ENDANGERED SPECIES
COALITION |
The
Trump Administration Just Launched Its Most Devastating Attack Yet
on the Endangered Species Act |
Hi Vladimir,
The Trump administration has officially
proposed sweeping new rules that would fundamentally weaken the
Endangered Species Act, our nation’s most effective wildlife
protection law.
If these rules move forward, they will
make it harder to protect species on the brink of extinction, easier
to erase existing protections, and nearly impossible to safeguard
the habitats, plants, and animals need to
survive. |
STOP
TRUMP'S EXTINCTION
PLAN |
Species like
monarch butterflies, organ pipe cactus, manatees, red wolves,
lesser long-nosed bats, and hundreds more could be pushed even
closer to disappearing forever.
This is one of
the most dangerous attacks on wildlife we have ever
seen. |
Here’s what’s
at stake. The proposed
rules would:
• Allow decisions
about protecting a species to be influenced by uncertain economic
impacts instead of relying on scientific evidence.
• Obstruct
protections for species newly threatened by climate change and
habitat destruction.
• Make it
easier to delist imperiled wildlife before recovery is
complete.
• Eliminate
automatic protections for threatened species.
• Strip away
critical habitat protections.
|
These rollbacks
don’t just weaken the ESA — they undermine the very idea that
science should guide decisions about wildlife
survival.
And the timing
could not be more dangerous. This comes alongside Trump
administration efforts to weaken habitat protections, dismantle the
Roadless Rule, roll back the Public Lands Rule, and even convene a
hand-picked committee of political appointees to decide which
species live or die. |
Protecting
wildlife, together,
Your friends
at the Endangered Species
Coalition |
We’re building
a national defense this year-end to protect the Endangered Species
Act and the iconic species it saves. Your gift will power the
movement to defend wolves, grizzlies, pollinators, and other at-risk
species from extinction.
Together, we
can protect their habitats, confront climate change, and keep our
natural heritage alive. Together, we are
stronger! |
