Hi John,
America's largest population of gray wolves depends on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota.
Alongside them, in the beautiful Superior National Forest, live threatened Canada lynx and northern long-eared bats.
For years the Center for Biological Diversity has been fighting to keep this vast wilderness safe from copper mining — and we've been winning. That's why a group of far-right congressmembers has begun a sham "investigation" into our lifesaving work. Their abuse of power can't be allowed to stand, and we're already fighting back against the intimidation tactics.
Please help by making an urgent gift to the Center. Thanks to generous champions of the wild, your donation will be doubled.
With more than 1 million acres of boreal forest, rocky outcrops, and nearly 2,000 clear glacial lakes, the Boundary Waters — the most visited wilderness area in the United States — forms part of a 2-million-acre binational network of protected public lands.
This precious watershed has also been a target for copper mining.
And as we've seen, some in Congress are willing to target those who get in the way. The "investigation" into us is bogus — the far-right members who opened it can't point to any improper activity by the Center.
Yet there's plenty of shady activity to be found. What the committee should look into are the ties between the Trump administration, the Trump family, members of the House Committee itself, and the Twin Metals company whose mining would devastate areas near the Boundary Waters.
The forces that want to plunder public lands and put species at risk are ruthless. But our defense is unyielding, and we need you with us.
Because threats to wildlife and the Center are ongoing, we need you for the long haul. Please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense.
For the wild,
