90 Seconds to Understand the Attacks on the Endangered Species Act

Attacks on endangered wildlife are escalating, particularly following the Trump administration's dismantling of the Endangered Species Act. Key changes include the removal of the definition of "harm" related to habitat destruction and the end of automatic protections for newly listed species. This allows activities like logging and development to bypass crucial conservation requirements, potentially leading to increased wildlife deaths.

Additionally, the administration's "Extinction Committee" has granted exemptions to oil and gas operations, further endangering species like whales and sea turtles. Proposed congressional deals threaten to weaken wildlife reviews and hinder legal challenges against destructive projects. The Center for Biological Diversity is actively fighting these rollbacks in court. Support our efforts by donating and spreading the word.

Another Land Swap Threatens Public Lands: Cumberland Island

The Trump administration's proposed land swaps on Georgia's Cumberland Island National Seashore would permit the construction of eight 15,000-square-foot mansions, a private beach pavilion, and a road, undermining the preservation of this national park unit.

Cumberland Island is home to ancient live oak forests and is a crucial nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles. The proposed developments threaten to disrupt this fragile ecosystem. Will Harlan, the Center’s Southeast Director, highlights the importance of protecting our national treasures from becoming private playgrounds.
