Lithium Americas Corporation (LAC) is splitting into two entities: Lithium Americas, focusing on North American projects like Thacker Pass, and Lithium International, managing Cauchari-Olaroz in

Lithium Americas Corporation (LAC) is splitting into two entities: Lithium Americas, focusing on North American projects like Thacker Pass, and Lithium International, managing Cauchari-Olaroz in Argentina. This restructuring is reportedly aimed at limiting liability, accessing U.S. Department of Energy loans, and distancing the company from its Chinese connections and significant issues at the Argentine site.

The Cauchari-Olaroz project, 44.8% owned by LAC and 46.7% by China's Ganfeng Lithium, has been subject to allegations of human rights violations by The Washington Post and saw two worker deaths in October. Critics suggest LAC seeks to bypass Republican opposition and federal funding hurdles by separating from its China ties and the associated human rights and environmental concerns, which are seen as mirroring potential issues at Thacker Pass.

Horseshoe crabs, ancient survivors for half a billion years, are crucial to our ecosystem. Their annual egg deposits along the Atlantic Coast provide vital food for endangered species like red knots, fueling their 9,500-mile migration. The Center for Biological Diversity secured protection for these shorebirds in 2014.

Now, a commission proposes increasing commercial horseshoe crab harvest limits, including females. We oppose this. These creatures support countless species; we cannot let them disappear.
