Trump admin to end protections for endangered species after UN report finds earth in midst of 'mass extinction' event

A United Nations report released this week found that one-eighth of the world’s animals and plants are at risk of extinction and that biodiversity was declining at an “unprecedented pace,” but David Bernhardt, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, said this dire portrait won’t stop the Trump administration from ending protections for endangered species in the United States.

The report, written by 145 researchers from 50 countries over the last three years, warned that the planet was already in the midst of a “mass extinction event” with more than 1 million species eradicated because of human actions. Climate change, a lack of environmental stewardship and mass industrialization have all contributed to the loss, said the report.

In July, the president proposed ending protections for species that are designated as “threatened” and not endangered. His administration also floated making it easier to remove species from the endangered list, and for the economic impact of protecting species to be considered before adding them to the list.

Environmental advocates say the White House is moving in the wrong direction, and some groups are prepared to challenge the regulatory rollback in court, if needed.

See, it is another Putin-planned sabotage. Don't miss the big picture.

The unfortunate timing of this mass extinction event is the correlation with an administration with a grab what you can when you can policy. Somethings gotta give and in this case it's the earth itself.

Trump mightily resents the idea of the world going on without him.

Pro life?

Cut more regulations maybe we won’t have any thing to regulate

Trump campaign rebukes ‘dishonest fundraising groups,’ in veiled swipe at former top aide David BossieThe statement follows accusations that Bossie’s group, Presidential Coalition, has misled donors about how it is using their money. Translation: “only we can scam GOP donors” Will he tell his donors that he uses a whole bunch of their funds at his OWN properties? For his OWN legal fees? Because realDonaldTrump is a dishonest fundraiser. Big time. Did he use a secret server and accept a debate question ahead of time in a dishonest attempt to defeat opponents?
