The Center for Biological Diversity is working to protect the biosphere. That means all endangered forms of life, not just the cute or attractive ones. The danger comes from human activity, and the center is fearless and effective in taking on corporate wrongdoing and government complacency in this regard. In addition, they are one of the few environmental groups to emphasize the link between human overpopulation and degradation of the biosphere.

They don't take corporate money, and therefore are not compromised, as are other environmental groups, including the Sierra Club. Kudos.

The Center for Biological Diversity is fundamental in the fight to protect endangered and threatened species, by its keen, ardent, and tough legal challenges to governmental regulators, which have forced major actions to help vulnerable species in their essential at-risk habitats. The Center is aware, persistent, and tough. Moreover, the Center has educational outreach efforts that are insightful and engaging, which give the public information and bring people into participatiion for well-targeted nature conservation. Unfortunately, such a hard-hitting approach is a role critcal to moving forward many conservation efforts. The Center is a key operator in this arena. I've over 30 years of experience in this field to back up my praise here.

Center for Biological Diversity is on top of issues you don't even hear about with other environmental organizations, and doing things the others are doing as well. I've been very impressed with their effectiveness, and their willingness to say it like it is without worrying about losing some big corporate donor. Effective, efficient, and energized, this nonprofit is a powerhouse.

When I donate to The Center for Biological Diversity I feel like I've put my money in the hands of an organization that will make a difference. I trust them and it's always a thrill to read that they've taken corporations or government to court and won. I really feel like The Center makes a difference and making the changes that I want to see. They are preserving our earth and saving our fellow species. They are voicing and enforcing the will of the people.

My appreciation for the Center for Biological Diversity runs deep. The good that they do to protect all the wonderful creatures gives me hope for the future.

The Center for Biological Diversity remains the primary avenue through which the US can make a difference for our planet and all of the species on it, including man. While we undergo the largest extinction event since the dinosaurs, the Center fights every day to hold the line on the losses we face. In addition to their ongoing work, they have made it not only possible but easy for all of us to become activists for the causes we support through the "take action" feature of their website. They are my heroes in every way!

The Center for Biological Diversity has enabled me to become an active member of our democracy. With their assistance I have been actively involved in decision-making that I believe in strongly - protection of our environment. The online newsletter keeps me aware of issues that I need and want to know about in addition to doing the footwork so that my voice can be heard by the appropriate people. If I had to find the contact information for each of these messages I would never have the time or energy to weigh in. They are helping us all to protect the environment on our Earth and making America a better place to live. Talk about making a difference -- one would be hard pressed to find an organization that does it so well!

CBD has an outstandingly ethical approach to protecting the natural world. No corporate connections and the courage to speak truth to power, describing things exactly as they are. I love them dearly.

As I understand it, the Center for Biological Diversity primarily uses a strategy of protecting individual species and their habitats to promote the environmental health of the planet overall. They use legal means to force the government and others to obey the laws already on the books, joining with other environmental and conservation groups in specific campaigns when a united front is the best way to make the greatest impact. They keep their membership well-educated on the issues and encourage us to speak up personally when they feel that approach is helpful. I had reason to contact CBD recently by e-mail with some concerns and I was pleased to receive a prompt, responsive reply from a real person, who clearly was knowledgeable and caring. For decades, I supported many environmental and conservation organizations, and I continue to do so. But only recently did I discover CBD and I am proud to be able to assist in a small way in their important work.

I support the Center for Biological Diversity because they are about the only environmental group to take on human population growth as one of the gravest threats to the planet.
