U.S. wetlands are in crisis, with half of these vital ecosystems in the lower 48 states vanishing since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision removed federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to draining and filling.

Wetlands are crucial for biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on them, with over 33% living exclusively there. Their loss degrades water quality, increases flood risks, and accelerates extinction; many endangered wetland species lack critical habitat protection.

Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species. Learn more and act at www.saveourfreshwater.org.

Electric scooters, skateboards, and bicycles are increasingly prevalent in cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C., sparking varied public reactions. Ride-hailing companies, including Uber and Lyft, are actively acquiring bike-sharing services, signaling a significant shift in urban transportation.

This surge in two-wheeled options raises critical questions about the future of urban mobility. Are these new solutions effectively addressing the notorious first-mile and last-mile transportation challenges?

Join Stuart Cohen, Sanjay Dastoor, and Megan Rose Dickey for a conversation on these new urban wheels, their impact on city travel, and their role in cutting carbon emissions.

Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.
