The Trump administration just gutted the Endangered Species Act. For endangered species already hanging on by a thread, this could be a death blow. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of extinction. These protections have helped keep forests standing, rivers flowing, and the wild places countless animals need to survive from being destroyed. Now, those safeguards are being stripped away—opening the door to more logging, mining, oil and gas drilling, and other destructive projects in the very places endangered wildlife depends on for food, shelter, and survival. Extinction isn't just about losing a species. It's about losing a piece of our natural world forever. The Center for Biological Diversity won't stand by and watch that happen. We'll challenge this reckless rollback in court and fight for the wildlife, wild places, and future generations that depend on these protections. #ESA #Endangeredspecies #Breakingnews

For shorebirds nesting near SpaceX's launch site in South Texas, that's not hypothetical. The Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge provides critical habitat for nesting shorebirds and countless other species. But since SpaceX began operating nearby, rocket explosions have sent concrete and metal debris flying onto refuge lands, triggered wildfires, and damaged wildlife habitat. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every monitored shorebird nest near the launch site suffered egg damage or loss. Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to give 715 acres of this protected wildlife refuge to SpaceX. Instead of holding the company accountable for the damage, the government is trying to hand over even more public land to one of the richest corporations on Earth. We're suing to stop this harmful land swap and protect one of South Texas' most important wildlife refuges before more habitat is sacrificed for rocket expansion. Because wildlife shouldn't have to raise their young in a rocket launch zone. Take action at the link in our bio. #PublicLands #Shorebirds #SpaceX

So… a few people are making the argument that the SpaceX land swap is actually a good thing. But here’s the part they’re leaving out: the habitat scoring system being used to argue these lands are “low value” was developed in collaboration with SpaceX itself. The company benefiting from the land deal helped create the method used to evaluate the land. And if some of these areas have lower habitat quality today, it’s worth asking whether years of launches, explosions, and industrial development had anything to do with it. Remember to research the researcher. That’s something the Center takes very seriously, and the truth is simple: Public lands aren’t for sale.  And that’s why we aren’t backing down in this fight.  #spacex #publicland #texas #wildlife
