Hi John,
Three endangered species, including the United States' largest population of endangered gray wolves, depend on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota.
Just days ago the Trump administration advanced a dangerous mine in the area. Destruction of this ecosystem would be a disaster for the wild.
Please help the Center for Biological Diversity stop this attack by giving to the Future for the Wild Fund.
The Superior National Forest is home to more than 300 bird species, as well as endangered gray wolves, Canada lynx and northern long-eared bats.
Last week the Interior Department moved forward on a mining project that will plunder copper, nickel, and other minerals from one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the country.
The Boundary Waters wilderness forms part of a 2-million-acre binational network of protected public lands, including rocky outcrops, nearly 2,000 clear glacial lakes, and more than 1 million acres of boreal forest.
A mineral exploration and extraction boom around the Boundary Waters would threaten acid drainage in waterways; create massive levels of air, light, and noise pollution; and force out the wildlife who have roamed this area for countless generations.
Wolves, lynx, and bats — along with moose, bears, and other species — could see their habitat destroyed.
The administration is still doing the bidding of those who see the wild as a profit center. The Center thinks the Boundary Waters and its broad ecosystem — and the species who live there — are invaluable.
The Center's promise is to fight back against those who will tear apart the natural world, destroy habitat and push species closer to the brink.
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,
