The Trump administrations proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act are sparking controversy. The main proposal narrows the definition of harm, ignoring habitat damage, which could slash effective safeguards. This comes amid broader efforts to limit new species listings and ease removal of protections. For instance, the western monarch butterfly population has crashed, yet federal officials are delaying its protected status. Environmental organizations are fighting back with lawsuits, while California is countering with state-level steps to monitor and potentially add federally at-risk species to its own endangered list.
