SAVE OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS FROM TRUMP
Trump's attack on our national monuments is hitting high gear. After first putting a bull's-eye on Utah's Bears Ears, he's now lining up the rest of his targets. The 27 monuments on the chopping block cover more than 1 billion acres of America's most spectacular, culturally important and ecologically intact public lands and oceans. The places they protect range from the waters off the coast of Hawaii to Maine's Katahdin woods.
By ordering Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to "review" these national monuments, Trump has made clear his intent: to rescind or shrink the monuments and open them up to oil and gas drilling and other forms of development. Please tell Trump that his executive order and unprecedented "review" are immoral and dangerous — and help us keep our monuments protected for future generations.

Embattled Borderlands: Story Map
The Center has joined with the Borderlands Project, the International League of Conservation Photographers and others in launching a story-map project that combines stunning photography with cutting-edge mapping and research to tell the story of the border wall and its harm.
Public Lands Enemies
This Center report analyzes 132 bills part of a concerted effort by 15 U.S. senators and representatives, backed by extractive industries, to privatize our public lands — putting at risk hundreds of thousands of acres held in the public trust and home to diverse native wildlife.
Restoring the Gray Wolf
The Center is fighting hard to help all U.S. gray wolves get back the protections they need to recover in habitat across the country. Losing safeguards brings progress to a grinding halt.

Fighting Back Against Trump’s War on Science
Sound science is more important than ever for protecting biodiversity and the lands, waters and climate we all need to survive — but Trump is waging a war on science that’s putting people and the planet at risk. The Center has no choice but to fight — learn more and join us.
The Politics of Extinction
Despite its success, the Endangered Species Act is under attack like never before. Congressional Republicans have launched a barrage of legislative assaults on endangered species in recent years, seeking to block, remove or weaken their protections.
