Known for
Center for Biological Diversity
Kierán Suckling (born 1964) is one of the founders and the executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit conservation group known for its innovative approaches to the protection of endangered species, wilderness, clean air and clean water.[1]
The New Yorker dubbed the Center as "the most important radical environmental group in the country" and Suckling a "trickster, philosopher, publicity hound, master strategist, and unapologetic pain in the ass."[2] The LA Weekly calls the Center "pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the most effective conservation organization in the country," and says of Suckling: "Rimbaud reinvented poetry. Kierán Suckling would do the same with environmentalism."[3]
The Center, which has secured protection for over 700 endangered species and 475,000,000 acres (192,225,680 ha) of habitat in the U.S.,[4] works towards environmental protection.[5] It often comes under fire from logging, mining, pesticide, oil, coal and other industries.[5] Suckling founded the Center for Biological Diversity while working on his doctoral dissertation in 1989.[5]
He served as executive director from 1989 to 2004, policy director from 2005 to 2007, and became executive director again in 2008.[1]
