Ticker – No species have been added to threatened or endangered during Trump’s Second Term

No species have been officially added to the threatened or endangered list during President Trump's second term, despite 30 species currently proposed for this status. This pause in listings has sparked concern among environmentalists who fear it could lead to increased extinction rates and neglect of critical conservation efforts. The absence of new listings contrasts sharply with previous administrations that have been more proactive in protecting vulnerable species, highlighting a shift in conservation policy priorities under Trump. This trend underscores the urgent need for stronger environmental protections to safeguard biodiversity.
