Changes to Endangered Species Act Will Harm Salmon, Tribes
Reported changes to the US Endangered Species Act are expected to weaken protections for salmon in the Pacific Northwest, according to the Seattle Times. The warning centers on impacts to salmon populations already under strain and on Native American tribes whose treaty rights, fisheries and cultural practices depend on the fish. Critics say the rollback would undermine decades of recovery work.
Why now: Policy changes to a major US environmental law threaten species and tribal communities that depend on them, prompting concern in the Pacific Northwest.
