Biden administration strengthens Endangered Species Act protections ...
Quick Glance: Biden reinstates protections for threatened species
  • The Biden administration restored rules on Thursday to protect imperiled plants and animals that had been rolled back under former President Donald Trump.

  • The new rules include protections for species newly classified as threatened without considering economic impacts.

  • The proposed rules faced significant opposition from Republicans who argued that Biden's administration favored conservation over development.

  • Industry groups have long seen the 1973 Endangered Species Act as an impediment, leading to weaken environmental safeguards under the Trump administration.
