The Center for Biological Diversity is again under attack. Far-right congressmen on the House Resources Committee have launched a baseless "investigation" against us for protecting the Arctic and polar bears from an oil conglomerate. Our Executive Director, Kierán, denounced this as a weaponization of government power, a smear tactic by oil-funded politicians to silence environmental advocates.

This "investigation" is a politically motivated witch hunt, devoid of legal merit and making absurd accusations. To combat this antidemocratic power-mongering and defend our critical work, we've established the Freedom Defense Fund. Your support is crucial to our survival against these persistent threats. Please donate today, or consider a monthly contribution to sustain our defense.

Green Plans are comprehensive, integrated management strategies designed to achieve environmental and economic sustainability, replacing traditional single-issue policies.

These plans have been implemented worldwide, including New Zealand, the Netherlands, and other European Union countries. Advocate Huey Johnson has introduced them to parts of the United States, believing they are crucial for managing Climate Change.

The Netherlands' National Environmental Policy Plan (NEPP), adopted in 1989, is the longest-running example. Despite facing severe environmental problems like congestion and heavy industry, the country achieved significant recovery in under 20 years through its implementation.

The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.

Maanit Goel, 17, from Washington State, learned about the critically endangered Southern Resident orcas. Only 75 remain in the Salish Sea, threatened by declining Chinook salmon, their primary food source, in the Snake River-Columbia River system.

In 2021, Goel founded the Washington Youth Ocean & River Conservation Alliance (WYORCA) to mobilize youth. WYORCA advocates removing four lower Snake River dams, impeding salmon migration and harming orcas. Goel argues renewable energy shouldn't sacrifice a keystone species. With 30 volunteers, WYORCA educated over 6,000 students, held 20+ congressional meetings, and coordinated events. The group earned Congressional recognition and an EPA award; Goel also spoke at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15).

Rowan Byrne, a Marine Biologist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, will discuss ocean plastics, explaining their impact on marine life and civilization. His extensive career includes shark research, sea turtle conservation, and pioneering satellite tracking of leatherback turtles from Dominica to Ireland.

As Marine Plastics Lead for Mott MacDonald, Rowan drives global research and solutions for marine plastic challenges. He champions collaboration with industry and governments to integrate environmental considerations. His work earned him the IEMA Sustainability Leader of the Year Award in 2020 and media recognition for installing Seabins at Howth Harbour.

Published on June 18, 2015, by Democracy Now, this report covers Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment and climate change. In the encyclical (available to download here), Pope Francis called for urgent action to protect the planet, urging leaders to hear "the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor." He emphasized a moral imperative for all to safeguard the environment, advocating for a shift from a "throwaway" consumer culture in rich countries and an end to attitudes that prioritize profit over the common good. A key theme is the disparity between rich and poor, with the Pope noting the vast difference between those in "desperate and degrading poverty" and those with excessive possessions.

The discussion features Naomi Klein, author of "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate," who was invited to speak at the Vatican's "People and Planet First: The Imperative to Change Course" conference. Also joining is Nathan Schneider, a columnist at America magazine, a national Catholic weekly published by the Jesuits.

Dave Courchene's dream conveys a Grandfather's urgent message: profound Earth changes are imminent. Humanity must prepare for a simple, spiritual life, detached from technology that harms the land. He observes current global conditions reflect an unsustainable path of selfishness and greed, necessitating a fundamental shift towards kindness, compassion, and sharing for a "New Life."

Indigenous peoples, faithful to original instructions of love and care for Earth, are called to lead this transformation. Their wisdom centers on the Seven Sacred Laws—Respect, Love, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility, and Truth—each exemplified by an animal. Living these laws on Turtle Island is vital for peace, freedom, and universal alignment, offering a vision of hope for humanity.
