"Biden Administration Reinstates Endangered Species Protections Revoked by Trump"

The Biden administration has reinstated rules to protect endangered plants and animals that were previously rolled back under the Trump administration. The changes include reinstating blanket protections for newly classified threatened species and not considering economic impacts when deciding if animals and plants need protection. While Republicans argue that the Endangered Species Act is outdated and hampers economic development, environmentalists see the restoration of these protections as a marginal win, although some changes made under Trump remain in place.
