Endangered Species Act

Friends of the Earth’s biodiversity campaign seeks to protect species by safeguarding the Endangered Species Act and reverse Trump rollbacks. We can’t stand aside while our wildlife and the laws keeping them safe are under attack.

Putting a stop to violence against vulnerable and endangered species like gray wolves and grizzly bears and to protect our planet means we’re fighting with everything we have to protect the Endangered Species Act – one of our strongest tools to protect species against climate-wrecking industries and their allies.
