Fossil fuels are wreaking havoc on people, wildlife, and the planet.

Welcome, to the first North Atlantic right whale calf born this season! 🐣🐳
But we know from sad & painful experience that this calf & the species won't be safe without care and protection from boaters. We're hoping this season is less deadly than the last.

Proposed #giraffe protections are good news, but it took 7 years to get here. US officials should be racing like a cheetah to fight the global #extinction crisis, but they’re actually moving at a snail’s pace to protect imperiled wildlife. #StopExtinction

Amazing news! 🎉: In response to a petition and lawsuit by the Center + our allies, today the USFWS proposed listing four species of #giraffes under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct!

Did you know giraffes have been undergoing a "silent extinction?"
“We actually realized that there are fewer giraffes in Africa than elephants,” said @ts4biodiversity.bsky.social.
But good news - they may be added to the Endangered Species List. 🎉
