The Center filed a formal notice of intent to sue the EPA yesterday for failing to enforce sanctions and federal regulations on states that missed a 2012 deadline to prove they're cleaning up air pollution.
"The Clean Air Act saves lives and protects ecosystems, but only when there is a plan to attack pollution at its source," said Jonathan Evans, the Center's Toxics and Endangered Species Campaign Director. "We need the EPA and Obama administration to show the political will to enforce the law and clean up the air breathed by millions of Americans."

Outrageous indeed.
OUTRAGEOUS: In an unprecedented move, the Forest Service has just approved Idaho's disastrous plan to eradicate two wolf packs deep within one of the largest, protected wilderness areas in the Lower 48? Why? So that hunters can kill more elk. http://ow.ly/srnYM
Our attorneys are furiously working to halt this plan, which undermines the very notion of having protected wilderness areas. These are majestic places that are supposed to be governed by nature - they are not elk breeding farms where hunters can bag another trophy. We're going to fight Idaho and the Forest Service tooth and nail on this.

When there are fewer of them, their prey — deer and elk, mostly — multiply. More plant eaters means more plants get eaten. And everything that depends on those plants, from birds to butterflies, is affected."

Fewer wolves means more deer, less grass, more stream erosion — and soon a river changes course.
This isn't 'hunting' folks!
Please take action now to urge Texas officials to ban the use of gasoline for hunting and protect Texas's snakes and other wildlife that share their underground homes.
Technology is drastically altering hunting and challenging the tradition of "fair chase". Drones -yes, drones- are now being deployed against wildlife by some hunters. Are state agencies ready?
