Summary
The Interior Department just gutted a key endangered species protection rule, forcing wildlife to go through lengthy, case-by-case reviews instead of automatic safeguards — a move critics say opens the door for oil and gas companies to bulldoze habitats for monarch butterflies and alligator snapping turtles. Officials argue the Endangered Species Act has been overused, prioritizing species listing over recovery, while opponents warn it’s handing corporations too much power to override conservation. This rollback echoes Trump-era changes, now permanently reshaping how “harm” is defined, shrinking critical habitat for the Canada lynx, and shifting grizzly bear management to states — all as pressure mounts to delist species faster, even if they’re not fully recovered.
