Don’t let the Trump Admin Dismantle the Endangered Species Act
The Trump administration is at it again. The admin is proposing four regulatory changes to how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is implemented. Together, these changes would significantly undermine the efficacy of our best law protecting imperiled wildlife, fish and plants and their habitats. Join us in defending the ESA.
First, sign our petition below.
Then, submit your own unique comments in each of the four rulemaking portals:
- Rescinding automatic protections for “threatened species” under section 4(d) of the ESA: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0029-0001
- Allowing economic considerations to trump protecting habitat critical to the survival and recovery of an imperiled species: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0048-0001
- Reducing required cooperation between and amongst agencies when complying with the ESA’s requirements to safeguard imperiled species and their habitats. https://www.regulations.gov/document/FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0044-0001
- Making it more difficult to list a species or designate critical habitat under the ESA: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0039-0001
Thanks for taking action to defend the ESA!
