Coral reefs, often called "rainforests of the sea," surprisingly thrive in nutrient-poor ocean deserts. Despite these challenging conditions, they host a quarter of the world's marine fish species.

Dr. Kathryn Matthews, Oceana's Chief Scientist, explains how these vibrant ecosystems sustain such incredible biodiversity.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) secured a major victory last week as growing opposition halted the House of Representatives' effort to roll back this vital wildlife protection law. As Executive Director Kierán Suckling notes, the ESA is one of the world's most effective conservation laws, having prevented 99% of protected species, including bald eagles and gray wolves, from extinction.

This triumph benefits countless species like whales, sea turtles, and monarch butterflies, underscoring the power of collective voices. We extend our deepest gratitude to all Center supporters whose advocacy made this win for the wild possible.

The Center for Biological Diversity is again under attack. Far-right congressmen on the House Resources Committee have launched a baseless "investigation" against us for protecting the Arctic and polar bears from an oil conglomerate. Our Executive Director, Kierán, denounced this as a weaponization of government power, a smear tactic by oil-funded politicians to silence environmental advocates.

This "investigation" is a politically motivated witch hunt, devoid of legal merit and making absurd accusations. To combat this antidemocratic power-mongering and defend our critical work, we've established the Freedom Defense Fund. Your support is crucial to our survival against these persistent threats. Please donate today, or consider a monthly contribution to sustain our defense.

Far-right Republicans have launched another congressional "investigation" targeting the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). CBD condemns this as a fraudulent abuse of power, designed to intimidate opponents. However, CBD remains unintimidated and is prepared to fight back aggressively.

CBD's Executive Director immediately called for Congress to investigate a real scandal: a Chilean billionaire and his mining company spent millions influencing Trump officials to reverse protections for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. This mine threatens endangered species and public lands. Suckling offered to testify publicly about these shady dealings, including corporate donations to the "investigators." CBD is committed to protecting wildlife and public resources.
