Trump Admin Narrows Endangered Species Definition | Charlotte News
Description
The Trump administration just rewrote the rules for the Endangered Species Act, narrowing “harm” to only mean direct killing or injury — effectively letting logging and drilling proceed in critical habitats as long as animals aren’t directly hurt. This move, backed by a Supreme Court ruling, claims to restore the law’s original intent and protect property rights, but environmentalists warn it’s a dangerous rollback — habitat destruction is the leading cause of extinction, and this change could undo decades of conservation progress.
