BREAKING: The Trump administration just gutted even more protections for threatened wildlife and critical habitat.

Today the Trump administration announced an issuance of two rules that substantially weaken protections for imperiled species. 

One action rescinded a rule that provided blanket protections for species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. This rule automatically prohibited actions that kill or injure threatened species, or destroy their habitat — but the Trump administration just rescinded it. 

The other action will reduce protections for the places where endangered species live by allowing corporations to limit critical habitat designations.

It shouldn't be up to corporations to decide where imperiled species safely live. 

We're going to fight back with everything we have and we're going to challenge both rules in federal court. 

One way you can help right now: Urge Democratic leaders in Congress to do everything in their power to restore essential habitat protections for endangered species. ➡️ biodiv.us/esa
