US states sue over changes to wildlife protections

Several US states have initiated two separate lawsuits against the administration of President Donald Trump. These legal actions allege that the federal government illegally weakened the protections provided under the Endangered Species Act. The lawsuits focus on changes made to wildlife protections, claiming that the administration's modifications to the federal act were unlawful. This legal challenge seeks to address the perceived degradation of environmental safeguards intended to protect various endangered species across the United States.
