The new proposed rules would weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and limit the law’s effectiveness. The proposal includes: ❌ No automatic protections for newly listed animal and plant species. ❌ Narrower “critical habitat” definition, ignoring historic areas vital for recovery. ❌ Easier approval for agencies to fast-track harmful projects like logging or drilling. ❌ Allowing economic interests to outweigh science. The ESA is the best tool we have to fight the worsening biodiversity crisis, which puts a million species at risk of extinction. This law has already saved thousands of species of plants and animals from extinction over the course of its 50-year history. Earthjustice fought back against attacks on the ESA during the first Trump administration and we’re prepared to fight again. The public will have 30 days to issue comments on the Trump administration’s proposed rules. #ecotok #wildlife #endangeredspecies
