Trump is launching a brutal attack on endangered
animals—gutting one of the
world’s strongest wildlife laws to clear the path for corporate
destruction.
His proposed rule would rewrite
the Endangered Species Act so destroying habitats no longer
counts as harm, opening the floodgates for developers to
bulldoze even the most fragile places
This change could accelerate extinction for countless
species.
But if we act now, we have a
chance to stop it. The new rule is open for public comment, and if
enough of us speak out, we can create a political firestorm that
forces decision-makers to back down.

species
The Endangered Species Act is a lifeline that has saved 99% of
animals under its care. It
brought iconic animals like the bald eagle, grizzly bears, and the
humpback whale back from the brink.
But Trump’s latest move would gut
its core protections—erasing 50 years of progress with a single
stroke. Under the new rule, loggers, developers, and
energy companies could destroy vital habitat without
consequence, as long as they
claim they didn’t intend to harm the animals living
there.
It’s a gift to polluters, and a death sentence for endangered
species.
And this attack doesn’t stop at
U.S. borders—it sets a dangerous global precedent. If Trump
dismantles one of the world’s strongest wildlife laws, it gives
cover to governments and corporations everywhere to do the same.
The good news: momentum is
already building. Democratic leaders like Senator Cory Booker
are speaking out, and advocates are mobilizing. Now, during the
public comment period, we need to make as much noise as
possible. If enough of us raise our voices—and get
more political leaders to join in—the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
will have no choice but to hold the line and refuse to bend to
Trump’s extinction agenda. Let’s flood them with public pressure
and demand they protect endangered animals and the wild places they
call home.
Add your name now to stop Trump’s extinction
plan
This is what our movement is made
for. For years, the Ekō community fought to win the EU ban on
bee-killing pesticides, and when the pesticide industry tried to
overturn it, we held the line. Now let’s do it again and block the
dismantling of the Endangered Species Act.
