The San Xavier talussnail, one of the world's rarest, lives exclusively on a single Sonoran Desert hill. These hermaphroditic snails can live up to 10 years, estivating for three and active only 3-4 days annually. Monsoon rains prompt their emergence from rock crevices to feed on lichen.

These unique snails are central to a major lawsuit filed by the Center against the Trump administration. The suit challenges the administration's failure to protect 241 endangered species, many facing imminent extinction.

Nevada stands on the frontlines of the extinction crisis, home to hundreds of unique, imperiled plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. Species like the Mount Charleston blue butterfly, Dixie Valley toad, Devils Hole pupfish, and Tiehm’s buckwheat face severe threats.

A "Saving Life on Earth" webinar, featuring Nevada State Director Patrick Donnelly, explores how protecting these narrowly endemic species, utilizing the powerful Endangered Species Act, contributes to global conservation. Learn how the Center for Biological Diversity takes action against threats from ski-resort expansion, energy production, and pervasive groundwater overuse.

Discover how you can support the Center's vital work to save Nevada's rare flora, fauna, and their essential ecosystems.

Center staff recently visited the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve near Mexico City, witnessing millions of eastern monarchs overwintering. These butterflies are now stirring, preparing for their great migration in March.

The annual count revealed an astounding 225 million monarchs, a 144% increase from last year and the highest since 2006, largely due to favorable weather. This breathtaking sight moves many to tears.

Despite this increase, continued existence requires more protection for these migratory wonders and their habitats from pesticides, climate change, and destruction. Witnessing this spectacle strengthens our resolve to save them.
