North Carolinians Travel to Washington to Hand-Deliver Letter Urging Congress to Reject Attacks on the Endangered Species Act
Delegation warns that weakening the ESA would threaten wildlife, local economies, and communities




The Southeast is a region alive with motion. In the Everglades—one of America’s most unique and endangered habitats—slow-moving rivers of water wind through cypress swamps. Warm ocean waters sustain the rainforests of the sea, our coral reefs, while critically endangered pine forests provide roosts for threatened and endangered wildlife. Shaped by water, heat, hurricanes, and resilience, the Southeast is a landscape unlike any other.

This is where the nation began.
It’s also where some of our earliest wildlife losses happened — and where endangered species are still fighting to survive today.
