Mission
The Center for Biological Diversity believes that human well-being is deeply connected to the natural world and the vast diversity of wild animals and plants it sustains. Recognizing that biodiversity holds intrinsic value and that its loss diminishes society, the organization is committed to securing a future for all species—both great and small—that are at risk of extinction. This mission is pursued through the application of science, legal advocacy, and creative media, with a strong emphasis on protecting the lands, waters, and climate essential for species survival. The Center envisions a future in which generations to come inherit a world where the wild still thrives.
