## Resource

Colorado is leading a legal charge against federal changes to the Endangered Species Act, arguing new definitions of “harm” dangerously weaken protections for threatened wildlife and habitats. The state’s Attorney General joins other states in suing, claiming the revisions enable unchecked development and roll back decades of conservation progress. At stake are critical habitat designations, automatic protections for newly listed species, and the future of iconic animals like gray wolves—whose management has sparked fierce debate among ranchers, conservationists, and lawmakers. This isn’t just about wolves: it’s a high-stakes clash over how America balances economic growth with ecological survival—and the courts may soon decide the nation’s next chapter in species protection.
