The Trump administration just took another wrecking ball to the Endangered Species Act — and wildlife will pay the price.
This latest attack will make it harder to protect places where imperiled species could live and raise their young.
It's a dangerous and destructive weakening of the Act.
Sign this petition to tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that this new rule should not be allowed.
The Trump administration's proposal changes how critical habitat is defined, limiting protections for forests, rivers and other areas where endangered species could recover in the future.
You can't save species — and you can't stop the extinction crisis — without protecting the lands and waters where they can live.
The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species under its protection.
From weakening the Act to dragging its feet on protecting individual species and pushing to dismantle protections for animals like gray wolves, the administration's assaults on the wild haven't stopped.
This rule will make it harder to save the areas where species like the northern spotted owl and dusky gopher frog could prosper. The administration is content to fence these imperiled species into small parcels of land, increasing their chances of extinction.
This proposal is a threat to wildlife and an unacceptable distortion of the Act itself. It must be blocked.
Sign the petition today to fight for the Endangered Species Act and the wildlife depending on it for survival.
