Kierán

Hi John,
Five red wolf pups perished this summer after their father was killed by a vehicle strike, leaving their mother stranded and unable to feed them.
Today only 16 red wolves remain in the wild.
Yet federal officials continue to declare these wolves “nonessential”—limiting their protection.
So the Center for Biological Diversity went to court last week to keep this species from disappearing.

This Giving Tuesday please help us save red wolves and other imperiled species by giving to the Future for the Wild Fund. All gifts today will be matched dollar for dollar.
Red wolves once roamed from Texas to Florida and as far north as New York.
But relentless killing and mismanagement nearly wiped them out. Now a small handful of wild survivors eke out a living in a small pocket of eastern North Carolina.
In addition to vehicle strikes, shootings are a leading cause of death for these wolves.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services still allows them to be shot — even though it admits a court decision from years ago should make that wolf-killing illegal.
The Service refuses to act, so we had no choice but to take it to court.
Red wolves are the most endangered wolves on the planet. They need every bit of protection to have a chance of lasting into the future.
We won't stand by while they're pushed into extinction. That's why we went to court.
Without more protection red wolves in the wild could be gone within just a few years. The Service has a legal obligation to them — and to every other U.S. species facing extinction.
The Center was founded to save plants and animals who can't speak for themselves. We've gone to court for red wolves before and won.
We'll never stop doing all we can, but we need your help.
