Endangered Species Coalition

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the mothers who protect, nurture, and guide the next generation, across every species. From a polar bear denning with her cubs, to a sea turtle returning to the beach where she hatched, to a piping plover guarding her tiny chicks, wildlife mothers remind us what is at stake when we defend endangered species and the wild places they call home. The Endangered Species Act helps protect vulnerable wildlife today so future generations can thrive tomorrow. That is a legacy worth fighting for. Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, caregivers, and protectors of every kind. 💚 #MothersDay #EndangeredSpecies #ProtectWildlife #DefendTheESA #ForFutureGenerations 📸: Polar Bears: Daniel J. Cox

New op-ed from our Executive Director, Susan Holmes in @theinvadingsea. This powerful piece cuts through the political spin and makes clear what is really at stake: the Endangered Species Act is not a barrier to national security, it is one of America’s strongest, most successful safeguards for wildlife, ecosystems, and future generations. The Trump administration is allowing the oil industry to harm vulnerable species based on a pretext. #EndangeredSpecies #EndangeredSpeciesAct #WildlifeConservation #ProtectTheESA #MarineLife #Biodiversity theinvadingsea.com/2026/05/04/oil…

Thank you, @RepTomSuozzi, for standing up for wildlife and the Endangered Species Act. For more than 50 years, the ESA has helped prevent extinction, protect critical habitats, and give imperiled species a fighting chance. At a time when this landmark law is facing serious attacks, we need leaders who will defend science-based protections and safeguard wildlife for future generations. #EndangeredSpeciesAct #ProtectWildlife

Endangered Species Day is coming up! 🐺🦋🐢 On Friday, May 15, people across the country will celebrate threatened and endangered wildlife, the habitats they depend on, and the Endangered Species Act that helps protect them. Planning an event? Visit our website to learn more, get inspired, and add your event to the official Endangered Species Day map so others can join you. ➡️ endangered.org/endangered-spe… Together, we can celebrate wildlife comeback stories and help build a future where endangered species can thrive. #EndangeredSpeciesDay #EndangeredSpecies

Why on Earth (Day) are they trying to gut the Endangered Species Act? youtu.be/nwD4h0P0TnE?si…

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Westerman’s ESA rollback bill, H.R. 1897, has been pulled from floor consideration. ESC activists, members and supporters sent more than 58,000 emails to elected officials, along with hundreds—if not thousands—of calls in just the past few days. The message was clear: Americans support the Endangered Species Act and want its protections to remain in place. For now, this harmful bill is not moving forward, and the important work to protect endangered species can continue.

It’s #EarthDay, and we’re in Washington, D.C. with 55 activists from across the United States, fighting to defend the Endangered Species Act at a time of unprecedented threat. We’re on the ground reminding Congress that the ESA matters, and that threatened and endangered wildlife need strong protections now. Keep the calls coming. Call (202) 224-3121 and urge your representative to vote no on Westerman’s bill, H.R. 1897. - (202) 224-3121 #EarthDay #EndangeredSpeciesAct #DefendWildlife

House to vote on legislation that could harm endangered species' habitats. An important vote is expected in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that could affect the endangered species on the nation's coastlines, including whales, piping plovers, sea turtles and even the bald eagle. The vote is expected to be razor thin, and could come down to local Republicans from New York and New Jersey. abc7ny.com/post/house-vot…

The Endangered Species Coalition has learned that the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson (R-LA), plans to schedule a vote on Rep. Bruce Westerman’s (R-AR) ESA Amendments Act (H.R. 1897) this #EarthDay, Wednesday, April 22nd. If Rep. Westerman and House Speaker Mike Johnson get their way, Earth Day could become Extinction Day. Call your representatives today. Urge your representative to vote no on Westerman’s bill, H.R. 1897. - (202) 224-3121 #DefendTheESA #ProtectWildlife

The Endangered Species Act is one of America’s most effective and most popular wildlife laws. It has helped prevent the extinction of 99% of listed species. Now Congress is pushing dangerous rollbacks that would weaken protections, sideline science, and put habitat at greater risk. Thank you to Chris Allieri of the@nycploverproject for his exceptionally well-written op-ed shining a powerful light on what’s at stake. Tell Congress: defend the ESA. #DefendTheESA #ProtectWildlife

The Westerman bill (H.R. 1897) puts endangered wildlife at greater risk. The ESA was created to prevent extinction. Weakening it now could be devastating for species already hanging on by a thread, including elkhorn coral. When protections disappear, species do too. Tell Congress: reject H.R. 1897. Defend the ESA. Protect wildlife now. actionnetwork.org/letters/urgent…

Thank you @SEEC Lands, Waters, and Nature Task force for denouncing the “God Squad” action to waive Endangered Species Act protections for wildlife affected by oil and gas activities in the Gulf. seec.house.gov/media/press-re…

📷Marine monuments like the NE Canyons & Seamounts off the coast of Cape Cod are home to whales, sea turtles, seabirds, and ancient corals thousands of years old. Weakening protections for profit is reckless and illegal. We’re not buying what @POTUS is selling. #SaveTheSeamounts 🌊🐳🪸

46 Members of Congress call for a National Wolf Recovery Plan. We thank @RepDonBeyer for his leadership!

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, and the stakes for wildlife could not be higher. We’re raising a $200,000 Defense Fund to stand up against political rollbacks, habitat destruction and the accelerating threats to endangered wildlife, habitats and plants. Wolves, grizzlies, bats, butterflies, and so many others are counting on us. Your support fuels every action we take from grassroots mobilization to federal policy defense to on-the-ground partnerships that protect habitat. Are you with us? endangeredspecies.app.neoncrm.com/forms/esa-defe…

#GivingTuesday is just one week away! This year, ESC is raising a $200,000 Defense Fund to stand up against the current administration's rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act. Changes that would put gray wolves, grizzlies, and countless other vulnerable species at risk of extinction. Together, we CAN defend the ESA, #AmericasBestIdea, and the species that depend on it most. Together, we are stronger! Give today: endangeredspecies.app.neoncrm.com/forms/esa-defe…
