Hi John,
Canada lynx are federally protected and being pushed to the brink by habitat loss and fragmentation.
Yet Congress just mandated strip mining where these great cats live in the Boundary Waters area of northeastern Minnesota — also home to gray wolves and northern long-eared bats.
This selling out of public lands to make way for bulldozers and oil rigs will be a disaster for wildlife. It can't be allowed.
Please help us fight back with a gift today to the Future for the Wild Fund. Thanks to anonymous champions of wildlife, your gift will be matched.
To pay for a tax cut for billionaires, House Republicans passed a budget that would generate profits — by selling public lands to the highest bidder.
For developers and Big Oil, it's a chance to get their hands on places critical to the survival of the wild. These giveaways are expansive and dangerous.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of acres to be mined in Minnesota, the bill mandates four more oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge is one of the most pristine landscapes on Earth.
Alaska's Cook Inlet, home to endangered beluga whales, would have six oil leases up for grabs. That would further threaten belugas with seismic testing and oil spills.
The anti-wildlife forces dominating Congress also brought back to life a 211-mile road that would stretch across the vast unspoiled lands of the Brooks Range Wilderness — paving the way for an industrial mining complex that would intersect caribou migration paths.
We knew attacks on public lands were coming. Now Trump and his footstools in Congress are moving ahead with putting a FOR SALE sign on the public lands endangered species need to survive.
We've taken legal action against the administration nearly every 1 in 4 days since it took office. The Center will do all we can to keep public lands safe from destruction.
Because the forces we're up against are so ruthless, please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense of the natural world.
For the wild,
