The Center for Biological Diversity is an effective, efficient and successful advocate for wildlife and their habitats--just exactly what I want them to be as a supporter of the organization. As a professional wildlife photographer and very active advocate for wildlife myself, I'm proud to be a small part of their work through my DVDs and books, as well as with my cash donations.

I totally support the work that the Center for Biological Diversity does. Out of all of the organizations I support during the year, they are always at the top of my list. They are consistent, professional, knowledgeable about the issues and they get done what needs to be done! Their newsletters are informative and make it easy for me to sign the petitions knowing that I am putting my name to something that has been thoroughly explored, with goals and options clear. Thank you Center for Biological Diversity!

I belong to a number of environmental organizations, and receive their emails.. When I open the emails from the Center for Biological Diversity I always see the most positive, forward thinking actions, actions which make a huge difference. I am stunned each time by the contents of the emails. They truly act on their beliefs, strategically making the best cases for our natural world. If I had only one environmental group to support, it would be this one. Moreover, I learned about their work on Culebra, PR, when I stumbled upon a study they were doing for their much endangered tropical corals. Their persistence and wisdom, scientific research and results are of the highest caliber.

When I was on Culebra PR I met members of the Center for Biological Diversity who were actively assisting a local non-profit on the Island, CORALations. Their expertise and willingness to help went beyond the call in assisting this small island's fight to maintain its biodiversity and the corals which are so endangered.
As a professional with experience in land protection, I was highly impressed with this organization and its on the ground staff.

The Center for Biological Diversity sends out the most informative, concise, and hard-hitting newsletter of all the environmental organizations. In a short read, you can take action with lawmakers and also learn the latest on species rights and individual populations in trouble. They take action, and they do not wait until it is too late. I am a PhD biologist and I appreciate their no-nonsense approach. Their motto is "Because Life is Good".

The Center for Biological Diversity is one of the leaders in this country for taking decisive action to save endangered species. Without their work, hundreds of species would be extinct or going extinct, and corporations would go unchecked in their development and destruction of endangered species habitat.
I was particularly impressed with their work with the oil spill in the Gulf. They were instrumental in uncovering the government collusion before and during the spill, and in being effective watchdogs during the cleanup process.

The Center's newsletter provides one of the very few places where one can find out the details of what is really happening. In an age where sound bites dominate the major news outlets, the Center for Biological Diversity is an essential source of information to keep democracy functioning and give imperiled species a chance at continuing to survive.

I enjoy every newsletter! Very informative read! Stories of hope, success, and action. Easy to use website allows me to share with others important information and actions to take. I can't express how important organizations such as this are in defending the earth's precious abundance. In today's society, legal action is a successful means of peaceful protection of what we need and love, from the careless greed of corporations and senseless destruction of everything beautiful and sacred. I love everything about the Center for Biological Diversity and if I won the lottery I just might give them most of it.
