🚨The EPA has repealed the #EndangermentFinding, 2009 determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health & contribute to climate change. This undermines our ability to protect the health of people & wildlife. https://blog.nwf.org/2025/07/deregulation-wont-protect-us-from-climate-change/

"...Native nations, Oregon, Washington and conservation groups returned to court on Friday, renewing litigation against the federal government to protect endangered salmon runs."

Over 13k of our activists told the EPA not to repeal their own crucial decision that determined greenhouse gases are a danger to public health. They ignored our voices.
The EPA is expected to repeal the #EndangermentFinding, so we joined our partners today in DC. @actonclimateus.bsky.social

Northeast Canyons & Seamounts is the only marine monument in the US Atlantic. The White House’s order opening up this Monument - crucial habitat for numerous marine species & seabirds - to commercial fishing will hasten the decline of imperiled aquatic species. #SaveTheSeamounts

Why do #polarbears need #PFAS regulation? 🐻‍❄️
A study found that polar bears contain elevated PFAS levels causing negative health effects - similar to humans. If the EPA allows more PFAS in our environment, there will be detrimental health impacts to humans & wildlife.

Why do raptors and other species need the EPA? 🦉
Rat poisons are found in many species that aren't their target. The EPA is required to regulate pesticides, and has banned for consumer use longer-lasting rat poisons, keeping raptors and other species safer.
