On March 1, 2024, a federal court ruled that a mining giant's proposed destruction of Oak Flat, an Apache holy site in Arizona, would not violate religious freedom laws. Apache Stronghold, supported by the Center, will appeal this 6-5 decision to the Supreme Court. The mine threatens Indigenous First Amendment rights, endangers species like ocelots, consumes vast water resources, and would generate 1.4 billion tons of toxic waste.

We urge you to help us call on Congress to pass a law preserving Oak Flat. Take action here: biodiv.us/49GFbRX.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based nonprofit, advocates for green energy that respects biodiversity and Indigenous cultures. February 2024 brought key victories in Arizona. An injunction was filed with the Tohono O’odham Nation and San Carlos Apache Tribe to halt wind-power transmission lines damaging sacred sites and the San Pedro River. More: Twitter, ENR.

A significant win with Navajo allies, backed by 7,000 supporters, stopped Black Mesa hydropower projects threatening aquifers, prehistoric sites, and wildlife. This established a nationwide policy granting Tribes veto power over permits on their land. Details: Inside Climate News. As the Center's Russ McSpadden noted, "industrial energy plans are just greenwashing" without community consent.

The Center for Biological Diversity advocates for green energy that respects biodiversity and Indigenous cultures. In February 2024, we took significant action in Arizona. We filed an injunction with the Tohono O'odham Nation and San Carlos Apache Tribe to stop wind-power transmission lines damaging sacred sites and the fragile San Pedro River.

We also achieved a major victory with Navajo allies against proposed Black Mesa hydropower projects. These projects threatened aquifers, prehistoric sites, and Mexican spotted owl habitat. This win establishes a new nationwide policy granting Tribes veto power over permits targeting their land. More on this victory: insideclimatenews.org.

Our current "take-make-waste" economy depletes resources and generates pollution. A circular economy offers a sustainable alternative, redesigning systems for people, nature, and businesses to thrive by eliminating waste and pollution.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, champions this circular model. Driven by design, it aims to eliminate waste, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife released five GPS-collared gray wolves (three males, two females) from Oregon into Grand County on December 18, 2023. This historic effort aims to reestablish a healthy wolf population, fulfilling a 2020 voter mandate.

Under a finalized restoration plan, the agency will release up to 10 more wolves by mid-March 2024 and 30-50 over the next three to five years. The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit, advocates for the protection of all species and their habitats through science and law.
