Trump administration wants to weaken the Endangered Species Act... Republicans Feel That Corporate Profit is more important than Animals...

How to comment on the Proposed Destruction of the Endangered Species Act. Help prevent the destruction of our environment...

The Endangered Species Act, or ESA, is the key piece of US legislation protecting wildlife. Since its passage in 1973, it’s been credited with helping the rebound of the bald eagle, the grizzly bear, the humpback whale, and many other species living throughout the US and in its waterways.

The strict regulations put in place by the act are often frustrating (and costly) roadblocks for industry like mining, and oil and gas drilling and for developers looking to build in areas where protected species live.


"Please make no changes at all to the Endangered Species Act. It is currently working great. Proposed changed by the Trump Administration seek to harm animals in order to increase Corporate Profits."
