I give because the Center for Biodiversity doesn't compromise; sticks it out while larger national environmental organizations prioritize protecting their brand and cave to opposition; produces results and gets much done with very few resources. The Center doesn't rely on celebrity endorsements. They focus on building strong legal arguments and have essentially enforced the Endangered Species Act for the past two decades. They protect creatures and plants I've never even heard of. I contribute to their campaigns because they're the real deal.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
They beat Bush and protected the Polar Bear. They don't pander to Obama. Their condom campaign is brave enough to address the overpopulation crisis. The Center's smart, and they're not afraid to sex it up when the times call for it.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Watching them not back down when other groups with name recognition pander to the Democrats. I really appreciate all their work on Tejon Ranch in Los Angeles.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Too busy to offer one on one education. Rely on the website too much.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Take the 350 campaign to the next effort and really pressure world leaders to enact meaningful changes and laws to address climate change.
Ways to make it better...
They schedule member events to meet fellow supporter. I get "too busy" a lot to my requests for more info. It's because they leverage funds to maximize fiduciary responsibilities. But my experience would improve if there were events to attend.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
They need more contributions and to keep out of mainstream press so the focus stays on litigation and enforcement strategies.
One thing I'd also say is that...
They've fought the battles, out of the public eye, while national groups with more money and staff use the Center's work in their direct mail campaigns. Don't be fooled, the Polar Bear lawsuit was the Center's work. List them on your Facebook.

If it wasn't for the hard work of the Center of Biological Diversity, beautiful and rare species, wildlife, wildspaces, bodies of water and the Earth in general will be in peril leaving havoc and a dark existence for the inhabitants of the Earth both human and wild.

I am very impressed by what they accomplish in the courts. If they didn't exist, the government & big businesses would destroy everything. They are a vital check to all who have the power to take and/or destroy our environment.

I'm with an Alaska-based conservation group here in Alaska, so I am familiar with how difficult success can be in this arena. That the CBD has a 93% success rate is astounding to me (and a source of considerable envy, too). I rarely join other groups as I have to watch my pennies and tend to send them mainly to my organization. But I made an exception when it came to the CBD. They are worth every penny I send and then some!
The Great!

Contacting their Anchorage office in regards to issues my group is involved with.

Sue the pants off the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, a group seeking to kill as many Alaskan wolves as possible with the state's help.

I so believe in this organization, that they're in my will. I'm so thankful that someone will take on these tough issues. If it weren't for people this dedicated, our beautiful blue green ball would look like the face of the moon.

This group is a science based no nonsense organization dedicated to strong conservation measures. I'm drawn to their no frills membership, knowing that almost all my donation goes to their agenda. I'm especially pleased with their efforts to curb human over population and its impact.

We've found the Center for Biological Diversity to be an effective advocate for the protection and preservation of wildlife and their habitats. In addition, this organization is able to move quickly and effectively when new threats to wildlife are discovered. While the group is known for its legal battles, it does not limit its advocacy to court, but employs diverse and sundry approaches to finding solutions to problems. We're proud to be supporters of the Center for Biological Diversity.
