Increased human activity, urban sprawl, and development are pushing endangered species like mountain lions, panthers, and manatees to the brink. Recent incidents, including the death of California mountain lion P-78 from rat poison and vehicle impact, and 14 Florida panther fatalities this year due to collisions, underscore this critical threat.

The Center is a leader in establishing wildlife connectivity across the nation. Join our expert staff in California and Florida to discuss our vital work in protecting wildlife where they live.

Humans have profoundly impacted the planet, ushering in the Anthropocene. Ivo Kennedy explores urban agriculture's vital role in society and individual lives. He investigates how systems, from large-scale hydroponics to community gardens, can reinvent agriculture and foster nature appreciation, even within cities.

Amid environmental crisis, Kennedy, a public health graduate student, reflects on his love for both nature and vibrant city life. He considers how urban agriculture can transform gray skylines into green spaces, helping achieve environmental sustainability in energy-demanding cityscapes. This talk was given at a TEDx event.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has removed Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves across most of the lower 48 states. This decision is expected to significantly slow or halt wolf recovery in much of their historic range.

Learn more about the implications of this action, how the Center for Biological Diversity is challenging it, and ways you can contribute to the fight. Hear insights from the Center's carnivore conservation director, Collette Adkins, and senior West Coast wolf advocate, Amaroq Weiss.

Gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Arizona's borderlands are remarkable tree-climbing canids. They possess several unique adaptations for an arboreal lifestyle, unlike most other canids.

These adaptations include flexible, primate-like wrists and cat-like paws with long, curved claws. Such features equip them to hunt and play effectively within the forest canopy.

The "stereotype threat"—where internal voices appraise and judge us, even when alone—profoundly affects social creatures. This concept was detailed in a New York Times article on October 7, 2012.

Red Corn's work explores the force of this stereotype threat on his people.
