Trump administration announces changes to how government handles endangered species, a move advocates say could make it more difficult to protect species threatened by human activity and climate change.
The Trump administration announced changes to how the government handles endangered species on Monday, a move that advocates say could make it more difficult to protect species that are threatened by human activity and climate change.
Administration officials said the changes will still protect critical species and habitat but will also make the process more efficient and follow President Donald Trump's mandate to eliminate regulations. "We will look out into the future only so far as we can reliably predict, and not speculate," Frazer said on a call with reporters Monday."The language we use in our regs is that it'll go only so far as we can reasonably determine that the threats -- so this might be climate-induced changes to the physical environment and the species response to those threats -- are likely. So this really is very much a case-by-case determination.
Conservation advocates say the changes are another rollback that will weaken protections for many species and that they plan to challenge them in court. Advocates say changing the way the government decides which areas to protect could be a threat to species like polar bears, that are moving out of their traditional habitat as it faces increasing threats from climate change.
