Trump administration opens endangered species' habitats to development, reversing 50 years of environmental law

The Trump administration reversed fifty years of environmental law by opening endangered species' habitats to development. By altering the definition of the word harm within the Endangered Species Act, the government may limit wildlife protections across the United States. In response to these changes, environmental groups have filed lawsuits to stop the administration from implementing these modifications to the longstanding legal framework designed to protect endangered species from habitat loss and ensure their continued survival.
