2011 Annual Report
The Center had an exciting 2011. We made a landmark agreement that will speed protection decisions for 757 struggling animals and plants — a watershed moment in Endangered Species Act history. Other major victories included pushing for a 20-year ban on new Grand Canyon uranium mining, winning 2.2 million acres of critical habitat, beating back an “extinction rider” in Congress that would have slashed the budget for species protection, defending polar bears' protected status and stopping the killing of Oregon wolves — and we won't stop there. We're looking forward to telling you about all our 2012 wins, too.

Five Years Later: Polar Bears Still On Thin Ice
After long, hard work begun by the Center, the Arctic's great white polar bears won federal protection in 2008. But today, our new report shows, they still struggle to survive.

   

On Time, On Target: How the Endangered Species Act Is Saving America's Wildlife
Our study of 110 imperiled species finds that 90 percent of species are recovering right on time because of the Endangered Species Act. This is a must-read about the Act.

   

2012 In Review, Looking Ahead
Read about our historic successes in 2012 — including the protection of 31.5 million acres of critical habitat — and a look ahead at the Center’s action plan for 2013: defending wolves, defeating the fracking boom, breaking precedent to save our endangered oceans and more.
