Attacks to the Endangered Species Act put vulnerable populations at risk

What's At Stake

The Endangered Species Act is once again under attack by the Trump Administration, putting species with rapidly declining populations at even greater risk. 

Days after taking office, Trump issued an executive order creating a committee with the power to greenlight controversial projects, even at the cost of wiping out entire species. He then ordered Interior Secretary Doug Burnum to “suspend, revise, or rescind” important Endangered Species Act regulations, particularly one that protects rapidly declining species but not yet on the brink of extinction, like manatees. 

We must defend the Endangered Species Act. Tell Secretary Burgum to stop this unnecessary attack on a wildly effective and widely popular law. 

In the coming decades, a million of the Earth’s species face the possibility of extinction due to climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. Even species not yet on the brink will face huge population declines. This extinction crisis means fewer and fewer pollinators to support our food supplies, depleted fisheries, and disappearing places like thriving rivers, wetlands, and life-supporting forests. 

Humans are not isolated from the natural environment, and what happens to other creatures affects our own existence, too. Tell Secretary Burgum and the Trump administration that you support the Endangered Species Act.
