Under the new rule, incidental harm — like bats dying in a tree cut down for logging — wouldn’t trigger penalties, sparking outrage from environmentalists who say it weakens protections for species like the bald eagle. The administration defends the change as restoring the law’s original intent and citing a Supreme Court ruling limiting agency interpretations, though experts warn this could reduce oversight and permit requirements for industries, creating legal uncertainty for wildlife protection.
