BREAKING: Our attorneys at @centerforbiodiv have filed an emergency injunction to prevent SpaceX from privatizing 727 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

South Texas has limited public land, with only 5 percent of native habitat remaining in the Rio Grande Valley, and even less is publicly accessible. The local communities, wildlife, and Indigenous nations should not have to sacrifice more land for the profit of one of the wealthiest corporations.

Stay tuned and follow us for updates on this ongoing public lands fight.

The Center for Biological Diversity is taking legal action against the Trump administration for attempting to weaken crucial habitat protections under the Endangered Species Act. Without these protections, endangered species face increased risks of extinction, as the administration downplays the impact of habitat destruction on wildlife.

As a nonprofit organization based in Tucson, Arizona, we advocate for the preservation of biodiversity, believing that human welfare is intertwined with the health of our natural world. We aim to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. For more information, visit our website or connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

The Trump administration's changes to the Endangered Species Act have removed crucial habitat protections for endangered wildlife by redefining "harm" and rescinding the blanket rule that offered equal protections for threatened species. This rule, which prohibited actions that could kill or injure these species or destroy their habitats, was initially repealed in 2019 and reinstated in 2024.

We need your voice to urge Congress to restore these essential protections. This fight extends beyond endangered wildlife; it encompasses the environmental laws that safeguard us all. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of extinction, and we cannot save species without protecting their homes. At the Center, we are committed to defending our environmental laws and will not back down.

Endangered species need habitats to survive, yet the Trump administration has weakened protections under the Endangered Species Act by removing the definition of "harm." This change threatens the survival of over 1,000 species, including wolves, grizzly bears, and bald eagles.

The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting this decision in court to protect the Act and the species it supports. Without these protections, activities like logging and mining could more easily invade the last homes of vulnerable wildlife.

We are suing the Trump administration for attempting to weaken crucial habitat protections under the Endangered Species Act. Without these protections, endangered species face increased risks of extinction.

The administration's claims that habitat destruction does not harm wildlife, such as spotted owls and whooping cranes, are misleading and ignore scientific evidence. We have successfully defended this law in the past and are prepared to do so again. Join us at the link in our bio.

The Trump administration has significantly weakened the Endangered Species Act, posing a severe threat to already vulnerable species. Habitat destruction, the primary cause of extinction, is exacerbated by the removal of these vital protections, which have historically preserved forests, rivers, and essential habitats for wildlife.

This rollback paves the way for increased logging, mining, and drilling in critical areas for endangered species. The Center for Biological Diversity is committed to challenging this decision in court, advocating for the protection of wildlife and natural ecosystems for future generations.

Shorebirds nesting near SpaceX's launch site in South Texas face serious threats. The Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, crucial for these birds and other species, has been impacted by rocket explosions that scatter debris, ignite wildfires, and damage habitats.

A 2024 study revealed that all monitored shorebird nests near the launch site experienced egg damage or loss after a launch. Despite this, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to transfer 715 acres of this protected refuge to SpaceX, rather than holding the company accountable. We are suing to prevent this harmful land swap and protect vital wildlife habitats from further destruction.
