One of the planet’s largest populations of brown bears could endure an imminent crisis thanks to a soon-to-be built gold and copper mine. The destructive mining project would poison Alaskan brown bears and threaten their food supply. Demand a reversal of course on this potentially devastating proposal.
Thousands of migrating shorebirds are being shot down by hunters in China each season, not only ending their lives, but interrupting their breeding patterns. This could lead to many extinctions, especially as two of the species being targeted are critically endangered. Urge the Chinese government to put a stop to this hunting immediately.
Alaska’s brown bear population could be wiped out by a controversial proposed gold and copper mine. This mine would destroy thousands of acres of land and stream, exposing the bears to massive amounts of pollution and robbing them of their food supply. Urge the company behind this project to cancel it immediately.
An elephant was shot four times, disemboweled, and stripped of tusks in a protected wildlife sanctuary. A poacher likely shot the animal for profit, despite strong restrictions against such cruelty. Demand that this poacher is punished severely for the protection of all local animals.
Uganda’s government will soon remove encroaching farms, mines, and factories
from its wetlands and lakes, preserving threatened species from extinction and giving conservationists the opportunity to better understand rare animals. Congratulate the minister responsible for his decisive action.
Australia’s government has committed to spending millions of dollars to aid in the protection of wildlife affected by recent bushfires. This is a huge step forward for the overall continent, which has a poor track record in handling wildlife crises due to climate change and the logging industry. Sign this petition to thank the government for taking this important step.
The endangered monk seal has been given a second chance at a former prison island turned conservation paradise. The island has been repurposed to provide the perfect protected habitat for a species threatened by hunting, fishing, and coastal development. Thank those responsible for this conservation success.
The Humboldt marten faces extinction due to logging, pelt hunting, and illegal marijuana farms. It has waited ten years for protection. Demand that it finally be added to the endangered species list.
The small Nashville crayfish faces certain extinction at the hands of urbanization and pollution. It needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act now more than ever. Demand that the species not be removed from the endangered species list.

Mountain gorillas could be driven to the brink of extinction once again by the coronavirus, after decades of conservationists’ hard work to protect and preserve the species. The gorillas are not only vulnerable to the disease, but a lack of eco-tourism due to social distancing could lead to poachers hunting them for money again. Urge African governments to prevent the loss of these gorillas.
The island marble butterfly, after facing near extinction, has finally been granted the protections it deserves. Thank the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for taking actions to protect the species.

A rare bumblebee has seen its population decline by over 90 percent. Demand that the bee be afforded protections under the Endangered Species Act to save it from extinction.
A newly discovered black iguana already faces extinction. Demand that immediate action be taken to protect this species from harvest, hunting, and habitat loss.
A helpless baby duck was thrown off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from a moving vehicle. Demand the investigation continue until this person is found and that he receive the strictest legal sentence if he is guilty of this thoughtless crime.
Roughly 60 greylag geese were slaughtered by the English Football Association. This is just another example of the United Kingdom’s habit of resorting to culls much too quickly. Demand the UK revoke all goose-shooting licenses immediately.
