Breaking News and updates on the legal actions being taken by EARTHJUSTICE to SAVE AND PROTECT OUR ENDANGERED SPECIES, AND THE ENVIRONMENT...Our honeybees are in severe danger and if we as advocates to nothing but talk the talk they will be lost forever. Our food supply will be gone and our Earth as we know it, as there will be no pollination. The toxic chemicals being sprayed are wiping out are bee population by the millions. I watched as a orange grower next to a large commercial bee farm here in Florida starting spraying and wiped out 200 hives, including nukes which 1 queen bee is raised and eventually placed in a hive. I immediately told the owner to please call Environmental Protection Agency and I offered to go directly to the farm next to the beekeeper and ask them to stop spraying toxic chemicals and resort to the alternatives available. Remember these toxic chemicals are being sprayed on fruit trees everywhere, oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes. Wow and you as the consumer are eating them, and drinking the juice from them. This is a environmental catastrophe, and we as advocates must stand behind the organizations that are doing everything possible to correct these dangers and holding major corporations accountable for their actions in destroying our Earth and eliminating our pollinators everyone of them.... Wolves are in the clear in California.. that is the best news yet!!! BRAVO EARTHJUSTICE. Please take the time to sign the petitions and share our news!!! Mahalo

With a team of more than 100 legal experts on staff and more than 400 active cases, Earthjustice is holding accountable those who threaten to harm our environment and break our bedrock environmental laws.

The court gets it right for wolves
A judge upheld California’s endangered species protections for wolves, but one lone wolf’s journey across state lines shows that federal protections are necessary for their continued survival.

“The President’s cynical political spectacle is creating enormous suffering for thousands of real people whose lives are at stake. We must stand in solidarity with border communities. And we must be prepared to use the full power of the law to do so.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Keep neuro-poisons like mercury and arsenic out of our air, water, and food chain
Under the leadership of a former coal lobbyist, the EPA is making a mockery of its mission to protect public health by gutting the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. These critical protections prevent up to 11,000 premature deaths and 130,000 asthma attacks every year.
TAKE ACTION
A former coal lobbyist should not lead the EPA
The EPA is in danger of being taken over by a friend of corporate polluters. Again. Tell your senators: Reject former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler as EPA chief.
TAKE ACTION
Overruling Trump: 118 lawsuits filed for the environment against the Trump administration.
The Earth needs a good lawyer. And in this dark hour, Earthjustice has 130. We’re the lawyers for the environment, and the law is on our side. Learn more.
