Similar Stories to Environmental Groups Just Sued The Trump Administration Over Its Endangered Species Act Rollback on Bing News

Environmental and animal rights groups are taking the Trump administration to court over rules finalized last week by the departments of Commerce and Interior weakening the Endangered Species Act’s protections. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday by Earthjustice on behalf of seven groups including the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Defenders of Wildlife, alleges the administration failed to analyze and disclose the rules’ impact as required by law, changed the rules without proper public comment, and violated the language and purpose of the Endangered Species Act. “This action is clearly intended to benefit developers and extractive industries, not species, and we are going to court to stop it,” said Jason Rylander, an endangered species lawyer with Defenders of Wildlife.
