The Endangered Species Act celebrates 50 years as one of the strongest laws for species protection, having saved 99% of those under its care. It has fully recovered species like bald eagles and gray whales, and is more vital than ever with millions facing extinction.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity. Through science, law, and media, we work to secure a future for all species by protecting the lands, waters, and climate they need.

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit of over 930 seed accessions into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup facility for crop diversity. This crucial step safeguards the nation's agricultural biodiversity, including fundamental crops like maize, beans, squash, amaranth, and teocinte.

This significant deposit resulted from an emergency intervention and a long-term alliance between Guatemala's national germplasm bank and communities in the Cuchumatanes region.
