💨 Abstract

Three Democratic senators have asked the Trump administration to clarify the analysis behind a proposed rule to eliminate habitat protections for endangered species and whether industry had a role in drafting it. The rule, currently in a public comment period, redefines "harm" in the Endangered Species Act to exclude habitat modification, a change environmentalists argue could lead to the extinction of critically endangered species.
