Very useful weekly newsletter with short summaries and links to longer stories. Always some fun news at the end, such as this week's "spooky species of All Hallows' Eve". Also has frequent petitions to sign so people can do something about the problems they read about.

Thank goodness for the Center For Biological Diversity - they do an excellent job of keeping me informed of important issues, make it easy for my voice to be heard and always go above and beyond to fight for injustice of those with no voice - I've never once received an email that I felt was an unimportant issue

It's hard to know where to begin to praise the Center for Biological Diversity. From their beginnings in the Southwest, they have expanded to fill a critical niche in environmental protection, the leading advocate for protection of plants and animals by the Endangered Species Act. They have done this so well and their on-board expertise is so great that many other nonprofits rely on them and partner with the Center. As a citizen, biologist and long-time environmental advocate, they also make it easy for me to put my voice to work on behalf of wolves, jaguars, and sticlebacks. For the past two years I have relied on the action alert pages of their website to get letters, emails and calls out to a wide spectrum of policy makers and influence everything from pipelines to countering attempts to weaken the ESA. It is the legal teeth given to the people through this Act that they have leveraged to maximum effect. The Center is so effective at prodding reluctant state and federal agencies to carry out their mandates that they have come to have impacts far beyond their budget class. As a desert lover and sometimes desert rat I value their work, but their campaigns now encompass everything from climate change to oceans to urban wildlands. The Center for Biological Diversity fights for our co-inhabitants of planet earth at a time when we humans are using more than 50% of the earth's land surface for our own needs and greed. With an expanding population, the Center's role will be even more important as we move deeper into the 21st century.

I am a member of many animal rights and environmental organizations. The Center for Biological Diversity is the most dynamic, relentless and effective non-profit I've experienced. Their successful litigation and ongoing advocacy for biodiversity is very impressive.

Center for Biological Diversity is my all-time favorite organization, so much so that I'm leaving them my estate. They promote legislation that preserves habitat and protects species. They helped to broker the new Endangered Species Act with the Fish & Wildlife Service. They effectively and efficiently enact lasting change. This is an organization that really gets things done; they put their money to good use.

I hold this organization in high esteem because their email newsletters are always factual, educational, non-inflammatory and because they actually get change accomplished through the numerous lawsuits they initiate to save wildlife habitat. Too many organizations have a lot of contests and programs but don't seem to get real change enacted. Center for Biological Diversity is exactly the opposite--no flash or bling, just real change saving habitat. I appreciate their service. No other organization does what they do.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
becoming better educated about impact of human endeavors on wildlife habitat through the emails.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
that they aren't always soliciting money, that they have calls to action to allow my voice to be heard on an issue, and that they accomplish real change.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
I haven't met anyone from this organization.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make the world a much better place and make an impact on global warming by getting governments to formally designate various areas as wildlife habitat.

My name is Marta and I live in NYC with my family. Originally I came from Europe where I grew up among forests and wild life in a small village. Since coming to NYC I have been able to hear more about what happens in the world in relation to the climate change, species extinction and overuse of resources and general for -profit destruction of vulnerable ecosystems. As a biologist who now works in public health I understand the importance of the fight that Center for Biological Diversity has undertaken to make sure that we and our government does everything in its power to address climate change issues, prevent species extinction and make sure that financial profits are not above the perseverance of ecosystems that are supporting and will support our and our children's and grandchildren's life’s for generations to come. Center for Biological Diversity has been the fearless white knight for the battle to preserve our world for us and countless plant and animal species. Great organization with huge impact!

Center for Biological Diversity has brought many issues facing our environment and us as a human race to the forefront through media and their legal campaigns. Their action alerts on many issues have made it easy to contact legislators, newspaper editors and others with just a click of a button. I am proud to be a member of this organization and I know that my donation is not only used wisely but for a great purpose.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing their how their actions in protection animals give us the opportunity to see them in the environments that these animals live in and not only in zoos.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
not make any changes at this point. They are doing a great job!

The Center for Biological Diversity is an organization promotes a sophisticated look at the thin skin of life on this planet. Human hubris steadily depletes this world of the wild and wonderful. The Center was among the first to focus on the horrific effects of climate change on life, and attempted to integrate species protection plans with this topic. Furthermore, they understand that women controlling their reproductive lives goes hand in hand with protecting life on this planet. There is a parallel between women's lack of power and a culture of annihilating weaker forms of life. This organization bravely addresses both, and together, hopefully improves each. Also, their legal successes have inspired me to go to law school, focusing on environmental law. This organization has literally change my life and understanding of fighting the good fight.
