The Center for Biological Diversity is a Tucson, Arizona-headquartered 501c3 nonprofit. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature—to the vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Recognizing diversity's intrinsic value and the societal impoverishment caused by its loss, we work to secure a future for all species on the brink of extinction.

We achieve this through science, law, and creative media, focusing on protecting the lands, waters, and climate essential for species survival. Our ultimate goal is for future generations to inherit a world where the wild still thrives.

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision further stripped federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to destruction.

This loss devastates biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands, with over a third living exclusively there. Wetlands also protect water quality and mitigate flood risks. Act now: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.
