Summary
The Trump administration just rewrote the Endangered Species Act, redefining “harm” to exclude habitat destruction — a move that could let developers, miners, and loggers bulldoze critical wildlife zones. Once, the law protected not just animals but the ecosystems they depend on; now, that’s in jeopardy. Environmental groups are furious, calling it a legal disaster that threatens species like the California condor right back to extinction. California — a biodiversity hotspot — is especially vulnerable. Legal battles are already brewing, as advocates argue the new rules lack science or legal grounding and could unleash a wave of environmental destruction. This isn’t just a policy tweak — it’s a potential turning point for conservation in America. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
