"Protecting Endangered Species and Wild PLaces
Through Science, Policy, Education, and Environmental Law."

The Center for Biological Diversity, based in Tuscon, Arizona, plays a lead role in protecting threatened and endangered species and their habitat across the western United States. The Center combines science, policy expertise, advocacy and legal resources in an effort to ensure that federal, state, and other land management policies affecting millions of acres throughout the west protect biological diversity and integrity of the land. Most recently, the Center, in cooperation with the Sierra Club and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, pressed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to improve the regulation of off-road vehicles abuse throughout the California Desert, namely, the Imperial Sand (Algodones) Dunes in Imperial County,California.
