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.

The Endangered Species Mural project in Tulsa, by artist Roger Peet, features the American burying beetle. These unique insects are efficient recyclers, known for burying small animal carcasses to feed their larvae. Once common, they are now rare. The Center for Biological Diversity works to prevent their extinction. Learn more about American burying beetles here and the Mural Project here.

Since high school, 17-year-old Hamid Torabzadeh has volunteered with the American Red Cross, empowering youth to prevent and alleviate human suffering amidst increasing climate and public health disasters.

He leads the Los Angeles READYteens Program, educating high school students on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. READYteens trains youth in CPR/First Aid and emergency communications, prioritizing vulnerable communities most susceptible to climate-related emergencies.

Hamid's efforts have reached over 10,000 youth volunteers nationally, trained 350 LA students, and educated 1,000+ LA households on fire and earthquake safety.

Five endangered red wolf pups underscore the urgent need to save this species from extinction. With fewer than 20 known in the wild, red wolves are among the world's most endangered carnivores. A new draft recovery plan, proposed by the Fish and Wildlife Service in September 2022, offers a crucial step forward after 32 years.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature and biodiversity. We work through science, law, and creative media to protect species on the brink of extinction, ensuring a future where the wild thrives. Learn more and take action at biologicaldiversity.org.

Global women leaders are spearheading critical strategies for national and international divestment from harmful extractive industries. They demand justice and accountability from financial institutions, advocating for a Just Transition that prioritizes people and planet.

On September 22, 2022, an event, part of WECAN’s three-day Climate Justice Forum, highlighted these efforts. WECAN presented the second edition of its report, "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry," amplifying the voices and actions of global women leaders in divestment from fossil fuels, deforestation, and militarism. Prominent speakers contributed to the discussion.

Washington's recovering wolf population faces flawed state management. Despite public support, the state wildlife agency, influenced by the livestock industry, continues lethal wolf management and defied Governor Inslee's reform orders. This approach lacks accountability, transparency, and science-based nonlethal strategies.

Learn from experts Amaroq Weiss, Claire Loebs Davis, and Samantha Bruegger how to transform Washington into a leader for wolf conservation. The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, protects species through science and law.

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.

For further insight, explore this [interview with Ralph Bloemers on fire ecology](https://resistanceradioprn.podbean.com/e/resistance-radio-guest-ralph-bloemers/) and George Wuerthner's [article on wildfires](https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/08/08/yet-another-misleading-piece-on-wildfires-from-the-new-york-times/).

Join host Jeff Corwin as he connects with some of the most threatened aquatic animals, including Florida's gentle manatees, the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, and coral reefs. He highlights critical threats to manatees, such as habitat loss, cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms, which have led to record mortalities. Conservationists are racing to save these iconic creatures.

Efforts include restoring warm water habitats, advocating for dam removal to open vital waterways like the Ocklawaha River, and coordinating rescue and rehabilitation partnerships, exemplified by SeaWorld's work with rescued manatees like Avana. Protecting these watery worlds is essential for the planet's health.
