Keep the Endangered Species Act Strong
Recently the Trump administration unveiled a proposal that would strip the Endangered Species Act of key provisions which will weaken the law enacted 45 years ago to keep plant and animal species in decline from going extinct. These revisions would end the practice of extending similar protections to species regardless of whether they are listed as endangered or threatened.
