As you read this, a campaign of greed is ravaging the nation’s ecological hotspots. And the list of imperiled animals is growing by the minute.

The Tongass National Forest in Alaska contains one of the largest intact old-growth rainforest ecosystems in the world and is home to a vast array of wildlife - but last year, the region’s Alexander Archipelago wolves were slaughtered in record numbers.

In Wyoming, the Thunder Basin National Grassland is home to rare species of the Great Plains. But the Forest Service is caving to pressure from cattle ranchers and plans to allow mass poisoning and shooting of native prairie dogs, dooming recovery for the endangered black-footed ferret.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge teems with wildlife - polar bears, a vast herd of Caribou and an incredible assortment of birds. But Big Oil is gearing up for an industrial invasion, with thumper trucks that could crush polar bear moms and cubs in their dens.
