Original: As Trump rolls back endangered species protections, US lawmakers push bill to support their recovery

The proposal would strengthen recovery efforts and funding for threatened wildlife. The clash highlights a growing political fight in Washington over the scope of federal environmental protections, with conservation groups backing the bill and industry interests generally supporting the administration's deregulation.
Why now: The Trump administration's rollback of endangered species protections has triggered a legislative countermove that is drawing attention from conservation and industry groups alike.
