Deep Green Resistance (DGR) is an environmental and social justice organization based on the book, Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet, published in 2011. Deep Green Resistance argues for a concerted, focused, and serious resistance movement that can stop the murder of the planet before it’s too late.

This page is maintained by volunteers as a community service. When we disagree, we keep it respectful. People who cross this boundary are banned without discussion. DGR has a defined Statement of Principles and Code of Conduct committed to safe spaces for all, and healthy organizational roots. DGR is made up of writers, community organizers, janitors, parents, grocery clerks, musicians, feminists, teachers, farmers, dishwashers, artists, caregivers, laborers, and students. We come from varied backgrounds, but we have one goal: to defend this planet that is our only home. We advocate for tactics that include the full range of nonviolent direct action & civil disobedience techniques, including blockades, protests, demonstrations. We are also committed to education and cultural work. That work is crucial as the future will demand strong local communities that embrace direct democracy, economies of support, universal human rights, and the rights of nature. As oppressive social and economic systems come down, we will have to build new cultures based on justice and a connection to the land. We recognize, however, that the life of our planet is in crisis: another two hundred species went extinct today, while across the continent the summer’s heat is approaching hell. The dedicated work of aboveground organizers will not be enough, not in time. Our planet needs a separate but parallel underground organization, dedicated to resisting in ways that fall outside the bounds of legal challenges and civil disobedience. As aboveground organizers, we don’t have any connection with an underground and we don’t want one. For the safety of all involved, a firewall must be maintained between above and belowground activists, with communication restricted to anonymous communiqués. Support can only be given in the realm of public opinion, but DGR believes in giving that support by arguing for the necessity of a serious, strategic, and coordinated underground. To have any chance of success, our movement will need loyalty, material support, and most of all, courage. The word “courage” comes from the same root as coeur, the French word for heart. We need all the courage of which the human heart is capable, forged into both weapon and shield to defend what is left of Earth, our only home. And the lifeblood of courage is, of course, love. For Earth to survive, she needs your heart. The songbirds and the salmon need your heart too, no matter how weary, because even a broken heart is still made of love. They need your heart because they are disappearing, slipping into that longest night of extinction, and the resistance is nowhere in sight. We will have to build that resistance from whatever comes to hand: whispers and prayers, history and dreams, from our bravest words and braver actions. It will be hard, there will be a cost, and in too many implacable dawns it will seem impossible. But we will have to do it anyway. So gather your heart and join with every living being. With love as our First Cause, how can we fail?

"Oh my gosh," the USFS and the timber industry and politicians and even some environmentalists tell us, "There are so many forest fires that we need to cut down all the forests to prevent forest fires."

Well, bu****it on that. Humans cause forest fires.

More than 80% of the wildfires that the Idaho Department of Lands has responded to this year have been caused by humans, Director Dustin Miller told an interim

The next generation of UK banknotes will celebrate some of Britain’s most beloved wildlife, with a barn owl, bumblebee, puffin and hedgehog chosen to feature on the new notes 🦔

The four species were selected following a huge public consultation, which received 478,531 responses, the largest response the Bank of England has ever received to a banknote imagery consultation 👏🏻

The buff tailed bumblebee was the most popular species overall, receiving more than 360,000 nominations, while the barn owl and hedgehog also received hundreds of thousands of nominations 🦉

The puffin is interesting because it was chosen as the most popular marine animal from the shortlist, helping to represent Britain’s wildlife around our coast as well as on land 🌊

The animals will become the central imagery on the next series of £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes, although we don’t yet know which animal will appear on which denomination

There is a bit of a wait before we can actually get our hands on them, Designing, testing and producing a new series of banknotes takes several years, so the wildlife notes won’t be appearing in our wallets just yet

Florida approved permits to drown beavers. Colorado, don’t let Amendment 83 make this our future.

Florida voters approved Amendment 2, a constitutional right to hunt and fish, in November 2024. In February 2026, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved a trapping overhaul that includes a permit allowing beavers to drown or asphyxiate. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation says it helped develop Florida’s amendment language. Now that same national lobby is campaigning for Colorado’s Amendment 83. Coloradans deserve to know what happened before we put its agenda into our Constitution.

Florida’s amendment put hunting, fishing and taking wildlife, including by “traditional methods,” into its Constitution as a public right and preferred means of wildlife management. It did not define traditional methods. Before the vote, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation said the amendment would not “legalize methods of take that are currently illegal,” accused opponents of misinformation and said it coordinated with Florida’s wildlife commission to support the amendment.

Read what that organization wants protected. Its guidance explicitly lists “Protection of traditional hunting methods such as trapping.” An older guide recommends language providing “stronger protection to trapping without actually mentioning trapping.” It acknowledges that trapping is controversial and threatens public support. The strategy was to protect it while avoiding the word. We were right to bring trapping into this debate. The lobby’s own documents proved our point.

That is the warning for Colorado. Amendment 83 also protects “traditional methods” without defining them and makes hunting and fishing the “preferred means” of managing wildlife populations. Hunting and fishing are already legal here, and a no vote keeps them legal. Colorado voters should not have to learn what we protected in a lawsuit after the campaign is over. We deserve the plain truth about trapping before these words go into our Constitution.

Picture a beaver caught by the foot, held underwater and unable to reach air. Its ability to swim and dive offers no escape when a trap prevents it from surfacing. Florida’s approved language expressly allows “the beaver drowning or asphyxiating.” Officials wrote those words and approved that exception, then promoted the overhaul as humane. Calling this humane is an insult to the animal struggling beneath the surface and to everyone expected to accept it. When a national lobby wants trapping defended as a constitutional right, this is the suffering Colorado voters deserve to see.

Now the same lobby is promoting Amendment 83 and criticizing opponents’ “emotional appeals.” You’re damn right this is emotional. We care about our state’s wildlife. We care about what goes into Colorado’s Constitution and who gets to use that language later. Compassion is not misinformation, and concern for wildlife is not something to dismiss because it makes a campaign uncomfortable.

Our beavers should not be held underwater until they die. Colorado voters should not be asked to protect “traditional methods” without being told what those methods involve. Florida has given us a warning, and Colorado has a chance to refuse this lobby’s agenda.

Vote no on Amendment 83. Then help us keep fighting for wildlife protections that cannot be quietly weakened by vague constitutional language.

Every contribution helps us educate voters, expose threats to Colorado’s wildlife and defend humane, science-based policies.

Together, we can stop this amendment and make sure Colorado’s future is not written by a national lobby that calls drowning animals tradition.
