JUST IN: Trump administration announces changes to how government handles endangered species, a move advocates say could make it more difficult to protect species threatened by human activity and climate change.
The Trump administration announced changes to how the government handles endangered species on Monday, a move that advocates say could make it more difficult to protect species that are threatened by human activity and climate change.
The changes would not alter the protections for species currently listed as threatened or endangered, but would apply to future decisions about changing listings. One of the new rules announced on Monday also formally defines"endangered" and"threatened," which will be used to decide if species should be protected or removed from the endangered species list. Under the rule"endangered" means a species is in danger of extinction now, while"threatened" means it is in danger of extinction in the foreseeable future.
