The facts are clear: Manatee populations have experienced an unusually high number of deaths since the species was removed from the endangered species list in 2017. With your help, we can demand greater protections for imperiled manatees.
Manatee deaths spiked drastically in 2021 and 2022 when we saw record-breaking numbers. And now, in 2024, more baby manatees than ever before have died.
By upgrading the status of an animal to endangered under United States law, federal and local governments put measures and regulations in place that protect imperiled species and the ecosystems upon which they depend.
Make a difference for our beloved manatees and call on the U.S. Department of the Interior to relist the species as endangered today.
