The Trump administration moved on Wednesday to roll back Biden-era protections for endangered species and their habitats.
The Interior Departments Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service proposed restoring rules from the first Trump administration that stripped safeguards for plants and animals threatened by human development and a warming planet.
Specifically, it lets economic factors be a main point when considering which endangered species merit protection under the longstanding environmental law. The two agencies also proposed to strip the so-called blanket rule, which extends endangered-level protections to species that are listed as threatened with extinction.
That blanket rule had been challenged in federal court by property rights groups, but that litigation had paused as the Trump administration rewrote the rule. The rule will now undergo a 30-day public comment period before it is finalized.
