Center for Biological Diversity Inc

I keep up with what the Center is doing via their newsletter, and their many petitions towards protecting our wild lands and creatures.
I very much appreciate the knowledge I receive via both the newsletter and the petitions regarding the various threatened and endangered species and what is happening with their populations and environments, as well as regulations regarding the animals and their habitats.
I appreciate the Center's hard work in protecting our environment and its inhabitants! We need more organizations like the Center to ensure our environment remains habitable for both humans and wildlife.
Thank you Center for Biological Diversity!

CFBD is the boots on the ground infantry fighting on the front lines of battle
for wildlife and environmental protection. Future generations will be grateful for the work they are doing today. They are in my life insurance policy as a beneficiary.

The Center for Biological Diversity is one of my all-time favorite organizations. Almost every time I read an article about a conservation project or a group threatening wildlife and/or the environment, the Center is mentioned as a proponent for our earth and an opponent to those wishing to do it harm. I’ve been a member for years, and I have never seen signs of pandering or failing to pursue their ideals. I’ve never been offered a “free gift” or address labels/note pads for my donations, which implies to me that every possible portion of my donations is going to the cause, not the organization. I would like to give more to the Center each year, and will certainly be putting them in my estate plans.

Here's to the Center! The staff is unwavering in their tenaciousness and dedication to saving the Earth and its inhabitants. Their accomplishments make me so proud to be a supporter and give me strength and faith to fight at a local level.

I have been a supporter of the Center for Biological Diversity for over 20 years. They are relentless in their pursuit of protection for endangered species. Their yearly accomplishments are stunningly impressive. Their staff is committed and respond comprehensively to any inquiries for further information.

The Center for Biological Diversity is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to protecting the incredible diversity of species that call our planet home. Their dedication to safeguarding wildlife, wild places, and the ecosystems we all depend on is unmatched. From fighting to protect endangered species to holding corporations and policymakers accountable, the Center consistently steps up for the planet's most vulnerable creatures—and for us.

I’m continually inspired by their tireless advocacy and bold action. Their legal victories, science-backed initiatives, and grassroots campaigns make a real difference. Supporting their work feels like one of the most impactful ways to help protect the interconnected web of life we’re all a part of.

I admire and wholeheartedly support what they do, and I encourage everyone to join their efforts. If you care about wildlife, ecosystems, and the future of our planet, the Center for Biological Diversity is a cause worth rallying behind.

When it comes to saving threatened and endangered species, nobody does it better than the Center for Biological Diversity. They take on the task of protecting iconic species like polar bears, wolves and grizzlies but are just as passionate about species you never heard of, like Black Creek crayfish and giant clams (and plants galore). They use science, law and creative social media to advance their lifesaving work and famously secure habitat for creatures great and small, which then benefits hundreds of other creatures (including humans), making them the most effective organization in this arena. I've been a longtime donor of the Center, and continue to admire their fierce and effective efforts to save life on earth.

This organization does what it says it will do. It contacts legislators and secretaries with petitions. It takes those who foul our natural resources to court. It delivers justice for the animals that have no voice.

Newsletters are informative and timely. They also have a great website.

As good as they come in fighting anti-environmental forces, and I am eternally grateful to them for their stellar work!

I'm a proud, long-time member of The Center for Biological Diversity. This organization really knows how to defend and protect wildlife. They are not afraid to fight for justice, they put their money where it's most needed and will make the most difference. I trust them 100% to get the job done. most importantly they truly understand that extinction is forever and there is No Plant B. If you're looking to make a real difference, please join The Center for Biological Diversity. Thank you for reading this...

One of the best environmental protection nonprofits out there. So much great work and relentless advocacy for the natural world. There may be bigger, better funded organizations but none does a better job than the Center for Biological Diversity.

I am glad to support the Center for Biological Diversity monthly. They do amazing work around the world saving the plants, animals, and earth and oceans we all share. I so appreciate that they know the big picture and fight effectively so all can benefit. We need 100 more great groups like them!! Thank you

An excellent non profit organisation. Center for Biological Diversity does inspirational work to avert climate change, promote biodiversity, fight pollution and many more things to help save the planet and all the life it supports.

I am a huge supporter of the Center of Biological Diversity. They care deeply about the species we share this planet with. They call for you to add your voice to the fight. They fight for the animal’s lives and the life of the planet. They will sue when agencies are going against their word or when there is imminent danger to wildlife.

They will report the good news about how they have been able to help certain species. They even sponsor community murals to help raise awareness of endangered animals. (On their website there are coloring pages of endangered animals!)

I could go on. I highly recommend going to their website to learn more. They even have a great website!

I like getting daily news and stories from The Center for Biological Diversity in my inbox. I also like the way it’s set up so that you can just add your name to a petition for a specific cause which I do regularly which shows that this company cares about the animals and environment and aren’t just in it for the money. I will keep supporting this organization with feedback, petition signing and donations as long as I can.

I've been a monthly donor for years and give more each year. Protecting ecosystems and wildlife are my prime concerns and I've grown to trust and depend on CBD. I'm amazed by how many issues they are involved with, from making sure huge new developments are stopped before they destroy more ecosystems, to fighting for every living being from the smallest plant to the animal I care so much about - WOLVES. They are effective and they are always there!!! Go CBD!!!

I subscribed for the newsletter of the NGO several years ago and sign all the international petitions from here in Germany and post them and also donation requests on X (previously Twitter) and Quora as well as updates on wildlife and the environment. I never had any kids, but I want GenZ and later generations to know wildlife from real life, not only from books.
Center For Biological Diversity fights exactly for that purpose, to preserve biodiversity in animals and plants, I love the NGO.

I have been a member, of activist for, and monthly contributor to this fantastic organization for many years. The staff is extremely committed to the protection of wildlife, wildlife habitat, and especially endangered species, as well as addressing the impacts of how our population actions and food choices have on all of this..
The staff is also very responsive to make questions and requests for updates on a respective on-going actions. They are committed to getting issues for the protection of wildlife and their habitat resolved, even if it takes many years. And, they don't just focus on well-known species, they truly focus on the full realm of biological diversity and they are very effective. These are just some of the reasons why I have chosen the Center for Biological Diversity as my number one organization to contribute to and act for.

The are also very diverse in what they do and the communications which they provide through their regular publications of "Endangered Earth", Food-X", "Pop-X", and "The Revelator", and numerous Bioactivist action emails.
All of these publications are extremely thorough, informative, and well written. I look forward to all of them and act accordingly.

They are such an important and effective organization. Wildlife and I would be lost without them.

I don't live in the US, but I'm filled with admiration for the Centre for Biological Diversity, how they operate and for their determination. Their actions focus on all angles to defend and fight for the survival of tiny plant species all the way to whales and elephants. They also have a great educational team and I've learned so much about creatures as diverse as tiny fish, newts and salamanders, to endangered birds and all types of wolves.
Without their actions, I'm certain that many more essential habitats would have disappeared without trace. They're well worth supporting if you care about our planet and the environment.

The Center for Biological Diversity is the most comprehensive and up to date environmental organizations out there. Signing petitions is a matter of a touch of a button. They make it so easy and straightforward such that one can't not make a difference, or turn away from an opportunity to make a difference. Thank you for that! From one lover of Nature to another ~ join CBD today. Don't wait another minute. Earth needs you, it needs all of us!

The Center for Biological Diversity is one of the most effective organizations advocating on behalf of environmental issues that I’m aware of. I follow the work of numerous environmental organizations and the Center stands heads and shoulders above all of them. I’ve been a monthly donor for several years and plan to continue indefinitely.

The Center for Biological Diversity is the real deal. It pursues a wide range of incredibly worthwhile (and often urgent) ecological goals in a well-researched and well-judged way, and its professionalism and determination always stand out. The United States is lucky to have the C.B.D.. There appears to be no equivalent organisation as good as this in other countries.

The Center for Biological Diversity never backs down from a fight and has had many, many environmental wins over the years. With things looking bleak due to trump 2.0, I at least feel better knowing that the Center will continue fighting those who want to destroy our natural resources for profits. They really deserve more than five stars!

There truly is no other group like it. The Center for Biological Diversity has my full trust and confidence: as mentioned, it has made more progress saving endangered species and endangered places than any other non-profit that I am aware of. I am a proud supporter, and know that our planet would be in even more trouble if it weren’t for their extensive and ubiquitous work. They truly “get it”

These people are very hard working. They bring all injustices that are occuring in the natural world everywhere to light.
I have learned new things from this organization that better expands my understanding of the place for all species in the natural world.
I think this is one of the better donation sites I have seen.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you!

The Center has made more progress saving endangered species and endangered places than any other non-profit that I am aware of. Thank you Center for Biological Diversity!

They make things happen! They take action, connect the right decision makers, scientists, government agencies, and for profit entities. I have been a supporter for 7+ years and have been impressed with their efficiency and laser focus. So much so that I've been periodically reviewing their Career site to see if there's an opportunity to join them! :)

I consider the Center for Biological Diversity the best non-profit organization for helping nature in N. America. They are doggedly determined to help, protect, and save an amazing list of creatures large and small, plants, wildflowers, wildlife habitat, endangered species...from snails to whales. You can't go wrong with this group.

I am a proud supporter of the Center because they "get it." They get how human population pressure and our seemingly insatiable gluttony for animal products are responsible for the demise of our planet, our animal cousins and, ultimately, ourselves. I love signing and sharing their petitions. They are educational and give people satisfaction knowing they are able to make a difference.

The Center for Biological Diversity is THE BEST. They fight long and hard to win protections for endangered species and places. The usually succeed! They have my utmost respect and admiration are included in my estate plans and other, frequent charitable donations. Trust them to always DO THE RIGHT THING for wildlife and our precious places.

Several studies have shown that family planning and gender empowerment strategies, if implemented globally, would reduce annual GHG emissions. A 2017 study showed that voluntarily lowering fertility rates through strategies such as improved healthcare, education, and economic opportunity for women and girls would result in a 35% reduction in emissions by 2100. Project Drawdown notes that improving the health and education of women and girls globally would better equip them for the climate crisis with the side effect of saving 85 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent due to slowing population growth.

Gender empowerment and education initiatives are often seen as solutions that are only applicable to low-wealth countries, but improving gender equity in the United States — one of the world’s highest consuming countries — could have a substantial environmental impact. Yet people in the United States face barriers to choosing if and when they want to have children. Policymakers can remove these barriers by supporting universal access to voluntary modern family planning methods (including oral contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraception, condoms and emergency contraception); LGBTQIA+ inclusive, culturally responsive and medically accurate comprehensive sexual education; and affordable sexual and reproductive healthcare, including abortion, that allows individuals to have agency and autonomy over their bodies. Additional solutions include supporting educational opportunities, redefining gender roles, creating equitable opportunities for women and LGBTQIA+ people, and guaranteeing safety from harassment and violence.

Although the connection between population growth and the climate crisis can be controversial, we need to talk about it. The public agrees: Through a large national survey conducted by the Center in 2020, we learned that more than 60% of people believe the climate crisis is a very or critically important issue, just behind healthcare. Climate change is being cited by young people as a reason to have fewer children. According to a 2018 New York Times poll, men and women aged 20-45 are having fewer children than their ideal number because 33% are worried about climate change and 27% are worried about population growth. In the Center’s survey, 33% of respondents somewhat or strongly agreed that, “Climate change compels Americans to choose to have fewer children.” By breaking the taboo of talking about sex, family planning, abortion, and other reproductive health topics, we can better advocate for reproductive rights and justice while supporting people who are already bringing concerns about our climate future into their family planning decisions.

There is a clear need for gender empowerment solutions that are lacking in governmental, corporate and organizational policies. In a 2021 “World Scientists’ Warning” study, a review of 212 climate mitigation policy commentaries found that population and social justice appeared less frequently than other solutions like energy, food and the economy. A 2022 Center study showed that gender equity solutions are missing from municipal climate plans, despite the fact that women and gender-diverse people are disproportionately affected by climate change.

The pressure of population growth makes it harder to meet emissions-reduction targets while magnifying climate change’s detrimental consequences on humans and other species. While addressing population growth is a long-term mitigation strategy, there are also short-term adaptation benefits, including improved health care, empowerment and other positive social outcomes.

If you donate to just one environmental organization,, it should be the Center for Biological Diversity. They are totally focused on making the world a better place for natural systems, habitats that comprise them, and wildlife that inhabit them.

I have been a member and donor of Center for Biological Diversity, Inc. for over 10 years. I have seen them grow into a strong voice for virtually every living organism that is facing the threat of extinction. When I donate each month, I feel assured that my funds are going to the right cause and not towards a heavy laden administration. Additionally, their at least monthly newsletter is chock full of information written by esteemed and knowledgeable staff members, many which spend time outdoors researching the animals and topics that their are concerned with. Yes, vote for the Center for Biological Diversity Inc. and help jettison them into even higher levels of animal rescue success. Thank you.

I'm a retired Parks and Wildlife professional. I worked hard for public lands and wildlife for nearly four decades. Thus, I know what it's like in the field, the hard physical work, the attacks by those who put money before a healthy environment, and the ugly politics of it all. That's why I am pleased to support the Center for Biological Diversity. The battle to save the Earth will never end since it seems that for many, human nature puts money before our life-supporting Earth ecosystems. It can become very discouraging and make one feel helpless. But, by supporting well known nature conservation organizations we can be part of the solution and on the right-side of conservation vs. exploitation. I encourage all who are able to support our nature conservation organizations and share in the victories of biodiversity preservation.

Absolutely phenomenal consistent work fighting for the world, educating and more, and not biased politically but rather honest and transparent. Very glad I'm subscribed to them.

I have been supporting this nonprofit for many years now. Have not regretted it one bit. They are highly effective at making real, lasting change in protecting wildlife and wild places. They fight for things that make the human world better too. Clean air, clean water, clean food, it’s all interconnected. The dollars that are donated are used efficiently and effectively. What makes them different from many other nonprofits is that they understand and utilize the legal system to advocate for and protect the wild.

I am highly impressed with the Center for Biological Diversity for its research, focus, knowledge, and ability to make a difference. The organization advances awareness of issues affecting wildlife and our natural environment better than any other and does the work to enact forward-thinking policies that bring about change. The center cares. And its 4-star rating with Charity Navigator is a strong indicator of the worthiness of this organization. We have been proud supporters for many years and will continue to do all we can to ensure that this organization succeeds in its missions.

I admire the Centre’s work protecting wildlife and educating people about the importance of conserving green spaces. Since I live in Canada and cannot get a tax receipt, I’m happy to support the Centre through petitions. If you are looking for a charity to support this one is excellent!

This is an amazing nonprofit. They get so much done to help animals, the environment and to combat the impacts of climate change. They make a difference in the courts and on the ground. I think every dollar I donate to them is going for the great good.

I love the Center for Biodiversity!!! This organization is one of the best organizations in the world that supports protecting the environment through the protection of wildlife and plant species!!!

I have been a supporter of the Center for Biological Diversity for years. They're one of my favorite charities/organizations. They have a 99 percent rating on Charity Navigator, so you can be sure that your money is going where it ought to go. I believe that biological diversity is of utmost importance. Far too often, people are short-sighted and forget that we're not alone on this planet. And when it's gone, it will be gone for good. So we must protect it and all of the flora and fauna who share this space with us.

I have complete faith in the Center for Biological Diversity to monitor important environmental issues and encourage my participation calling on the relevant agencies and officials to take corrective actions. I have been a monthly donor for years and know my contributions are being well spent. Unlike other organizations, the Center sends me a thank you note after each donation. If I had to reduce the number of organizations which I support, the Center would remain on my list until the very end.

The Center is absolutely fearless in its opposition to environmentally destructive policies, decisions, court orders and projects. It is constantly in the alert to anything that is destructive to the creatures of this Planet. It has taken the lead many a fight to fend off industry and government alike. I believe in them so much, they are in my will.

Being a person who is very passionate about animals and saving God's precious earth, I feel that
as stewards of this land, we have a responsibility to love and cherish that which God created.
I don't know of any other non-profit that does more to save endangered species and protect our planet than the Center for Biological Diversity. Their mission is: SAVING LIFE ON EARTH, and they go above and beyond to do just that. They strive to protect many species from becoming extinct and protect our land so that future generations can see the world the way that God intended. They are relentless in their fight to achieve their goal and I think they deserve a ten star rating!!!

These guys get results! They fight in court and hold gov't. agencies' feet to the fire to keep extinctions at bay and build back threatened species.

I've donated monthly to the organization for approximately 15 years. No regrets.

A great organization. It does varied and indispensable work. In addition to protecting animals and habitats, I like the fact that the Center is tackling the issue of human overpopulation. Hardly any other organization dares to tackle this sensitive issue.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a wonderful organization!
They advocate for our voiceless friends, animals and our environment, both which are sadly under constant threat. This is extremely important to me.

Amazing nonprofit. Takes progress to make change through government reform and gives real updates.

We have been monthly donors to the Center for Biological Diversity for years. We admire and support their tenacity and focus on protecting animals and their habitat. Plus, they have an office right here in Portland.

Center for Biological Diversity actually gets stuff done!

This nonprofit makes it super easy for busy people to help combat climate change, as it sends emails every week with link to take action using templates of letters.

The Center for Biological Diversity stands above the more typical environmental protection non-profits as they fight for all of our non-human companions on the planet in every venue available - by petitioning governments and their agencies, as well as corporations; by sponsoring direct contact between their supporters and these entities to speak truth to power and if the amicable methods fail to achieve the desired result, the Center litigates against the offenders, often as the lead plaintiff joined by like minded organizations. More so than most environmental and wildlife protection operations, the Center for Biological Diversity not only informs and educates, they take all action necessary in order to preserve "all creatures, great and small."

My husband and I have been monthly contributors to the Center for some years now. The folks there take action, legal and otherwise, to save as many plants and animals as possible around the world and get results. The Center is vigilant in its research, educational efforts and communication and jumps on every opportunity to take legal action against the government when they often violate their own standards. We are grateful for their work in challenging corporate and government takeover of the natural world and consider our money well spent.

While a number of my previously-favorite conservation groups have disappointed me greatly in the past two decades, NOT CBD. My admiration for and trust in this group grows each year. CBD is typically at the forefront of issues I care about most, and educates me on others I have not heard of. The tenacity and brilliance of their staff constantly impresses me. I salute their many successes in protecting wildlife, plants, and wild places. And I wish them many more.

One of my favorite non-profits that aggressively targets the most pressing wildlife, habitat, pollution and climate change issues.

One of the top environmental focused groups that doesn't pull its punches. Very effective with results to prove it. Many species are surviving and recovering thanks to CBD. Can't say enough good things about this group.

This charity is very good! It works tirelessly to help wildlife as much as it can!

Messages from The Center keep me up-to-date on environmental issues based on pure science. And they give me a chance to add my voice to influence good actions to help Earth.

The Center for Biological Diversity is the conservation organization I trust. The information I get from them keeps me educated on a wide range of environmental matters in my state, my country, and my planet. I owe CBD so much gratitude.

This organization has consistently operated with the fullest integrity in all the ways that transparency, accountability, campaign efficacy and ties to community needs can be measured.
The staff is spread across offices throughout the United States to respond to local concerns while staying in command of the issues that affect wildlife, plants, invertebrates and public lands at the national level.
Times are challenging and there are many worthy non-profits to which one can make a donation. The Center for Biological Diversity has the most incredible team of attorneys, scientists, program directors and other specialists with the exceptional skill sets to advocate on behalf of imperiled species and threatened public lands while allowing community engagement at whatever level of participation one chooses. I have a special place in my heart for wolves and cetaceans, butterflies, trees and public lands. This organization really does it all. I had to take a moment today to share how much faith I put in the meaningful work that the Center for Biological Diversity does. I am grateful for every single staff member who plays a role in making this a truly great non-profit that has earned my trust because it consistently delivers when and where it matters.

This is my #1 go to organizations. They hit all the right buttons. Fighting with lawsuits to adhere to the Endangered Species Act and make people realize that they are responsible and need to think seriously about reducing human impact!

The "Center for Biological Diversity" is a committed to saving animals and plants with their lawsuits, when necessary, since their petitions to the government agencies are, often, ignored.
I continue to be impressed with their, ongoing, determination, dedication and successes! They care about, all, living things and keep a, strict, monitoring of the hundreds of species at risk of extinction. Their ability to study and keep track of all the species in danger is amazing and admirable. In the midst of the, 6th, mass extinction and the, very, real emergency of biodiversity loss, their work is, so, very necessary and their diligence is much appreciated.

I love all that you do for the Earth, the sea, animals, plants, etc.

Center for Biological Diversity is a leader in holding government agencies and corporations accountable for their role in destroying precious life on earth. They are fearless advocates and passionate educators. I so appreciate their emails that make it easy and accessible to send letters to point persons in protecting various species. We need many more organizations like them, tirelessly on the front lines, protecting creatures that cannot advocate for themselves. Thank you.

One of my most favorite charities. I believe that they use the money I give them efficiently to save endangered plants and animals. Their money goes mostly to programs, not large executive salaries. If you care about plants, animals and the lands that they need to live, give to this nonprofit.

I continue to be impressed with the work that they do, protecting wildlife and ecosystems. Their knowledge base is incredible. They are doing their best to make this planet a better place for all.

Climate gets all the press these days, but our world and our lives, and the lives of our children and theirs, will be so much impoverished by the loss of biological diversity. CBD finds smart pressure points where members can make a difference (not just "sign this petition to show your support" kinds of actions). They use education as well as beautiful images to move minds and hearts, and they pay attention both to the charismatic creatures and the lesser-known. I enjoy their newsletters, I send them money, and I take actions they suggest. They don't bombard me with spam or lots of useless prizes.

Superb organization! Center for Biological Diversity provides the means for activism so that I feel connected to positive change in our world. Thank you!

The Center for Biological Diversity is always thinking of creative ways to let the public know how we can be a part of helping our environment. They take great care in writing articles full of important information. I am so happy they continue to do such a stellar job!

Amazing nonprofit that works for the protections for a multitude of fauna and flora. They bring the plights of many lesser known species to the forefront and go to great lenghts for their protection and to bring awareness about them to the public.

If I had my life to do over, I'd go to law school and then fight to save wolves. Or wolverines. Or some obscure wild orchid. Or fish. I didn't know 50 years ago that that was even a thing. Fortunately there is this whole organization that does just that: lawyers and scientists united to save endangered species. And they win! In doing that, they are saving the ecosystem and our own quality of life. I am proud to support them.

I've been a monthly donor to the Center for Biological Diversity for a few years. It is one of my favorite environmental non-profits. The Center is extremely active in protecting endangered wildlife and fauna. And it reports to me a few times a week about its projects and victories. It sends a brief blurb about these as well as an opportunity to sign a couple of petitions to lawmakers. I mostly just read the headlines and photos as well as signing the petitions. I also like hearing about the work of the Center in the news. Everything the Center does is professional and effective. Their links work and they communicate back readily whenever I email/call them for any reason. It's a great non-profit.

They get things done. Serious group of people. Honest & hard working.

The Center for Biological Diversity seems to come up time and time again as a leader for the protection of plants and animals. The CBD was at the forefront of the destruction at the border during the trump wall building fiasco. I donate to them every chance I get. But they don’t slam my email inbox with constant fundraising. They do so much with so little $$. They partner with other organizations that they feel are doing the same thing. Unlike some other groups who have gone the way of a big ego trip. A small but mighty non profit that deserves more attention and funds. I thank the universe for their existence!

I have given to enviromental and animal welfare groups for nearly 50 years and think the Center for Biological Diversity is one of the best! Almost all of their budget actually goes to saving our fellow beings (whether animal, insect, or plant) from extinction. They are very effective and are a strong voice for the voiceless. Everyone who believes in the sanctity of life and appreciates the incredible diversity and beauty of life in the world should be a member of this organization!

Jerry J Clarke

The Center is doing amazing work protecting native wildlife and ecosystems from rampant destruction. Always impressed by all of the different causes the Center is working for progress on, holding politicians and governments accountable.

The Center for Biological Diversity doesn't get the kind of publicity of some of the bigger players like NRDC or The Nature Conservancy, but they really punch above their weight in making impact with their resources. Some people have criticized the organisation for filing a lot of lawsuits - but that is what it takes to get anything done, sadly. It is because they (and other organisations) will put their necks on the line to defend natural habitats and biodiversity and legislation like the Endangered Species Act from attack by vested interests that we have seen a remarkable recovery in some species like the California condor, gray whales and bald eagles. There is a lot more to do and supporting the CBD is one way to make that happen.

I am really impressed by how relentlessly the Center for Biological Diversity fights for endangered species, for the preservation of our wildlife, restoration of destroyed habitats and against pollution of our environment and destruction of our basis of existence!

The people of this organization put a lot of effort and their full heart into their work! And what I like a lot is, that we don't get only a string of "bad news", but also quite a number of reports about successful projects, e.g. won lawsuits against polluters or for the restoration of a nature reserve.

Possibly the best practice organisation for saving wildlife in the world. Super focussed on all issues dealing with the crisis people are causing to this planet. Lucky they still have laws in place to effect meaningful results. They are needed in a country with no politically endorsed conservation portfolios. The US would be ruined without them.

We've been donators to the Center for Biological Diversity for many years. As retirees on a fixed income, we have limited means, but we know that our donations to the Center are doing the best work in protecting wildlife and plants in the ecosystem as they become threatened by more and more development and industrial expansion. We appreciate being kept "in the loop" by emails with news of interest to everyone concerned with protecting our earth, and we appreciate the chance we are given to take action through the Center by writing letters to agencies and our elected politicians. We are always advised to modify the subject and the text to make our letters personal, but it's great to have an intelligent template from which to begin. We have never regretted giving our modest gifts to the Center!

The Center for Biological Diversity is the real deal. They are discerning and tenacious, they approach donations by presenting information about the problem and their means of solving it, not with ego-stroking ‘free gifts. They have a long and distinguished track record of success.

I am an Australian and have been receiving emails from Center for Biological Diversity for some years now. I sign all their petitions, donate when I can and enjoy reading about weird and wonderful wildlife. I think their intelligent and compassionate voice for our unique and fragile species is vital, and applaud them on their incredible work to protect our planet.

They do a great job of informing on many different animal topics and helping us to get involved.

I give to a few charities, but I give the most to the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). Why? Because they are successful! The center consists of top-notch lawyers who truly believe the biodiversity of this planet, and of the United States, is worth fighting for. They focus on threatened and endangered species and are efficient in getting the word out with their Fast Action alerts, for people to send letters and regulatory comments. They are in court A LOT to protect species from encroachment, poisoning, and other threats. They do the hard work so we all can benefit.

If I had to choose only one organization to give to every month, it would be CBD.

Heather Williams
Donor

One of the absolute best teams working on the most pervasive eco and wildlife disasters. I am ever-impressed by how effective CBD is in identifying the problem annd eradicating or mitigating it in the face of serious uphill legal and political fronts. I cannot recommend them enough and they have my highest praises.

The Center for Biological Diversity lives up to it's name. They strive to improve / increase the natural diversity of flora and fauna in the environmental. They are the champion for endangered species protection.

The Center for Biological Diversity Inc is one of the most dedicated "boots on the ground" organizations passionately and effectively fighting to protect the wondrous wildlife and fauna that grace our planet! They are true warriors and get extremely valuable results on scores of their chosen missions! Your donations will not be in vain!

This organization is taking a vital role in furthering the protection of the biosphere, particularly animals and plants threatened with extinction. Its activities in this regard involve promoting awareness, as well as mounting legal challenges. It deserves the support of everyone who is concerned about ongoing global mass extinctions.

The Center for Biological Diversity is one of the greatest protectors of our flora and fauna. They fight tirelessly to ensure our legislators as well as agencies work to safeguard endangered species. The CBD deserves a place high up on your donation list!

CBD gets the job done. They walk the talk, and are a formidable force in court. They're in our estate plan because they use our money wisely.

All the stars in the sky shine brightly over the Center for Biological Diversity. In every way, it defines a great nonprofit.

The folks at the Center for Biological Diversity get it! They understand what is important and the urgency for action. I have supported many “environmental “ organizations over the years and I take comfort in knowing CBD is advocating for our non- human sisters and brothers. Seeing them succeed in court gives satisfaction of money well spent! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Center for Biological Diversity is among the most effective conservation nonprofits in the world today. Their team fights for animals and plants, nationally and internationally. they have a stellar track record and I have supported them for two decades. Their committment to saving precious species and habitats is unwavering and back by the law. They don't shy from a fight and are not beholden to any stakeholder.s

An awesome charity for animals
They really get things done

The Center is the fiercest advocacy organization for the environment. The methods they employ are the most effective I have seen anywhere.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a very important organization, committed to fighting for the lives of plants and animals that can not defend themselves. They organize their members to send emails, sign petitions and when necessary get involved in and sometimes originate lawsuits to help prevent the destruction of critical habitat for plants and animals. With the horrors of wildfires, floods, droughts increasing all the time, the Center is one of only a few organizations on the front lines defending nature.

CBD has been in the front lines of species protection and conservation for many years. And they have been getting lots done to protect the diversity of wildlife, both in the courts and on the ground. May they live long and prosper as a foundational organization that will help us into the future with our planet somewhat intact.

Center for Biological Diversity is one the most important environmental and wildlife organizations in existence. It is crucial that they continue to fight the fight, saving animal and plant species from being endangered or extinction and preserving our healthy habitats, land and oceanic. Their successes are numerous, but they cannot do it without the help of all of us who care about the health of our planet and all its life forms.

i have been a supporter of this organization for years and find them to be one of the very best groups working on behalf of our environment.
They keep you up to date with a fantastic newsletter where they usually present several actions to take. Plus many other really interesting stories about our amazing planet and the lives that depend on it.

Charity Navigator gives this fantastic NON PROFIT a 4 Star Rating - the highest rating!

They do so much great work to save the lives of a vast range of endangered species, The bulk of the money raised goes to the causes they champion - that’s how they get that four star rating!

This is just what we need to fight the dangers that are driving our beloved wildlife to extinction. We must save them while they’re still here.

Please contribute to this phenomenal organization. Your contribution is critically important.

This is an organization that uses money wisely in its work to protect ecosystem diversity. Too many organizations focus on a few animals/birds. The Center for Biological Diversity understands that all plants, insects, birds and animals play a role in healthy ecosystems and do the necessary science and push the government to take the right steps. Additionally, they follow up - because we all know government actions sometimes don’t meet the agreements.

I have been a member of the Center for more than eight years. No other groups fights harder against the extinction of wild species. I love that they take on fights for even the smallest of species and that they seem to have the capacity to fight in just about every place that is under threat. As someone who reads their letters and communications closely, it is abundantly clear that the hardworking people who work at the organization view the Center's mission as much a moral calling as a place to work.

I deeply appreciate the lengths to which the Center's staff go to keep their supporters informed on the work they are doing. Their emails are in-depth, inspiring and packed with information. When I've written in to get information about issues of particular concern to me where I live, I've received thoughtful responses from the heroic conservationists that are doing everything they can to stop bad projects from putting nature at risk. And the webinars I've been able to attend have been hopeful and inspiring.

The Earth needs this organization and I highly encourage anyone and everyone who cares about the natural world to consider supporting them.

When a 501 C3 becomes a charitable organization they are held to a certain standard, that they will follow their mission statement, provide for their cause and above all be honest and transparent. The CBD has done none of this ,yet quite the opposite. Part of their mission statement says To improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity. So far by research I have seen frivolous lawsuits filed with large financial repercussions to the CBD. By the CBD not doing proper research and falsifying, rather out right lying for gain for their organization, paying out damages to others as their frivolous lawsuits have damaged and destroyed peoples lives and livelihoods. The CBD has stated there are 600 horses in the Tonto National Forest which is an outright lie, stating that the horses are destroying the environment, eating cottonwood trees, when in fact the cottonwood trees have been growing and being sustained. The new seedlings that have been destroyed as they claim has been due to the fact that SRP opens the dam and the influx of water in fact erodes the shoreline and unfortunately kills the seedlings, which indicates people destroying the environment not the horses. We have had longhorn sheep having babies, bald eagles also reproducing, several bird species, deer, bats, mountain lions, foxes, javelina, coyotes all maintaining their lives with enough food and a good balance to sustain each species. What I have seen is people dumping tons of trash, and destroying the land but yet the CBD blames the horses. The Forest Service has entered into a contract with the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group through a humane birth control program which reduces the population and follows the long term plan that has been put in place to maintain the herd size. There has been 1-2 foals born in the last several years, an example that the program is working. The herd size in fact been reduced by 54 horses by natural attrition. Boundary fencing has also been added to maintain the access where the horses are roaming. They currently have access to 12 miles of the riparian area of the 200 mile long Salt River area. Water troughs have been placed in strategic locations allowing for the horses as well as the deer etc access to water therefore not relying solely on the river not only benefitting the horses but the deer and other wildlife species, so they are not reliant on the river alone for water.The horses eat the dried brush which in fact reduces the chance of wildfires which will destroy the forest in a short period of time. As the horses move through the forest a path is created therefore making paths which is utilized by the public to move through the forest. The CBD associates with John Koleszar, Arizona Sportsman for Wildlife Conservation, who has been seen laughing at the sight of a dead horse in Alpine AZ to his friends Robin Silver of the CBD and Jackie Hughes a roundup contractor who is benefiting financially from the round up of those horses.who were slaughtered inhumanely by shooting them and then rounding them up. The CBD has yet again filed a frivolous lawsuit using lies, deceit and egregious behavior. This behavior is not in alignment with what their charities mission statement is and it disgusting that these activities are allowed and being brought to a court of law. The CBD needs to realize that there are 8 million visitors to the Tonto National Forest each year not only to see the land but to see the horses as well. People are destroying the land not the wildlife. Once again the CBD will not be successful in their effort to harm or modify the management of the horses. The CBD actually disgusts me. Melanie Brown

This group wants to remove the iconic Salt River Wild Horses from the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.
These horses have been here for many decades. The horse’s benefit the forest by keeping the fire hazard low because they eat the dead foliage.
They also bring revenue to the area. I have met people from all over the world who come to see them.
Please leave the wild horses alone.
They belong in the Tonto Nation Forest.
Dorree B

The CDB does not even deserve one star. They have filed a lawsuit to remove the Salt River wild horses without any scientific proof that the horses have done any damage. The horse population is already being reduced by humane management from the SRWHMG and there is absolutely no need to remove all but 50 horses. CDB already caused removal of the Alpine Wild Horses, yet allow cattle on the land which cause even more harm. When a lawsuit is filed along with cattle organization and hunting organizations you can see what is happening. The CDB should immediately withdraw its lawsuit against Tonto National Forest.

The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a federal lawsuit to remove the Salt River Wild Horses from the Lower Salt River. Their suit is based on inaccurate and unfounded information, claiming that the existence of the horses is a detriment to the natural environment of the forest and the river. There are no facts to back up those claims. On the contrary, all evidence shows that these horses actually enhance the health of the ecosystem by eating the dry grasses that are susceptible to wildfires (thus protecting the habitats for other species), spreading seeds for new growth through their manure, creating trails through the forest which act as firebreaks. These iconic horses exist in close harmony with the other native wildlife: big horn sheep and bald eagle populations are increasing, and river otters, fox, coyotes, mule deer, javelina, and birds are plentiful. More damage is done to the ecosystem of the Salt River by irresponsible humans and violent flooding caused by SRP than any wildlife currently living there.

What the Salt River Wild Horse herd adds to the natural environment is immeasurable. Aside from the beauty and peace that they provide, they also attract millions of tourists who come to vacation here from all over the world specifically to enjoy their natural beauty in their natural habitat. These are consumers who patronize our hotels, restaurants, car rentals, sporting goods stores, river rafting and other forms of entertainment and amenities, spending a great deal of money in our economy. Tourist information sources consider the horses a major point of interest for their beauty and historical importance.

The Salt River Wild Horses are being humanely managed to control population growth and ensure sufficiency of forage in their designated area of the Tonto National Forest. The SRWHMG is working closely with the Tonto USFS and the AZDA in an amazing private/public partnership that provides a great example of what could be accomplished all over the US.
This organization supports whoever pays them, regardless of any principles.

Center for Biological diversity has an M.O. in which they engage in lawfare against Gov agencies to force Gov agencies to enact CBD desired policies. They successfully removed the Alpine Wild Horses in Arizona and have now sued the Forest service to negate the contract with Salt River Wild Horse Management to humanely control and manage the wild horses in my area. The complaint makes spurious allegations, not based on fact and SRWHM will have to raise money to pay for legal services to combat this unwanted undesirable action by CBD.
CBD has never had any cleanups on the river, never had any information events, never done ANYTHING in this area, while SRWHMG has worked to put together a coalition of volunteers, private donors AND work with the gov agencies for a SUCCESFUL program to manage herd size and conditions.

CBD is lawfare eco terrorists and should be barred from filing any further malicious cases unless they post at least $1million bond, get at least 60% approval of voters in areas that they intend to try to force their policies on, and have to pay restitution to the communities that they terrorize with these antagonistic lawsuits they file against smaller, local environmental groups.

The Center for Biological Diversity is by far the finest and most effective protector of life on Earth that I know of. They first got my attention with their campaign of Endangered Species condoms, highlighting the fact that virtually every environmental problem is based on human overpopulation; and for years I was appalled at the lack of this acknowledgement by every other environmental org. I follow and support several other environmental orgs, but the Center stands head and shoulders above the rest. I have attended California Fish and Game Commission meetings and seen their extraordinarily brilliant lawyers in action. Their success rate speaks for itself. In this time of mass extinctions, we need the leadership of the Center to save as much as possible from greed and indifference. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Center for Biological Diversity is a 15.

I love this organization. I just read about their efforts to save habitat for the endangered Florida bonneted bat. I learn so much about the species they are working to protect. In this time of climate change and mass extinction, the work done by The Center for Biological Diversity is critical to saving as many species as we can. To paraphrase Lydia Millet - it is looking outside ourselves as humans that give humans our deepest meaning. We are but a small part of the web of life and every species has a profound roll to play. Oh, and most important, The Center of Biological Diversity is persistent and effective.

I've been a member of CBD for many years, and they are in my will. They have a comprehensive approach to saving life on earth--as one of their programs is called. By comprehensive I mean CBD is involved in a broad spectrum of issues and no species is too humble to merit their attention. In addition, their e-mailings are interesting and informative with lots of links to additional information. I learn a lot as well as having the opportunity to sign many petitions on important environmental issues. CBD is involved in many vital lawsuits and they work cooperatively with other organizations.

I'm retired and on a fixed income, so I choose the nonprofits I donate to very carefully. The Center for Biological Diversity is dogged in their pursuit of Endangered Species status for the unknown and overlooked plants and animals facing extinction, in addition to the well known and beloved species. Many legal battles take years and sometimes decades to achieve, but be assured they will never give up the good fight.

The Center for Biological Diversity punches far above its weight through their fearless and relentless activism for life on earth. No creature or plant is too small to command their attention, and their track record of winning protections for a wide range of animals, plant life and habitats is a ray of hope in the face of the current extinction crisis.

Amazing work being done by the Center for Biological Diversity! True champions for wildlife conservation and protecting biodiversity! An easy way to follow their work and get involved is by subscribing to their email list and signing the petitions they link in their newsletters :)
I've been following these wonderful stewards of the environment for over a decade and will continue to support them throughout my years. You can follow them on facebook and Instagram too!

The Center has educated and anyone who will listen to me, about the crucial needs of our planet and her inhabitants.
They’re constantly fighting for all of earth’s creatures.
The Center is a gift to us all.

They're tenacious, diligent, and get results. I've been supporting them for a very long time, and they're perennially engaged on numerous fronts to safeguard the environment. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The Center for Biological Diversity is not afraid to challenge bad government policies, greedy developers, or anyone who would happily degrade our environment and quality of life just to make a quick profit at our expense. The Center sent out a form to help anyone who wanted to comment to the Forest Service about the Lutsen Mountains request for a Special Use Permit. If the Forest Service approves that request, it would allow a ski resort to expand on public lands that are currently used by hikers, back-country skiers, and snowmobilers, effectively kicking all of those users our of land that belongs to all of us. Expanding on that land would also break the 1854 Treaty with several Native American tribes. And it would destroy land that is currently home to endangered bats and lynx. Pollution from the added ski runs would run downhill into a Minnesota Scientific and Natural Area, which currently protects one of the largest intact tracts of Superior Highlands old-growth hardwoods. Last but not least, with our currently warming climate, we should not be allowing a ski resort to cut down trees, just so a few rich people can get even richer. The Center for Biological Diversity has helped us to fight that, and hopefully will be there to continue to fight for this place if needed.

The Center for Biological Diversity is working hard to help species that live on the land, sea and in the air. From the smallest animal to the largest and from well known plants to obscure plants that few of us have heard of, if help is needed in surviving and increasing in numbers, the Center is ready to contribute time, money and energy. I sign many petitions to show that I backup what the Center is doing. I don't have any qualms about giving them money because I know that it will be spent wisely.

Th Center for Biological Diversity does the the hard work of identifying the underlying issues that adversely effect wildlife, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and the environment and, effective, doable solutions for addressing our (human) impacts. Thank you CfBD

An email from Center For Bilogical Diversity Inc somehow landed in my emails and I have never looked back. The educational value of their messaging and the opportunities to send action emails to affect positive change is of great personal value to me. I learned of the vital importance of Bio Diversity for the planet to survive. To learn of and see the photos of so many
animal and plant species I often never heard of moves my soul. To do my small bit to aid in their survival moves my heart and is gratifying. I highly recommend Center for Biological Diversity
Inc and thank them for their work.

This group keeps donors truly informed about environmental issues they are fighting for and how we can help. It is great for updates on all the states and initiatives being pursued.

They are constantly standing up for wildlife against all odds. They are tenacious and always trying to save the planet at all costs

The Center for Biological Diversity is an amazing organization. They do so much important work to protect threatened and endangered species. Their newsletters not only help to get the public involved with the work of saving life on earth and ensuring a future for our children, but they also work to express the wonder and uniqueness of each species, who are valuable not only for their role in ecosystems, but as precious beings in their own right. I don't know of any non-profit doing more important work than this.

They work hard to save engangered species of all types on this planet!

The Center for Biological Diversity is my favorite environmental charity. Nearly every time I pick up a newspaper, I see an environmental story in which the Center is involved. Unlike many environmental organizations that merely advocate, the Center sues when needed and frequently wins. In many cases the target is some federal or other bureaucracy that has the power to act but doesn't either out of laziness or timidity. Center lawsuits successfully force these agencies to do their job. The Center is staffed with high quality lawyers and scientists, and I think this is why so many of the lawsuits are successful.

I'm not wealthy, so I need to target my support of environmental organizations carefully, and the Center for Biological Diversity is my first choice.

This non-profit is a treasure. They are clearly plugged into all the threatened species and are relentless in fighting for their survival.
I so appreciate their newsletters and am happy to support them.

This organization is one of the best wildlife non-profits I've joined. While they, like all others, do ask for donations, they also provide quick and easy ways to respond to federal agencies and political representatives about protecting and building upon biodiversity. Not only do they keep me informed about specific concerns and major issues, but they regularly talk about successes. Without seeing success stories, its very hard to feel the hope needed to continue the battle for change. While there are so many wonderful wildlife organizations to contribute to, few people can join them all. This is one I would recommend choosing.

Biological diversity is the most important goal to save the planet everything calls home. Saving land and making everyone aware of the pollinators, flowers, corals, stands of forests where predators still flourish and how everything needs even insects do sustain soil. Since I joined my mind has been broadened in so many ways. CBD’s passion for all life is how we will honor and protect this amazing planet!!

The Center for Biological Diversity is an incredibly professional nonprofit. Everything about them is top notch: their research, newsletters, photography, articles, focused causes and issues, communications, and especially passion for the environment and life on our planet. They do wonderful work!
Barbara Youngquist

The Center for Biological Diversity is truly stellar in both their efforts and accomplishments to protect and save our natural world and all its inhabitants. This is the organization I encourage friends and family to follow and support. Their hallmarks are integrity and effectiveness.

The organization gives wildlife a voice to fight loss of habitat.

The Center for Bioloigical Diversity is a stellar charity. It believes that the welfare of humans is deeply linked to nature and that the loss of diversity impoverishes society as well as nature itself.
Charity Navigator website (https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/273943866) ranks it as:
"Exceptional" and awards it 97.87 out of 100.
It is noted for it's stategic thinking, leadership and adapability in trying to protect nature, and it's creatures big and small without prejustice, through science, law and the creative media.

I try to put my money toward causes that I believe in and Center for Biological Diversity is my top choice. When I’m going through my emails in the morning it could be really depressing, but when I get to an email from CfBD I’m always so relieved to read about the good work they are doing to keep our wildlife healthy and around for future generation. I am immensely grateful for what they do.

The Center for Biological Diversity Inc is truly performing an exceptional, nonprofit service to nature, by capturing the betterment of all species.

Doing critical work using the legal system to protect vanishing wildlife in the US. When other measures often fail to get government agencies and corporations to stop damaging ecosystems and to stop allowing harmful practices like pesticides, hunting, animal agriculture, or inappropriate development projects, then the Centre for Biological Diversity uses the courts to try to protect other species.

CBD has been instrumental in keeping me abreast of all the most crucial wildlife and wilderness issues while also providing me with meaningful ways to help out. I sign every petition they send me, and donate whenever I can to help finance their lawsuits and restoration efforts. A true force for good in a world that desperately needs it!

The Center for Biological Diversity is one of the most activist environmental groups. Its name frequently appears as a plaintiff in lawsuits to protect fauna and flora. Government agencies not doing their jobs to protect the environment are the usual defendants. The Center has a long list of animals and plants to add to the Endangered Species list.

This organization is absolutely the best at what it does, and really the only one that is true to its mission of saving wildlife - no matter if a snail or a fish or a butterfly or a wolf - from extinction. They are aggressive and single-minded in executing the goal. CBD has become my No.1 charity. If you care about balance, where the human species is NOT the rulers of all but just another species, this should be your No.1 organization to donate to as well.

The Center never takes no for an answer and continues to win protections for endangered species. They fight like hell and are one of the most successful non-profits out there when it comes to protecting our environment and the animals and plants who are constantly under threat from the human greed that is destroying our planet.

What a fantastic organization, working tirelessly for endangered species in order to heal our planet. Because of their work, the future looks brighter for the plants and animals at risk, as well as for future generations of humans who depend on thriving biodiversity for our own health and well-being.

As a supporter of numerous environmental NGO's this is arguably the most effective of all those I support.

Several years ago, I came across an article in a magazine that was talking about an animal that was threatened with extinction. The article mentioned the Center for Biological Diversity as being an organization which was working with their legal expertise to protect the animal. I sought out more information about the organization and learned that they were a "take no prisoners" legal team that was scoring win after win to protect wildlife, natural landscapes, and urban communities too. Whether it's pollution, an ill informed government decision, or a little known critter fighting for its life, the Center will find the resources and legal help needed to protect both people AND rare and overlooked species. Wherever there is a battle to save an endangered species, the Center for Biological Diversity is there, on the ground, and in the court rooms defending those species which cannot defend themselves. No other organization has shown the same persistence, tenacity, and courage to fight for all life on our planet. Give with confidence. You will not be disappointed!

I LOVE these people!! Using the courts to force the US the follow it's own environmental laws....Priceless.
I have an automatic donation of $10 or $15 per month ( I forget as it has been years) and that way I hardly miss the money and can feel like I am helping the planet in some way. I wish it was more.

Brilliant people who get results and never give up.

The Center for Biological Diversity is an amazing organization. Their work is essential to the continuation of life on this planet. They fight. They organize. They protect. I have been a supporter of their work for a long time, and I will continue to support them.

Every person at CBD cares deeply and is well informed. They are great at relating to people the critical role that biological diversity plays in survival of the human species; and quick to go to bat for endangered species teetering on the brink of extinction.
They are also wise enough, unlike many environmentally-concerned organizations, to recognize the pivotal role that massive human overpopulation has played and is playing in destroying our entire planet and our own species.
They are tireless and positive and upbeat and the best choice out there for people who care deeply about stopping humans from destroying themselves and the entire planet.

The Center for Biological Diversity is an action driven organization. Whenever you read articles about environmental victories the Center is always mentioned. They are leaders in the world of nonprofit environmental organizations.

CBD is a phenomenally valuable organization, leading the way towards preventing us humans from quite literally destroying our one-and-only Mother Earth.

Think about what each of us "takes" in order to live even a basic human existence. TAKE LESS.

Those who can easily afford to take less should lead the way in this regard, since those with the most tend to take the most -- leading the way in destruction -- instead of leading the way in the protection and preservation of "our" precious planet.

The best non profit to protect our planet!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been supporting the Center for Biological Diversity for many years and couldn’t be more pleased with their performance. Their mission and vision is clear and focused. Their financial leanness ensures that my donations are not wasted in administration or silly fundraising gimmicks. They are effective, realistic, tenacious, and incredibly inspiring. Wild animals, plants and entire ecosystems have an amazing ally in this organization. Support them with confidence!

Excellent organization fighting to protect wildlife and our environment.

From the lofty condors & eagles to the ground hugging black footed ferrets & Mexican wolves, the Center has highly educated, motivated biologist boots on the ground to assess and protect critical wildlife. The Center protects the tiny fairy shrimp and whales of all persuasions in the shade of the redwoods, sequoias and the Joshua tree with the same urgency.
Without question the Center for Biological Diversity is the best, most effective direct action nonprofit on the planet. They study, assess and recommend plans of action to save diversity thereby saving us. While working on the bald eagle recovery I was fortunate to meet a few field biologists from the Center. I'm so happy these dedicated. knowledgeable are among us.

The Center has become my favorite charity. Instead of constantly asking for donations, the Center sends detailed reports of their efforts to protect species. I get thank you emails for my monthly donations. The Center keeps me informed of their legal victories, ongoing efforts and also of failures to get the protections sought.
Their work is targeted and surely makes a difference for the planet

This organization supports a broad spectrum of both flora and fauna. They achieve results! I support some of their partners also. I love reading the newsletter citing what they have accomplished. I feel a part of it.

The Center for Biological Diversity absolutely lives up to its name. The Center is a nonstop fighter for the right of all species to live and thrive on Earth, taking on polluters, developers, climate change, habitat destroyers...you name it. And they win, time after time, which is why it's important to contribute, so they can keep on winning more and more, and making sure that biological diversity continues on Earth.

The Center for Biological Diversity does an immense amount of boring, hard, frustrating, and long-term-commitment-requiring work to make enormous impact on our planet. This is the work most of us lack the patience, knowledge, and skill to do, but it's SO important. We can enact the greatest environmental policies in the world, but if nobody is making sure they're enforced, it doesn't matter. The folks at the Center for Biological Diversity do fantastic work and have an outsized impact.

The centre for biological diversity is an amazing nonprofit organisation. I have been following and supporting them for many years now because I am amazed at how diverse their work is and can see the positive results that they obtain for so many species. I feel a lot more trust and confidence in the Centre to champion the causes that many others do not have time for. I am New Zealand born and bred, and will continue to support their work from New Zealand knowing that most of their efforts focus on the USA.

The Center for Biological Diversity goes the extra MILES to push our government into action that will benefit the earth and ALL its inhabitants. They get results! I am so grateful that they make it easy for me to participate in their actions and campaigns. I am always saddened and uplifted from their newsletters and other emails - there not that much uplifting news these days!

The Center for Biological Diversity is the very epitome of a truly excellent environmental/ecological organization that is always, always on top of every issue that this planet is imperiled with as a result of humancentrism. They have been here for decades, doing the good dogged detailed work every day, and succeeding in law suits with the most challenged government agencies, doing exposes on what we all don't want to believe happens daily in cruelty to fauna and flora, and educating us all along the way. I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough for everything every member of this organization does to fight, educate and change the face of Earth to be one of agency, health, well-being and freedom for all the more-than-human beings.

They do such a wonderful job of educating the public on the importance of protecting endangered or at risk animals and wildlife.

There are many environmental organizations doing fine work. Among them, I believe the Center for Biological Diversity stands out: I've always been impressed by the large number of threatened species the Center manages to protect. And they're very good at what they do, usually they win protection for the precious animal, bird, plant, reptile, amphibian, insect, etc. and its environment. And they never give up, even when there is a setback.

I've written to them on two occasions over the years to bring a local issue to their attention in case they weren't already working on it. In the first case, I emailed in the middle of the night and was astonished to receive an immediate response from another night owl who explained in some detail how they were tackling the issue. In the second case, I wrote another ICYMI note about a devastating project that had just been proposed and two days later they sent a petition against it, and succeeded in stopping it. This is a big country, it is amazing how the Center manages to take specific, effective steps to protect critical biological diversity wherever their help is needed. They understand the interconnectedness of all life and IMO are very effective at protecting it.

Center for Biological Diversity is among the most highly rated non-profits by Charity Navigator, a major criterion on which I rely in selecting the charities I support. Issues the Center designates for action seem very well chosen.

The center for biological diversity is an amazing organization. The newsletters and content they produce is poignant, relevant and very well written. The organization takes frequent and strategic action on issues I care about. I highly recommend donating to the center for biological diversity.

I choose to give a monthly donation to Center for Biological Diversity because they take on corporations as well as federal, state & local governments by challenging them in court. They're tough and they get results.

They're the best of the best.
I've followed CBD for two decades or more....I take part every week in their actions, attend their many accessible and educational classes. When I write a letter to them, they answer back. They have local chapters on the ground we can connect with. They're not just a faceless, money-laundering entity. They do far more than environmental organizations many times their size, to save wildlife. They are engaged constantly in not only education and campaigns, but they deliver lawsuit after lawsuit, when our agencies have failed us, when protections are absent for our most endangered and threatened species. I like how they're unflinching and unfailing, and when it's time to drop diplomacy (because finally, it won't work) and get the job done, they do it.

I'm particularly grateful for their focus on wolves...the most maligned of creatures. As Idaho and Montana and their wolf-killing allies decimate mothers and pups and packs, in this keystone and especially social and intelligent species....CBD is out there on the ground fighting for their survival. I fight along side them, even when just in spirit and financial support, and I'm glad to do so.

I feel that when I give $25 to CBD, that they're going to use it wisely. Give them your money, but give them your time, and your respect....they're good stuff--and you can't say that about all the big Greenies.

As an ecologist and environmental attorney, I am well aware of the myriad crises our planet is facing as we cross the threshold of 8 billion human beings. The Center for Biological Diversity is doing the necessary and difficult work to address these challenges head on, and they are good at it. The combination of law, science and story-telling galvanizes action by often timid government agencies, voluntarily or not. I recently made the decision to increase my monthly giving to join their Leadership Circle because I wholeheartedly believe in the effectiveness of their work. Please join me in supporting this worthy nonprofit- you won't regret it and you just may sleep better at night knowing you are part of this fight.

I believe that the Center for Biological Diversity does excellent work to save species and their habitats, work that is a crucial part of our efforts to save our planet, its natural resources and all its living beings. The Center's emails and videos are informative and beautiful, allows us to experience places we cannot actually go to. I am a retiree who contributes what I can, and wish I could give more.

This non-profit gets things done. I'm happy to support them!
