Summary
Colorado’s Attorney General Phil Weiser is leading a bold legal challenge against new federal rules that roll back protections for endangered species, joining fellow states in suing to stop changes that could open the door to oil drilling and development in critical habitats. Weiser argues these revisions gut the Endangered Species Act’s core mission, threatening Colorado’s 30+ vulnerable species and its outdoor heritage. The lawsuits target key shifts — including redefining “harm” and delaying automatic protections for newly listed species — while a separate controversy swirls around gray and Mexican wolves, whose federal protections are under review after a House bill passed to delist them. Though wolves were once removed from protection before being reinstated by court order, Colorado still safeguards them as an experimental population — a status that’s come under strain as some wolves have died from conflicts with livestock or other causes.
