How we produce food affects wildlife and our environment. The collateral damage from toxic agricultural practices are devastating for endangered and threatened wild plants and animals. In addition to causing damage from feed-crop production and grazing, meat producers directly target many wild animals. By the Center for Biological Diversity at TakeExtinctionOffYourPlate.com.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a non-profit working to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
Why is the Center for Biological Diversity focusing on reducing meat consumption?
When it comes to the causes of environmental destruction and overconsumption of resources, the meat industry is at the top of the list. Meat production uses massive amounts of water and land, and leaves behind devastating amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases. America’s livestock industry — particularly through grazing on public lands — is one of the greatest threats to endangered species and habitat.
