Patrick Donnelly, biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity and advocate for the rare and endangered Tiehm's buckwheat plant, examines on of the plants at a site where the endemic wildflower grows, just beside the site of the proposed Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron mine in Rhyolite Ridge, Nevada on May 7, 2024. Tiehm's buckwheat, which grows on just 10 acres of public land in the Silver Peak Range of Nevada's Esmeralda County, is threatened by the proposed lithium mine that advocates say would destroy nearly all of Tiehm's buckwheat habitat.
