Black soldier flies (BSF) offer a practical solution to transform organic waste into valuable resources for food and agriculture. The BioDAF II project in Grand-Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire, converts urban organic waste into protein-rich livestock feed and nutrient-rich fertilizer. This bioeconomy initiative strengthens food systems, reducing reliance on imported feed and chemical fertilizers.

BSF farming also creates income opportunities for vulnerable communities, especially women and youth, fostering more efficient, local, and sustainable agriculture. Learn more: FAO Bioeconomy.

The Trump administration is pushing to construct a border wall through Big Bend National Park, a crown jewel of America's national heritage. These plans would wall off critical river access

The Trump administration is pushing to construct a border wall through Big Bend National Park, a crown jewel of America's national heritage. These plans would wall off critical river access points, isolating wildlife from their only water source, the Rio Grande. Such construction would also destroy cultural sites and lock the river behind a steel barrier, an act of political vandalism, not security.

We have been fighting border wall construction for years. Learn more about our work: www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/border_wall/. Join the fight: call your Congressional representatives at 202-224-3121. Urge them to protect Big Bend by stripping federal funding for border walls in the region.

The Trump administration is threatening Big Bend National Park, a national heritage site, by planning to wall off river access points. This 517-mile sector, a vital part of the U.S.-Mexico border, faces imminent construction.

Such a wall would cut off wildlife from the Rio Grande, their sole water source, destroy cultural sites, and lock the river behind steel. This move reflects a disturbing disregard for public lands, seen as political vandalism rather than security.

The Upper Verde River, along with its critical tributaries, represents one of Arizona's most ecologically healthy and economically important free-flowing river systems. Due to its remarkable value, a federal Wild & Scenic River designation is proposed to provide resources for management, protect clean water supplies, and maintain its vital ecosystem for future generations.

Join Rachel Ellis, Associate Director of the Southwest River Protection Program at American Rivers, to learn about her work protecting wild rivers and the campaign to designate the Upper Verde as a Wild and Scenic River.

The Biden administration plans to waive 26 environmental laws for new border wall construction in Texas. This threatens fragile habitats near a national wildlife refuge, cutting off wildlife like cougars and bobcats from the Rio Grande, and potentially destroying endangered plants crucial for monarch butterflies. The Center for Biological Diversity actively opposes these plans.

As a 501c3 nonprofit, the Center for Biological Diversity works to protect species and their habitats through science and law, believing human welfare is linked to nature's diversity. Learn more about their fight against the wall in this article: What Happens When You Wall Off a River.
