Defender, Extremists in the Senate are putting animals in danger – their new series of resolutions would gut vital wildlife protections and effectively reinstate damaging Trump-era rules. [We need to mobilize immediately to keep wildlife protected. Click here to send a message to your Senators opposing these harmful resolutions!]( The Biden administration took steps to restore some key protections of the Endangered Species Act, one of our most popular and effective laws for defending and recovering imperiled species. But opponents in Congress are launching a power grab to reverse that progress. Their new proposals would undo: - A rule that automatically extends some ESA protections for terrestrial and freshwater endangered species to threatened species, protecting them from further decline; - The removal of provisions that make it harder for agencies to designate unoccupied critical habitat, which is vital as species and landscapes shift with climate change; - And the removal of economic considerations from ESA listing decisions for species, ensuring that these decisions are driven by science. These actions and more are all necessary steps to defending our most vulnerable wildlife from a raging biodiversity crisis that threatens to wipe out countless animals in our lifetimes. We cannot allow anti-wildlife Senators to roll back these protections, taking scientific decisions out of the experts’ hands and dooming species to extinction. The vote is expected to happen soon – we must work quickly to put a stop to these attacks. Make sure your Senators hear from you today: Vote NO on five anti-wildlife resolutions!
