TRUMP ACTION TOOLKIT: Ready to Fight Trump? Start here.
With President Trump in the White House, people power will be more important than ever. That's where you come in. When people rise up and speak with one voice, our power multiplies, and with it our ability to enact change. Trump will be a disaster for our planet, wildlife and the civil rights of people across the country. So the Center launched this Trump Action Toolkit as a fast and easy way to stand up for what's right. Start by signing our pledge of resistance against Trump's radical assault on America's democracy, civil rights and environment — and learn other ways to join our ranks against the destruction to come. The fight is on.

Nuestro Trabajo en México
Mexico hosts a stunning array of species, but too many are imperiled. The Center just opened an office in La Paz to help save sea turtles, vaquitas and other wildlife in trouble. Read about our Mexico work en español or in English.
Historic Agreement for 757 Species
So far more than 100 species have won protection following our historic 2011 settlement compelling the feds to make progress on safeguarding 757 of the country's most imperiled, least protected species. More species are nearing protection now.
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. Read our report.
