Environmental groups sue government to stop a big change to the Endangered Species Act

Environmental advocates have taken legal action against the Trump administration's attempt to redefine "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, arguing it would weaken protections for threatened wildlife. This move could significantly alter how species are safeguarded, potentially allowing more human activities to proceed without stringent environmental reviews. The lawsuit highlights a broader tension between development interests and conservation efforts, underscoring the ongoing debate over balancing economic growth with ecological preservation.
