Dear Elon,
Here's a list of @biologicaldiversity.org's accomplishments this week. We sued DOGE for hiding documents from the public and @realDonaldTrump thrice to save endangered species. Last week we sued Trump 7 times for destroying oceans, wetlands and wildlife.
Efficient enough for you?

New data shows that Utah cannot save the Great Salt Lake and keep growing water-thirsty crops like alfalfa and hay for cattle. Dietary shifts away from beef/dairy are a crucial strategy for lowering emissions, saving water and protecting wild places.

Breaking: @centerforbiodiv.bsky.social is calling on AZ Game & Fish Commission to ban dog pack hunting for mountain lions, bears, coati & other wildlife. Currently hunters use GPS-collared dogs to track wildlife for miles via smart phone apps & satellites, putting jaguars & ocelots at risk.

Monarch butterflies urgently need your help. This iconic, orange-and-black beauty was once common in backyards across the country — but its population has plummeted by 90 percent in the past 20 years.
