Happy Friday! Every week here at the Center for Biological Diversity, we work hard for the wild — and we win. This week we won Endangered Species Act protection for Suwannee alligator snapping turtles. We stopped logging in Oregon’s Elliott State Forest, which protects imperiled marbled murrelets, *and* we stopped logging in a biologically important area of North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest. We took action to help imperiled Mexican gray wolves, vaquita porpoises, California’s Mount Pinos sooty grouse, and West Coast tope sharks. We spoke up to protect Grand Canyon groundwater from pollution from a uranium mine, sued to defend the Southwest’s last free-flowing river — the San Pedro — from pumping, safeguarded Napa Valley hillside habitat from development, and defended a historic California law protecting people from urban oil drilling. 🎉 

This week’s wins are an example of the broad, interconnected work the Center does to save life on Earth. We’re energized and looking forward to winning more next week. Thank you for being a big part of all our sucesses, this week and every week — whether you donate, take action, or spread the word. One thing you can do right now to support our lifesaving work is share this post in your stories to get the word out about what we can accomplish together! #StopExtinction #KeepItInTheGround #ProtectOldGrowthForest
