A coalition of advocacy groups filed a lawsuit seeking to block the new rules on endangered species that the Trump administration announced last week.
"In the midst of an unprecedented extinction crisis, the Trump administration is eviscerating our most effective wildlife protection law," Rebecca Riley, legal director of the nature program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement."These regulatory changes will place vulnerable species in immediate danger -- all to line the pockets of industry. We are counting on the courts to step in before it's too late.
"It is unsurprising that those who repeatedly seek to weaponize the Endangered Species Act -- instead of use it as a means to recover imperiled species -- would choose to sue. We will see them in court, and we will be steadfast in our implementation of this important act with the unchanging goal of conserving and recovering species," Interior Department spokesman Nick Goodwin said in a statement.
The Trump administration and Republicans say the changes in the rule will help remove species from the list when their population has recovered and make the rules more clear for developers and other groups that are impacted when land is protected to preserve habitat for threatened or endangered species.
