Preserve the Endangered Species Act
The Endangered Species Act is endangered.
The Trump administration last week proposed major changes to parts of the 45-year-old law credited with saving countless species, including the Bald Eagle – our nation’s national symbol.
The proposal, of course, loosens regulations and favors commerce over conservation by allowing officials to consider economic impact when enforcing the act.
“We propose to remove the phrase, ‘without reference to possible economic or other impacts of such determination'” the proposal states.
