Join the Center for Biological Diversity and partners for the second installment in “Why It Matters,” a series where we explore environmental issues and current events with a focus on how individuals can make a difference.

In this webinar we’ll meet Elise Bennett, a Staff Attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity in St. Petersburg, FL, and learn about the scope of the Center’s work, some of the past and current projects the Center is involved with, and get to know more about Elise’s concentration on protecting endangered species and wild places here in Florida.

No matter your passion, be it endangered species, sustainability and conservation, or the intricacies of urban and wildland interfaces, Elise will help us understand the many ways we can take meaningful action to help protect our wildlife and the environment.

This webinar will take place over Zoom. This program is made possible by generous funding from the Friends of Weedon Island.

Our Mission: Saving Life on Earth

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants.

Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
