Help Save the Eastern Hellbender!
The Eastern Hellbender is disappearing, with over 80% of its historic range already lost.
This remarkable species, found in 15 states, is an indicator of clean water and healthy ecosystems — but its survival is under threat from sedimentation, climate change, habitat destruction, and disease.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the Hellbender as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. This is a crucial step toward funding efforts for conserving and restoring habitat — and YOU can make a difference.
Together, we can protect the Eastern Hellbender and the cool, clean freshwater streams we all depend on.
