The Law That Saved Wolves, Grizzlies, and Bald Eagles Is Under Threat
The Endangered Species Act has a 99% success record at preventing extinction. It brought back the bald eagle, the gray whale, and the grizzly bear — and today protects over 1,700 species. But Congress is attempting to gut it. HR 1897 would transfer listing decisions from scientists to politicians, putting sea otters, manatees, and hammerhead sharks at risk of losing their only protection.
Sign the Petition →Whales, Dolphins, and Sea Otters Need Your Voice Right Now
The humpback whale, the gray whale, the sea otter — these species came back from the brink of extinction because of strong conservation laws and because people cared enough to fight for them. Now those same protections are under attack. The ESA Amendments Act of 2025 alongside threats to the Marine Mammal Protection Act could strip away the legal shield keeping these magnificent animals alive.
Sign the Petition →Endangered Animals Should Never Be Trophies
The ProTECT Act of 2025 (H.R. 1934) would prohibit hunting any endangered or threatened species in the United States and ban the import of trophies from these animals. Endangered species need every single individual to survive. A trophy hunt doesn't just take one animal — it can devastate an entire population's chance of recovery.
Sign the Petition →Sharks Have Survived 450 Million Years — Don't Let Us Be Their Extinction
Sharks have been swimming our oceans for 450 million years — longer than the dinosaurs. But several species are now critically endangered, and the proposed weakening of the Endangered Species Act could strip away their only legal protection. Healthy shark populations mean healthy oceans — and healthy oceans mean a healthy planet for our children.
