Hi John,
Wolverines can range up to 15 miles a day — and cover hundreds of square miles in their lifetime. As few as 300 of these mammals live in the lower 48 today.
If the Trump administration gets its way, 58 million acres of wild, unfragmented public lands could be opened to bulldozers and chainsaws. It's an imminent threat to wolverines and countless other species.
The Center for Biological Diversity will be fighting this with all we've got. Please help today with a gift to the Wildlife and Wild Places Defense Fund. Thanks to generous champions of the wild, gifts made through August 1 will be matched.
The administration wants to open up 58 million acres of national forests to road construction, logging and other development.
That would undo protections that have been in place for decades, safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring every species has a shot at survival. It's the latest in a string of attacks on our public lands — and can't be allowed to stand.
The Roadless Rule has provided crucial protections for wolverines, Canada lynx, grizzly bears, gray wolves, mountain lions and countless species of birds and fish.
Tearing down these protections would risk wildlife habitats from Alaska to Colorado to Virginia. It's a giveaway to the timber industry and other corporate giants bent on industrializing these spectacular places and pushing too many species toward the brink of extinction.
This summer we've seen some of the largest attacks ever on public lands. Some have been beaten back, but many more remain.
This administration and its anti-wildlife allies will keep coming up with ways to plunder public lands. And we'll meet them at every turn.
The Center is on guard to defend public lands and species. Lives depend on it, and we're not about to back away.
Because threats to public lands and wildlife are ongoing, we need you for the long haul. Please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense.
For the wild,
