An Alaska Superior Court ruling permits the state to kill an unlimited number of black and brown bears across 40,000 square miles of southwest Alaska this summer. The state claims this "bear control program" will boost a struggling caribou herd, but there is no scientific evidence to support this assertion.

Cooper Freeman, Alaska director at the Center for Biological Diversity, expressed concern about the "unlawful plan's irreversible consequences" and the lack of scientific basis. He emphasized the need to protect wildlife based on science, not "disgraceful waste of the state’s limited resources."

The Center for Biological Diversity and Alaska Wildlife Alliance are collaborating to stop this program. Support their efforts in this critical fight.

Alaska has confirmed a plan to kill an unlimited number of bears across 40,000 square miles, including near national park borders. Game agents will shoot bears from helicopters. This controversial initiative aims to boost a struggling caribou herd, despite a lack of scientific evidence that bear culling will be effective or address the caribou's underlying issues.

The Center for Biological Diversity has sued to stop this cruel and illegal plan. Your support is vital to help protect Alaska’s bears.

Yurok tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental activist Craig Tucker share the story of the Klamath River dam removal, the largest in history. This unprecedented effort, driven by Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship, marked co-equal decision-making between tribes and the US government. By 2024, the project will liberate the Klamath River and its tributaries to flow freely for 400 miles from Oregon to the Pacific Ocean.

Gensaw is the Founding Director of the [Ancestral Guard](https://naturerightscouncil.org/ancestral-guard), while Tucker founded [Suits and Signs Consulting](https://suitsandsigns.com/).

After Hurricane Irma flooded Miami in 2017, Will Charouhis founded We Are Forces of Nature, a youth-led climate group. It focuses on providing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies for coastal areas, particularly through mangrove conservation.

The group launched A Million Mangroves, an initiative that cleans, plants, and researches mangroves to improve restoration success. Charouhis, 17, also pioneers research at Miami's Seaquarium on mangrove species resilience to ocean acidification and warming.

He has shared his findings at UN climate conferences, aiming to increase global restoration efforts. His organization has educated 2,500 youth in 16 countries and is involved in collaborative mangrove restoration in Central Africa.
