7、ederal government over the summer to speed protection decisions for more than 700 struggling animals and plants,was a watershed in our organizational history and in the history of the Endangered Species Act.Under the terms of this ambitious and legally binding agreement,perhaps half as many species
8、as have ever been protected under the Act will get new protection decisions over the coming six years and that includes species in all 50 states,a wide array ranging from wolverines and walruses to New England cottontail rabbits and Hawaiian scarlet honeycreepers.We had other major achievements this
9、 year too,despite a hostile Congress and a lack of environmental vision in the White House:We led a broad-based public campaign,supported by litigation,that pushed the administration to enact a 20-year ban on new uranium mining on 1 million acres around the Grand Canyon saving an international natur
10、al icon and scores of endangered creatures from a toxic legacy.We won 2.2 million acres of protected critical habitat for species like the Cook Inlet beluga whale,we stopped the killing of wolves in Oregon,stopped Shell from drilling in the Arctic Ocean in summer 2011,beat back an“extinction rider”i
11、n Congress that would have slashed an already too-small budget for endangered species protection,and successfully defended the polar bears legally protected status from interests that wanted that protection stripped.In all of this,we depended on your support.My deepest thanks.1New Hope for 757 Speci
12、esIn summer 2011 the Center for Biological Diversity did something extraordinary:We struck a far-reaching settlement deal with the U.S.government to speed up protection decisions for more than 700 plants and animals by 2018.Thats more than half the total species that have ever been protected under t
13、he Endangered Species Act,and the Centers uniquely enforceable,watertight agreement puts all these species on an unprecedented fast track to recovery.From the time the earliest version of the Act passed in 1966 until 2011 thats 45 years almost 1,400 species have received the powerful protections of
14、the Act.Now,as a result of this agreement,that number could increase by close to 50 percent.Our settlement means that when the Endangered Species Act turns half a century old,it may well be shielding 2,000 species from extinction.Because the Act is the strongest law in the country,and likely the wor
15、ld,for saving and recovering rare species,this result is a landmark in American biodiversity conservation.Very few creatures have ever gone extinct once they received the benefits of the Acts protection;the longer a species has the safeguards of the Act,the more likely it is to be moving away from t
16、he brink and toward eventual recovery(see“Recovery Successes,”page 16).The Center has taken legal action in many cases filing scientific petitions,in other cases filing lawsuits,and sometimes doing both to win the Acts protection for all of these 757 species.We have a history fighting for each and e
17、very one of them.So for all of us at the Center,and our supporters who made it possible,this settlement represents the culmination of two decades of intensive,strategic work 2The landmark agreement set deadlines for protection decisions for 757 species,including the wolverine,Miami blue butterfly,sc
18、arlet honeycreeper and Pacific walrus.to stop Americas most vulnerable animals and plants from winking out of existence.Included in the agreement are the walrus,wolverine,Mexican gray wolf,Pacific fisher,New England cottontail rabbit,three species of sage grouse,scarlet Hawaiian honeycreeper,Califor
19、nia golden trout,Miami blue butterfly,Rio Grande cutthroat trout,403 southeastern river species,42 Great Basin springsnails and 32 Pacific Northwest mollusks.Many of these suites of species had already received positive decisions in the listing process by the time this report went to press,including
20、 some species that made it to the finish line and were granted permanent protection including the Ozark hellbender,laurel dace and a lovely flowering plant called the parachute penstemon.Well be monitoring closely,from now till 2018 and beyond,to ensure this historic agreement is defended from polit
21、ical attacks and implemented fully.3135198160103131112516234207161719143413720153901002003004005006001993199419951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011Positive Protection Decisions by YearIn 2011,the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service made 539“positive”decisions that a species w
22、arranted protection or needed more review.The vast majority of decisions were part of the Centers agreement on 757 species.4Wild Wolf CountryFor almost 90 years before fall 2011,no wild wolf had set foot in California since the last one was shot there in 1924.Nearly a century elapsed,and then after
23、a few wolves established a fledgling population in neighboring Oregon one wolf,known as“OR-7”to bureaucracies and“Journey”to hopeful advocates,made a 1,000-mile migration away from its birth pack to cross the state line into California.As soon as Journey and his radio collar crossed that border,the
24、Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition to give gray wolves endangered status under California law.Our swift move was needed:Even with just one animal in the state,and despite the fact that abundant wolf habitat still exists in the vast reaches of California,livestock producers instantly so
25、unded a shrill alarm,vowing to kill any wolf they found.Were devoting ourselves to preventing that killing and promoting a safe haven for wolves in California,because soon for the first time in most of our lives wolves could have a chance to survive and thrive all along the West Coast again,where th
26、ey lived for millennia before people exterminated them.While West Coast wolves made historic headway,wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains continue to suffer losses under state hunting and trapping plans after Congress stripped their federal protections in April 2011.The Center went to court the da
27、y after the wolf-killing budget rider was passed.Although the judge was sympathetic to our arguments and doubted the constitutionality of that rider,he reluctantly upheld the delisting in August.With a coalition of allies,we continue to fight for these wolves and against the opportunistic removal,by
28、 politicians,of species scientifically determined and legally granted protections.Were actively pursuing a plan to recover wolves across the country.The arrival of a gray wolf in California prompted the Center to file for statewide protections there and push even harder to bring wolves back to the W
29、est Coast.Karen Olch was the kind of child who knew all the creatures in her backyard and took an early interest in natures most vulnerable species.Today,as an adult who works with birds of prey at Cascades Raptor Center in Oregon,she has a special affection for natures top predators.Karen believes
30、wolves evoke“wild”in every sense of the word.“When I heard wolves howl for the first time,it was indescribable and made me so happy,knowing they were out there somewhere,”Karen says.Wolves,though,have a complicated history in the West,especially after European settlers nearly drove them extinct.But
31、now wolves and importantly,along the West Coast are making a comeback.The Center is there to make sure wolves and other top-tier predators are protected so they can play their vital roles in creating healthy,balanced ecosystems.Karen recently began generously supporting the Center for its efforts in
32、 protecting wolves and other species.The Center,she says,is a“get-down-to-business organization with the highest level of integrity and dedication that does what needs to be done,without a lot of fanfare,to protect endangered species and the places they inhabit.”We rely almost entirely on member gif
33、ts&private foundations to fund the Center.Learn more and join at:http:/biologicaldiversity.org/supportmember spotlightKaren Olch5Also in 2011,along with partners,we filed a second scientific petition to protect Alaskas Alexander Archipelago wolves near-black wolves that roam the Tongass National For
34、est and which weve also worked to protect through our long-term Tongass advocacy.In the drier,warmer forests of the Southwest,where a 1990 Center court case led to Mexican gray wolves reintroduction,we also got good news among the mixed news for wolves this year:Southwestern wolves population increa
35、sed,with more pups being born in the wild.Were following that first regional reintroduction year after year,case after case,by helping wolves survive and re-colonize the wildest parts of the country.From the Northeast to Alaska and the border with Mexico,from the Great Lakes to the Rockies and West
36、Coast,we believe wolves are crucial to making sure American wilderness exists in centuries to come.Protected Lands and WatersThe Endangered Species Act directs habitat to be protected to save and recover rare animals and plants.Because of the powerful role these landscapes and waterscapes play,they
37、function as preserves that have to be managed to promote the survival of endangered species.Federal agencies cannot condone any actions within“critical habitat”that will impair its capacity to help endangered species recover.Unfortunately,the government routinely neglects its obligation to set aside
38、 critical habitat unless compelled to do so by citizen suits.The Center for Biological Diversity was the first organization to discover the remarkable power of the Acts habitat mandate and has led the nation in the designation of critical habitat for more than two decades since.Our record securing c
39、ritical habitat for endangered species is unparalleled;weve now successfully pushed the federal government to set aside 220 million acres of critical habitat as well as protect more than 500 threatened and endangered species.In 2011 we had several strategic victories on critical habitat,winning fina
40、l protection of more than 2.2 million acres and proposed critical habitat for 9 million more.In Alaska,we won a final designation of 2 million acres for Cook Inlet belugas.In California,we won 99,000 acres for arroyo toads threatened by urban sprawl and ORVs,among other destructive forces;we also wo
41、n 90,000 acres up and down the West Coast for black abalone threatened by wasting disease and global warming.We won 47,000 acres for tiger salamanders being driven toward extinction by development and achieved a set-aside of 3,000 acres for a beautiful,purple-flowered plant called the thread-leaved
42、brodiaea not enough,in our view,but a significant improvement over the plants previous designation of 597 acres.Major proposals include the equivalent of 7 million acres for Hawaiian monk seals;375,000 for woodland caribou;334,000 for southwestern willow flycatchers;221,000 for Choctaw beans;and hun
43、dreds of thousands for southeastern mollusks.6More than 11,000 square miles were proposed as protected critical habitat for Hawaiian monk seals in 2011.The proposal responds to a 2008 petition by the Center and allies to protect beaches and coastal waters for critically endangered monk seals among t
44、he rarest marine mammals in the world,with a population of about 1,000.Some 3,000 acres of habitat were protected for the thread-leaved brodiaea(right).After more than a decade fighting for the beluga whales of Alaskas Cook Inlet and despite the powerful,well-funded opposition of both the state and
45、vested industry interests the Center won a final,definitive designation of almost 2 million acres of protected critical habitat for these charismatic and rare marine animals in spring 2011.The habitat protection will help repel threats to the belugas that include industrial and oil development,pollu
46、tion,sewage discharge,gillnets,ship traffic,sonar devices and underwater seismic blasting.With our partners,we petitioned for the belugas Endangered Species Act protection for the first time in 1999 and for a second time in 2006.When the federal government dragged its feet,we sued twice to force it
47、to obey the law and throw a lifeline to the whales,both in 2000 and 2008.When the state added insult to injury and belugas were singled out as targets by then-Gov.Sarah Palin,who filed suit to remove their protection,we intervened against that vengeful position in 2010 and in 2011 Palins specious su
48、it was finally thrown out by a judge.The 3,000-square-mile beluga protection zone is crucial to the future of the remaining 300 or 400 white whales still eking out a living in Alaskas most populous,fastest-growing watershed.Were now pushing the government to develop a recovery plan for the Inlets be
49、lugas,since the threats to these vulnerable mammals are too pressing and complex to be addressed by critical habitat alone.2 Million Acres for Great White Whales7The Center won nearly 2 million acres of protected critical habitat for Alaskas Cook Inlet beluga whales in spring 2011 an area larger tha
50、n Delaware.Were now pushing the government to develop a recovery plan for the inlets white whales,of which only 300 or 400 survive.8Victory for the Grand CanyonStarting in 2008,spurred by a uranium boom,the Center worked intensively to prevent new mining of uranium around Grand Canyon National Park.
51、Our lawsuit that year,opposing the Kaibab National Forests green-light of a plan for uranium drilling at 39 sites just south of the park,won what lawyers call a“complete victory,”halting the project that April and anchoring our future work to protect the canyon from the toxic legacy of uranium minin
52、g.In 2011 that work which consisted of coalition-building,policy advocacy,litigation and energetic media outreach resulted in a federal proposal to protect 1 million acres of public land around Grand Canyon National Park from new uranium mining.That plan was undermined by the state,when it issued ai
53、r and water-pollution permits to new mines,and by Republican lawmakers,who tried unsuccessfully in October to overturn the feds temporary ban and open those 1 million acres of public lands to mining.Still,we kept the pressure on,among other actions filing an appeal in November with American Indian t
54、ribes and other conservation groups in the 9th Circuit Court challenging the reopening of a uranium mine near Grand Canyon National Park without updating decades-old environmental reviews.And a few days into the new year,our years of work paid off when the Interior Department finalized the decision
55、wed fought so hard to promote:to protect 1 million acres of public land around Grand Canyon National Park from new uranium mining for the next 20 years.Years of work to protect the Grand Canyon region paid off in 2011 with the Interior Departments 20-year ban on new uranium mining across 1 million a
56、cres around the canyon.9Leading the Fight Against Keystone XLThe high-profile,1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline was a rallying point for the environmental community in 2011,leading to the arrest of more than 1,000 peaceful protesters outside the White House.Thousands of Center for Biological Diversity
57、 supporters signed up for a second demonstration,in fall,and a few weeks later President Obama announced he would reject the pipeline proposal.Keystone XL would carry up to 35 million gallons of bituminous oil every day from Canadas tar sands,one of the dirtiest energy sources in the world,to Texas.
58、It would represent a massive investment in fossil fuels just when we desperately need to phase them out,and would directly threaten at least 20 rare or endangered species,from whooping cranes to pallid sturgeons as well as pristine wildlife habitat and a key Midwest water source.The Center led the l
59、egal opposition to Keystone XL,filing a lawsuit in Nebraska in October because even though the pipeline had yet to be approved work crews were already mowing 100 miles of native prairie grasses and capturing and removing endangered species.We expanded the suit later that month to challenge bogus cla
60、ims that spills from the pipeline would be unlikely.Despite the presidents rejection of the pipeline early in 2012,seen as a resounding victory for conservationists,Republicans in Congress are still pushing to see Keystone XL go through whether in full or piece by piece.Backed by Big Oil,they like t
61、o claim that Obamas rejection of Keystone XL would cost tens of thousands of jobs though in reality it would result in only about 20 permanent,operational jobs in the United States.Center staff and supporters(including our mascot Frostpaw and author Barbara Kingsolver)joined thousands of people prot
62、esting plans to build the Keystone XL pipeline.We were also among the first to file legal challenges to the project.10Halting Offshore Drilling in the ArcticThe Center and our Alaskan allies have,over the past few years,successfully blocked offshore oil development in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas t
63、hrough a series of lawsuits.In 2009,a federal court threw out the Bush administrations five-year plan for offshore development because that plan ignored the Arctics environmental sensitivity.In 2010 we won a court order stopping drilling in the Chukchi Sea because of poor environmental review and fo
64、ught off an extremely risky Arctic BP project called“Liberty;”and in 2011 we successfully challenged Shells air permits,stopping looming summer drilling.As a result,Shell Oil slated to drill in the Arctic every year since 2007 has not yet stuck its drills in the water.But the pressure continues to e
65、scalate.In September 2011,we and our allies challenged Shells expanded Beaufort Sea drilling plan for 2012.In October,the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management released a decision saying that poor environmental review wasnt a good enough reason to prevent oil and gas leasing in the Chukchi and s
66、oon after that,the Obama government released a new five-year plan for offshore oil development opening both the Beaufort and the Chukchi to drilling.We challenged Shells air permits for drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in summer 2012.The struggle to save the Arctic Ocean is far from over.Sh
67、ells oil-drilling plans for this year are even more extreme than previous schemes.The Center and our many partners committed to stopping the despoiling of Arctic waters continue to battle it out in court,while at the same time pressing,on a policy level,for a permanent halt on offshore drilling in a
68、ll American waters,beginning in Alaska.Bearded and ringed seals,along with polar bears and walruses,are threatened by oil drilling in the Arctic.The Center and allies have successfully blocked offshore oil development for years in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas but the struggle to save the Arctic con

70、he bears legally protected status by the state of Alaska and other,chiefly fossil-fuel,interests.Along with our allies,we prevented Arctic oil drilling for another summer by stopping Shell from sinking its drill bits into polar bear critical habitat in the Beaufort Sea.And we intervened in an oil in
71、dustry lawsuit seeking to strip the bears 120-million-acre“critical habitat”protection.We also initiated an effort to help save Canadas polar bears,filing a formal challenge over Canadas failure to protect the bears under its Species At Risk Act.Our challenge was filed under an environmental compone
72、nt of the North American Free Trade Agreement,or NAFTA,designed to monitor the three signatory countries compliance with their own environmental laws.In the first days of 2012,we filed a formal request with the U.S.Department of the Interior to initiate trade sanctions against Canada for violating t
73、he 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears a treaty among the worlds five polar bear nations when it quadrupled the number of polar bears to be hunted from the already-declining Western Hudson Bay population.Despite a Center suit against Shell drilling in polar bear habitat in the Beaufort
74、 Sea,in August 2011 the Obama administration said it would allow Shell drilling to begin in summer 2012 threatening polar bears,bowhead whales and other Arctic animals.When this report went to press,we were fighting that decision with a mass mobilization,petition drive and citizen video campaign to
75、pressure the federal government to reverse its course and say no to drilling in the irreplaceable Arctic.The Center won an important legal victory for the polar bear,defeating an effort by the oil industry and the state of Alaska to strip its hard-won protection under the Endangered Species Act.2011

87、ar for Saving Species14Celebrating the Endangered Species ActThe Centers executive director testified in Congress this year defending the Endangered Species Act from congressional attacks.Detractors make outlandish and counterfactual claims about its effectiveness,but as the Center showed the House
88、Natural Resources Committee with hard data,the Act is a success by any measure:99.9 percent of species with its protection have been kept from extinction and,where measured,93 percent of protected species are moving toward recovery.Ideological critics complain that the Act is failing because only 1
89、percent of endangered species have recovered and been removed from the list.But these critics fail to explain why they think more species should have recovered by now:Pulling species back from the brink of extinction isnt a job with overnight results.On average,recovery plans written for endangered
90、species predict theyll need 42 years after their listing to be recovered;and the average time that one of the 1,400 species now protected by the Act has had that protection is a mere 21 years.Hundreds of listed species have strong recovery trends and are not slated to reach full recovery for several
91、 decades.Their progress clearly indicates the Act works.With the help of the Act,whooping cranes have increased from just 54 birds in 1967 to 599 in 2011;the Hudson River population of shortnose sturgeon increased from about 12,000 fish in 1979 to about 56,000 in 1996;Hawaiian geese increased from 3
92、00 birds The Endangered Species Act is saving Florida panthers.Though its still critically endangered,the panther has increased from just 40 individuals in the 1980s to 130 in 2010.in 1980 to 1,700 in 2006;Florida panthers,though still critically endangered,increased from a maximum of 40 individuals
93、 in the 1980s to 130 by 2010;and Utah prairie dogs numbers grew from 3,300 in 1973 to 11,300 in 2010.This year the Lake Erie water snake was taken off the endangered list because of its recovery;the wood stork recovered sufficiently to be ready for downlisting from“endangered”to“threatened”;and the
94、Catalina Island fox,which had fallen to a low of only 100 individuals about a decade ago,has rebounded to 1,500 individuals following its listing in 2004.15When endangered species need a voice,Bill Collins knows he can depend on the Center to provide one.Recently,when his local city council was cons

96、sense work of saving threatened and endangered birds,fish and other species can go on.The Center has a long history of fighting for species large and small,with a modest budget and a passionate staff willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.“With the Center,theres no glossy magazines,no c
97、alendars,no address stickers,just cost-effective advocacy for nature,”Bill says.“Ive cut back on supporting organizations that seem to spend more resources raising money than raising hell.”Leaving a legacy of support for the Center will keep us fighting for endangered species for decades to come.Fin

100、 an attorney dedicated solely to these animals and their welfare.Under her leadership our campaign filed individual petitions in 2011 to secure Endangered Species Act protection for boreal toads,eastern diamondback rattlesnakes and 20 species of freshwater turtles.We undertook the unprecedented and
101、labor-intensive task of drafting a highly ambitious,300-page petition to protect more than 50 species of amphibians and reptiles,including six turtles,eight snakes,three toads,four frogs,10 lizards and 24 salamanders.This superpetition has a scheduled filing date in summer 2012.We launched lawsuits
102、against the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to produce recovery plans for California tiger salamanders and mountain yellow-legged frogs,and also over a plan to dredge wetlands next to Mississippi gopher frogs last remaining breeding pond.Working with two prominent herpetologists to achieve
103、 protection for the narrow-headed garter snake,we submitted a status report that demonstrates the Arizona snake is rapidly disappearing and needs Endangered Species Act protection.We submitted numerous comment letters to agencies to save salamanders and frogs and conducted,along with young activists
104、,an energetic campaign to convert brutal rattlesnake roundups in Georgia to kill-free wildlife festivals winning an exciting victory in the new year that transformed one of the two remaining“roundups”in the state.With allies we launched the Global Amphibian Blitz,a citizen science project curated by
105、 a team of scientists that allows amateur naturalists around the world to submit their amphibian photographs along with dates and GPS locations.And finally,after offering a financial reward for any sightings of South Florida rainbow snake which we fear may have prematurely been declared extinct we j
106、oined a field expedition to search for the snake ourselves.Amphibians and reptiles,such as the flat-tailed horned lizard(top)and the California red-legged frog,are among the most vulnerable species on Earth.The Center is dramatically ramping up its work to save herpetofauna from extinction.17Prevent
107、ing Wildlife PoisoningTo reduce the dangers posed by pesticides and other toxics to wildlife,and especially rare and vulnerable species,the Center in 2011 filed the most comprehensive legal action ever brought under the Endangered Species Act:We filed suit against the EPA for its failure to consult
108、with federal wildlife agencies over the impacts of hundreds of pesticides,known to be harmful,on more than 200 endangered and threatened species.We joined more than 130 groups in 35 states in writing a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency asking it to use all the tools at its disposal to pr
109、otect public health and imperiled wildlife from hundreds of harmful pesticides;and we submitted more than 43,000 comments from Center supporters asking the EPA to ban atrazine,a chemical that deforms frogs and harms human health.In California,we sued the federal government over its failure to protec
110、t endangered California red-legged frogs from more than 60 pesticides.Finally,following a Center notice of intent to sue,we landed a promise from the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service to clean up toxic lead paint on Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean that kills up to 10,000 Laysan albatross chicks every
111、year and threatens endangered Laysan ducks.Lead and other toxics threaten wildlife around the country,especially rare species like endangered California condors.The Center is ramping up its work to save species from pesticides,lead and toxics.187 Billion and CountingThe Centers overpopulation progra

115、tive volunteers,we distributed 100,000 of our resoundingly popular,and free,Endangered Species Condoms handed out in all 50 states.We produced and publicized a report highlighting the 10 American species most urgently threatened by overpopulation.On New Years Eve,we launched the“Hump Smarter Hotline
116、,”an irreverent toll-free number about keeping passions in check for the sake of species.And we published the first full year of our monthly electronic newsletter,Pop X,along with a string of short videos documenting our organizers expeditions to places where human population growth is pushing endan
117、gered species toward extinction.19Stopping the Extinction RiderIn July 2011 the Center for Biological Diversity,our partners,and thousands of supporters worked intensively to stop a disastrous budget-bill rider from being passed by Congress.Our fight was critical,as the rider would have stopped all
118、federal spending on Endangered Species Act protections for new species and habitat.In the end,the U.S.House of Representatives voted 224-202 to strip the devastating“extinction rider”from the Interior Departments appropriation bill.The rider,part of a concerted campaign by far-right ideologues in Co
119、ngress to undermine federal law in general and federal wildlife protection in specific,would have spelled disaster for hundreds of animals and plants across the country that require the protection of the Endangered Species Act to survive and recover.By publishing op-eds in outlets like Huffington Po
120、st on the eve of the vote,rallying more than 50,000 of our supporters to write their senators demanding that they oppose the rider,and working intensively on advocacy in Washington,the Center and our allies in the conservation community were able to push through a narrow but decisive victory.Our maj
121、or victory for endangered species couldnt have gone forward without help from both parties,showing that there were politicians on both sides of the aisle willing to step up and defend the Endangered Species Act:Among those mobilized to vote against the devastating rider were 36 Republicans.The Cente
122、r and other conservation groups won a major victory in Congress by defeating the“extinction rider,”which would have stopped the government from spending money to protect new species under the Endangered Species Act or to protect critical habitat for species like the endangered mountain caribou.Clean
123、 Air and Our CitiesThe federal Clean Air Act,a groundbreaking law that gave much of the world a model for better air-pollution control,has protected the air Americans breathe for almost half a century now.Its directly responsible for saving many thousands of lives and broadly improving public health
124、 while at the same time cutting costs.Its also the best law on the books for cutting greenhouse gas emissions fast:The Clean Air Act has unique potential to curb climate change.But all the Acts rules administered by the EPA are under attack from the fossil fuel industry and its allies in Congress,co
125、nstantly working to slow down and weaken the EPAs use of the Act.So the Center is campaigning actively,through litigation,policy advocacy and educational media,to defend those rules,which help protect our air and climate and could do even more.Thanks in part to our work,the tail end of 2010 brought
126、a court denial of an industry attempt to halt implementation of some Clean Air Act rules,meaning regulation of greenhouse gas pollution from the biggest industrial polluters began on Jan.2,2011.Were actively working on local,regional and national levels to promote the use of the Act:Our Climate Law
127、Institute,for instance,launched“Clean Air Cities”in 2011,a nationwide campaign rallying cities around the country to call on the Obama administration to use the Act quickly and powerfully to reduce carbon pollution.From October through December 2011,we earned resolutions supporting the Clean Air Act
128、 as a crucial tool against global warming from nine cities:Albany,N.Y.;Berkeley,Santa Monica,Arcata,and Richmond,Calif.;Seattle,Wash.;Pittsburgh,Pa.,Tucson,Ariz.;and Boone,N.C.In early 2012,as this report went to press,more and more cities were signing up.By the end of 2012,our goal is to have resol
129、utions passed by at least one city in each of the 50 states.20Cities around the country,including Seattle,have joined the Centers Clean Air Cities campaign,which calls on President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency to use the Clean Air Act to cut carbon pollution and reduce the risk of c
130、atastrophic climate change.21Innovation and Creative MediaThe Center continues to be an innovator in environmental media generation,producing more than 1,000 media hits every month,and continues to achieve more earned media per budget dollar than any of our conservation peers.We mobilized hundreds o
131、f thousands of supporters to take action on behalf of wildlife,wild places and a healthy climate this year and used inexpensive but high-impact media tools to bring attention to campaigns like 7 Billion and Counting,our energetic campaign on the link between human overpopulation and species extincti
132、on.This year we gave away 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms,garnering high-profile praise in The New York Times,where were regularly featured as well as in the Wall Street Journal,Washington Post and numerous other major news outlets.We launched several huge video ads in New York Citys Times S
133、quare,inspiring activists around the country to host events highlighting the overpopulation-extinction link.We also unveiled a new interactive map that offers information on endangered species in every county in the United States.We draw attention to key issues and events through numerous press rele
134、ases and other outreach materials in 2011,we became regular op-ed columnists in Huffington Post,for instance.We also reach out through nonprint media to expand our audience and bring information to a younger demographic.In August we launched a new app for Android cell phones called“Species Finder,”w
135、hich allows users to call up a comprehensive list of all threatened and endangered species in whatever county users are passing through.Our Endangered Species ringtones closed in on a half-million downloads in 2011,and our lifelike and charismatic polar bear mascot,Frostpaw,was readily visible at th
136、e nationally publicized Keystone XL rally outside the White House.A new mobile phone app from the Center allows users to find endangered species wherever they are in the United States with just a few finger taps.The Species Finder is our latest creative media project connecting people to nature.22He
137、lp for Four Forests of Southern California There are four national forests in Southern California the Angeles,Cleveland,Los Padres and San Bernardino that together,with a combined area of more than 3.5 million acres,make up a varied and irreplaceable network of ecosystems,wildlife and plants of whic
138、h many are found nowhere else on Earth.Not only do these stunning forests offer the best access to nature for millions of urban and suburban Californians and tourists,theyre also home to almost 500 rare and vanishing species in need of special protection.Surrounded by an ever-expanding sea of urban
139、sprawl,these four national forests are the last refuge for many Southern California plants and animals.But the U.S.Forest Service has persisted for decades in mining these priceless public-heritage lands for their extractive resources making its priorities destructive cattle grazing,oil and gas dril
140、ling and logging,and the construction of mile upon mile of roads and transmission lines.Destructive ORV use and poor fire management have also hurt the four forests endangered species;the Forest Services 2005 management plans for the forests were deeply flawed,failing to protect either the forests o
141、r the creatures that live in them.The Centers long fight to protect this Southern California landscape began with a 1998 lawsuit that produced a settlement requiring the Forest Service to update its forest management plans to offer more protection to rare and declining species.Along with our allies,
142、we watched over the Services changes to its management plans and pressed for stronger environmental protections over the next half-decade even going so far as to develop our own rigorous,scientifically based alternative forest plan.In May 2005 we submitted a report identifying the forests biodiversi
143、ty hotspots,recommending a high level of protection for them.But the Services response was weak,so the Center led an appeal of the plans in 2006,filed suit against the Forest Service again in 2008 and had a win in 2009 when a federal Steelhead trout are among dozens of species that will benefit from
144、 a hard-won court decision in June 2011 to increase protections for wildlife in national forests in Southern California.23district court judge agreed with us that the management plans didnt do enough to protect the forests wildest areas 974,000 acres of roadless land.And in June 2011,a court finally
145、 ordered increased protections for more than 40 embattled species on the four forests.The decision ordered new protective measures to be developed and put in place within six months,including new measures to prevent endangered species from being hurt or killed and interim protections for species and
146、 habitat while longer-term safeguards are being developed.The many plants and animals that will benefit from our victory on the four forests include steelhead trout,southwestern willow flycatchers,California spotted owls,California condors which are rebounding from a low of only 28 birds in the mid-
147、1980s California red-legged frogs and arroyo toads.The Center has been fighting since 1998 to protect species,including the California spotted owl,that live in four national forests in Southern California.A judges decision in 2011 required that new protective measures be put in place to safeguard mo
148、re than 40 imperiled species.24The Oceans Ancient NomadsSea turtles have survived since the age of the dinosaurs,and yet now are on the brink of winking out if we dont fight hard to stop their extinction.The Center works ambitiously to give loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles new federal protecti
149、ons;our work to reduce fisheries bycatch has helped all North American sea turtles.Loggerheads are particularly imperiled in the North Pacific Ocean,where theyre geographically isolated and genetically different from loggerheads in the Atlantic,Indian and South Pacific oceans.In 2011,in response to
150、two legal petitions by the Center and our allies,the National Marine Fisheries Service finally recognized the peril theyre facing.The agency designated the North Pacific loggerhead sea turtle“endangered”under the Endangered Species Act,upgrading its status from the less-protective classification of“
151、threatened.”Were working now to make sure loggerheads have protection and protected habitat in both the Pacific and Atlantic.In the Gulf of Mexico,in the wake of the BP oil-spill disaster after which a record 322 dead sea turtles were found on Gulf beaches,we and allies filed a notice of intent to s
152、ue the National Marine Fisheries Service if it didnt protect all endangered turtles in the region from entanglement and drowning in shrimp trawls.Also in 2011 a judge ruled positively in a separate suit by the Center and allies,calling on the Fisheries Service to protect imperiled sea turtles like l
153、oggerheads from death and injury from the Gulfs bottom longline fishery.Our campaign to save leatherback sea turtles giant,champion swimmers with diving capabilities unmatched by other turtles met with an exciting victory in the new year when,in the wake of two Center lawsuits,the National Marine Fi
154、sheries Service finally granted the turtle 40,000 square miles(the equivalent of more than 25 million acres)of protected critical habitat off California,Oregon and Washington.It was the first critical habitat for leatherbacks designated in continental U.S.waters and the largest area ever set aside t
155、o protect sea turtle habitat in the United States or its territories.The Center won important new decisions for sea turtles in 2011,including stronger Endangered Species Act protections for loggerheads(top)and 40,000 square miles of protected habitat for leatherbacks along the West Coast.Larry and J
156、ackie Stern have always loved the ocean.Jackie grew up on the Atlantic coast of Guyana and spent her summers in the rainforest;Larry grew up in Brooklyns Sheepshead Bay and lived near the ocean in San Francisco before moving to Tucson.Years ago Larry,a neurologist,went back to school part-time to st
157、udy marine biology at the University of Arizona and developed a particular interest in imperiled species in the Gulf of California-including the vaquita,a small harbor porpoise considered one of the worlds most endangered cetaceans.The Sterns are enthusiastic supporters of the Center,increasing thei
158、r generous giving because of the extraordinary dedication of the staff and its use of litigation to raise public awareness and spur protection of some of the planets rarest plants and animals.Theyre particularly inspired by the Centers Oceans program,which is tackling pollution,overfishing and ocean
