A federal judge upheld the law by declaring a massive oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico is unlawful. This momentous win comes after we sued the U.S. Department of the Interior for failing to assess the sale's impacts on the climate and the critically endangered Rice’s whale.

🐋 With fewer than 100 remaining, Rice’s whales are one of the world’s rarest whales. Yet, President Trump is prioritizing offshore drilling over its survival.

We must protect—not sacrifice—these animals! https://t.co/ubgHkJWx7L

Huge news! @NOAA & @POTUS designated the first Tribally nominated national marine sanctuary. Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary encompasses more than 4,000 square miles of Central California's coastal and ocean waters. https://t.co/xa02WqpQFG

Today is #InternationalRabbitDay!

One species we work to protect, the pygmy rabbit, is at risk of extinction. The world’s smallest rabbit, pygmy rabbits may be protected under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct – something we are advocating for. 🐰

Earthjustice swooped in and sued a utility for its reckless power line plans in Kaua‘i. The result? Millions for conservation, new research, and a big win for Hawaiʻi’s seabirds. Because saving birds is the real power move. https://t.co/cUIHIXYoDp

JUST IN: The first Tribally nominated national marine sanctuary, the #ChumashSanctuary, will be designated! This coastal California wonder is home to southern otters🦦, leatherback sea turtles🐢, blue whales🐋 https://t.co/Y23hZFhfPO

With fewer than 100 of its kind remaining, the Rice’s whale is one of the rarest and most endangered whales on the planet.

Without quick action to protect them, these animals that play a vital role in the health of the Gulf could be lost forever. https://t.co/EpkZA7cHE7

Marine species advocates scored a long-awaited legal victory this week, after a judge found the federal government had underestimated the risks of offshore oil and gas development to the critically endangered Rice’s whale & other wildlife. https://t.co/psm1W1wXE8

Victory! A judge struck down a federal assessment that deemed it acceptable for oil drillers to kill up to 13,000 endangered sea turtles a year. The ruling also gives one of the world's rarest whales a reprieve from the fossil fuel industry. https://t.co/j7Fcc9ioSg

The Vaquita is the world’s smallest & most endangered porpoise, & it's on the brink of extinction. Due to illegal trafficking & drowning in fishing gear, the vaquita could soon be extinct.

The Council of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement voted yesterday to investigate Mexico’s failure to protect the vaquita. Mexico has not enforced its fishing and wildlife trade laws, causing the near-extinction of the porpoise (only 6-8 may remain). https://t.co/QhVWMFSMU3

In a good move, the government is expected to designate a Gulf of Mexico Rice’s whale critical habitat area so these whales can remain safe & the population can rebound to healthy levels – today fewer than 100 remain.
