Endangered Species at Risk | US News
Description
Nine environmental groups are suing the Trump administration over a historic rollback of the Endangered Species Act — specifically, the removal of a 50-year-old definition of “harm” that protected wildlife by safeguarding their habitats. The lawsuit argues this move dangerously redefines what counts as illegal harm, effectively letting the government ignore habitat destruction that disrupts breeding, feeding, and survival. Plaintiffs, including the Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity, claim the decision is politically motivated, arbitrary, and violates the law’s core mission. This latest action joins a pattern of environmental rollbacks under the administration — from clean energy cuts to climate denial — making this case a pivotal battle for species survival.
