Without the Roadless Rule, vast landscapes critical for the survival of wolves and other iconic wildlife could be lost to logging. Help us protect these habitats and the animals that call them home. environmental-action.org/take-action/...
The U.S. Forest Service is trying to put tens of millions of acres of forests on the chopping block. A third of all national forests could be targeted for logging -- but the public is only being given 21 days to weigh in. Will you rush an urgent donation to help defend our oldest, wildest forests?
Did you know these facts about wolf pups?
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should be preserved for polar bears and other wildlife, not devastated by drilling.
Good news for Asha!
The overuse of pesticides is devastating nature.
Montana just voted to slaughter more than 450 wolves in the next few months. It’s tragic and heartbreaking -- but we won’t be silent while wolves are being slaughtered. Join our pack today:
We also think these traits make Arctic wolves especially charming. Don’t you agree?
"But the consequences of nurdle spills are being felt globally. In March, nurdles washed up on Britain’s Norfolk coast after a container ship collided with a tanker in the North Sea. In January 2024, millions of pellets washed up on Spain’s Galician coast."
"Other ways to help fireflies survive include: not using pesticides, reducing artificial lighting at night, and allowing the grass to grow long and the leaves to pile up in your yard."
We just sent more than 13,000 comments urging the Fish & Wildlife Service to protect all pangolins under the Endangered Species Act. Thank you to everyone who took action!
A million acres of boreal forest are cut down every year. That’s equivalent to an area bigger than a football field disappearing every minute. Home improvement stores like Ace Hardware can help protect this amazing forest.
What are "cyanide bombs"...and why is the federal government still putting them on our public lands?!
We have five days to urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to grant pangolins endangered species protections. Sign the petition today:
Good news for red wolves!
There’s nothing like standing in a grove of old-growth redwoods.
Six new pups for Colorado's One Ear Pack!
This feels like a good time to remind everyone that the cleanest energy is the energy we never use in the first place.
Male greater sage grouse perform an unusual mating “dance” in which they inflate yellow air sacs on their chest and thrust forth their heads, making loud popping noises. These charismatic birds are threatened by habitat fragmentation caused by oil drilling.
Montana just proposed killing a shocking 500 wolves this winter. That's 500 wolves who will never get another chance to play with their pack, howl at the moon, or raise new pups. The state is only accepting public comments until Aug. 4. Add your name: Wolves are treasures, not trophies.
Happy World Nature Conservation Day! What does conservation mean to you?
The Okefenokee Swamp is a haven of ecological diversity.
"Producing textiles is typically a resource-intensive process that guzzles water while spewing greenhouse gases and pollution."
A reminder to keep those bird baths full -- we aren't the only ones struggling with this hot weather.
For years, Rep. Lauren Boebert has pushed to erase protections for gray wolves. Now, the language from her bill has been slipped into new spending legislation. Tell Congress: No more wolf hunts.
Montana is trying to kill hundreds of wolves this winter.
These are the highest concentrations of toxic PFAS ever found in wildlife.
The Teshekpuk Caribou Herd, the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, and the Central Arctic Caribou Herd all call the Western Arctic home. Help us protect this critical habitat from oil drilling:
"Because wolves are social animals, their deaths cause a ripple of consequences—particularly if a parent dies, because mates raise litters together."
"The state's goal is to reduce the wolf population down from the estimated average of 1,270 wolves to a new average of about 500 wolves, with a low of about 350 wolves."
Hawaiian monk seals, or 'īlio holo i ka uaua in Hawaiian, are the only seals native to Hawaii and are found nowhere else on Earth. With approximately 1,600 seals left, they're also one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world.
The EPA is moving in the wrong direction on PFAS.
"Wolves are pretty fragile, and one reason they have the protections they have is that, when they're initially establishing themselves, it's really just a pair."
This will put tens of millions of acres of our national forests at risk.
When you think of Las Vegas, the first word that comes to mind probably isn't "sustainability" -- but the city is making big strides to go green.

We won’t rest while wolves are being slaughtered, but we’re up against intense opposition, and we can’t do it alone. Our fiscal year ends at midnight, and as we assess what resources we’ll have in the year ahead, we need to know:
Across the Northern Rockies, hundreds of wolves are being shot, snared, and struck by snowmobiles. Some of them are pups who are too young to have even left their dens for the first time. And now Rep. Lauren Boebert is trying to open the door to nationwide wolf hunts.
What's your favorite spot on public lands? Tell us in the replies!
Legislation in Congress could open the door to nationwide wolf hunts. That would mean hundreds more wolves killed -- every single year. Tell your U.S. senators: No more wolf hunts
This family deserved better.
"Aside from the dangers animals face from vehicle traffic, highways fragment their habitat, inhibit migration and decrease the genetic diversity required for adapting to changing conditions."
Happy Summer Solstice!
A new proposal would require that MILLIONS of acres of public lands be put on the auction block. Tell your senators: Don't sell off our public lands.
It's National Pollinator Week! What is your state doing to protect the bees? Check out our new report and find out:
Along with our friends at Environment America, we just submitted more than 25,000 public comments opposing expanded offshore drilling. A big thank you to everyone who spoke up to protect our oceans!
It's National Pollinator Week! We're so grateful for butterflies, bees and all the other pollinators that keep our plants healthy.
The American bumblebee has declined by more than 90% in recent years -- and a primary culprit is a class of bee-killing pesticides known as neonics. There’s no reason why companies like Amazon should be selling these pesticides. Urge Amazon to stop selling neonics and let bees live.
A survey found broad public support for life-saving wildlife crossings.
Today, more than 19,000 wolf-lovers called on Wyoming to save 44 gray wolves from slaughter. Thanks for adding your voice to our howl.
If you're in Colorado, check out this great pollinators event hosted by our friends at Environment Colorado and CoPIRG!
How much do you know about these three species of wolf?
Happy World Environment Day! Take a moment today to appreciate the environment that we're so lucky to have.
Wyoming is poised to set a goal of killing 44 wolves this year -- and that's just in the small part of the state where wolf hunting is relatively restricted.
Wyoming has proposed increasing the number of wolves hunters may kill in the upcoming hunting season to 44. We have until June 10 to make it clear to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department: These wolves deserve to live.
Action alert from @enviroaction.bsky.social Tell Walmart: Do your part to protect the boreal forest by committing to sustainable tissue products "The devastation of the boreal forest is fueled in part by demand for consumer products." environmental-action.org/take-action/...
Good news, Oregon is putting our planet over plastic!
What’s more important: Sprawling forests that shelter billions of birds, or slightly softer toilet paper? We prefer the forests, so we’re urging Walmart to commit to not selling toilet paper that sources wood pulp from the boreal forest. Add your name if you agree:
Some adorable wolf puppies to brighten your Thursday:
Happy World Otter Day!
Heartbreaking: This bird was found with almost 800 pieces of plastic in its stomach.
Dubbed the Machu Picchu of North America, Chaco Canyon blends ancient culture with pristine nature. But Congress is considering a bill that would bring drilling to Chaco Canyon’s doorstep. Tell your U.S. House representative to defend this special place:
🚨🚨Breaking News: Idaho just voted to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay hunters for killing wolves We won’t rest until wolves everywhere are safe -- but we can’t do it alone. Are you with us? Join our pack with a donation today. environmental-action.org/take-action/...
"Often called California’s Galapagos, the immersed cliffsides and caves of the Channel Islands are home to thousands of species that thrive on the rugged, pristine and isolated federal parklands and the state-protected waters that surround them."
Happy World Bee Day -- we love our pollinators!
We aren't going to recycle our way out of our waste crisis. We need to consume less to begin with.
Happy Endangered Species Day!
Welcome to the world!
From our friends at Environment America: What is Energy Star and why does it matter?
Happy World Migratory Bird Day! There are millions of birds right now traveling across North America to their breeding grounds up north.
Brightening your Wednesday with some baby endangered San Joaquin kit foxes.
"Green infrastructure isn’t a cure-all for New Orleans’ flooding problems, but in a city where much of the land lies below sea level, it certainly helps."
Tomorrow’s the day! Grab a friend and head to your local waterway to participate in the first International Plastic Pellet Count:
Maryland is the first state to protect 30% of its land and waters from development.
How do you find incredibly rare, endangered rusty-patched bumblebees? It turns out these dogs are part of the solution!
Sea turtles, puffins, various fish and even seals have been discovered with plastic pellets in their stomachs. There’s still time to sign up for the International Plastic Pellet Count on May 3 to help find and clean up these tiny plastic beads that are causing huge problems.
Right to Repair is a win-win for consumers and the environment.
There’s one week left to sign up for the first annual International Plastic Pellet Count! When plastic pellets enter our environment, they threaten the health of marine creatures who eat them, mistaking these plastic beads for fish eggs. Join the count to help our wildlife.
