Trump Administration Protects Fewest Species Ever Under Endangered Species Act
Original: Trump Protects Fewest Species Ever Under Endangered Species Act
The Trump administration has extended Endangered Species Act protections to fewer species than any previous administration, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. The conservation group says the low number of new listings leaves wildlife at heightened risk, and the finding is drawing criticism from environmental advocates concerned about slowed protections for imperiled animals and plants.
Why now: Conservation groups are criticizing the administration's record-low rate of new endangered species protections.
