At a 2023 hearing, Rep. Ralph Norman cheered bat extinction, despite over 6 million northern long-eared bats dying since 2006 from white-nose syndrome. This epidemic, the worst wildlife disease outbreak in North American history, currently has no cure.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature's vast diversity. We work through science, law, and creative media to protect species on the brink of extinction, ensuring a future where the wild thrives.

This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.

Engineering must evolve to address complex global challenges like climate change. We need a new generation of "Zero Carbon Engineers" who can blend creativity, systems thinking, and behavioral science to develop solutions that balance societal and natural needs. This talk explores their importance and essential skills.

David Rooney, Professor of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University Belfast, directs the Sustainable Energy Research Group and Bryden Centre. His research focuses on sustainable energy and materials, and he advises industry and government on Zero Carbon technologies. He also holds the position of Dean of Internationalisation and Reputation for the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, with extensive international experience.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation. These efforts failed to slow us down.

Since Trump's second inauguration on January 20, we have filed 65 lawsuits. These actions targeted destructive policies, climate-killing fossil fuels, widespread chemical approvals, and the despoilment of vital ecosystems like the Everglades. We also fought corruption threatening wilderness areas and defended national parks from exploitation.

We are deeply grateful for your continued faith and anticipate more hard-fought battles and victories in 2026.

Investors are increasingly backing the circular economy, reflecting a growing awareness. Paul Bodnar (BlackRock) and Audrey Choi (Morgan Stanley) highlight its long-term value and investment opportunities, especially given finite resources. This discussion is from an Ellen MacArthur Foundation show.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, champions the circular economy, which aims to eliminate waste, circulate materials, and regenerate nature through design.

Taylor McKinnon, an accidental artist and dedicated activist, serves as the Southwest Director for the Center for Biological Diversity. He oversees efforts to protect wildlands and endangered species, spearheading campaigns to end federal fossil fuel leasing and ban uranium mining around the Grand Canyon.

In this artist talk, McKinnon explores nature photography as a practice of natural history, intertwining observation, art, love, and activism. He will discuss his process in the field and Lightroom, including the compositional freedom of long lenses and developing a minimalist style absent art theory. McKinnon will also share abstract landscape photography not featured in the exhibit.

This infographic and animation tracks cumulative natural gas wells drilled in Pennsylvania from January 2005 to April 2012, highlighting the state's transition from conventional vertical to horizontal drilling.

Horizontal wells, primarily in the Marcellus, Utica, and Geneseo/Burket shale formations, increased significantly. Concurrently, less productive vertical wells declined, resulting in an overall decrease in new well counts.
