NATIONAL WINS
With allies, we defeated an illegal attempt to gut the Migratory Bird Treaty Act that would have let polluters off the hook for killing birds.
After a 13-year battle, we stopped the rubber-stamping of permits for coal mining in the habitat of endangered species nationwide.
The Center and allies scored a legal victory that ended the rapid-fire approvals of stream-crossing permits (NWP 12) for pipelines that halted Keystone XL and temporarily halted other new pipeline crossings nationwide. Public pressure and multiple lawsuits led to the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast pipeline, denial of a key permit for the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate extension, and the shutdown of the Dakota Access pipeline until further review.
