On Monday, the Trump administration announced sweeping new changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that will weaken the law's conservation impact
What's happening:
Under the new rules, threatened species would no longer be automatically awarded the same protections as species classified as endangered. The change would for the first time allow regulators to consider the economic impact of habitat protection — such as lost revenue from a ban on logging or mining — in their decision making.
Some have called the new provisions a handout to destructive business interests like the fossil fuel industry. The changes, some argue, will result in many of the 1 million species at risk of extinction disappearing forever.
