About This Collection

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. It is necessary for life to thrive on Earth.

Aldo Leopold, one of the great thinkers of conservation, observed more than half a century ago the importance of protecting species. "To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering," he wrote. Losing species is like throwing away one by one the engine parts of an airplane while flying.

Biodiversity is a major initiative of Conservation International.

Biodiversity conservation provides substantial benefits to meet immediate human needs, such as those for clean, consistent water flows; protection from floods and storms; and a stable climate.

Wolf hunting season has begun in Wyoming, raising concerns for wolves in the Northern Rockies. While wolf packs like Mollie’s are protected within Yellowstone National Park, they face danger once they enter the Trophy Hunting Zone.

Next week, we will advocate for Mollie’s pack in front of the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission in Evanston, Wyoming. This historically significant pack needs our support. Join us in urging the Commission to protect these wolves by following the link in our bio.
