Center for Biological Diversity
At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters, and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.www.biologicaldiversity.org

Dan GatesHOST
But the attacks and the assaults on the conservation and hunting and fishing side of things over the course of the last 10 to 20 years has been exacerbated by the influx of the animal rights community and, to some degree, voter ignorance or the uneducated voter, because they can capitalize on different things, and agendas that are driven by so many different levels of public engagement that legislators – are willing to be the squeaky wheel that gets the grease because they're willing to take money maybe from the Center for Biological Diversity or the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals or the Humane World for Animals.
