Stop Trump's Assault on the Endangered Species Act SIGN THE PETITION » Trump has gutted the Endangered Species Act — and the Center for Biological Diversity's kick-ass team of lawyers, scientists and organizers are fighting back with everything we've got. But we need your voice right now too. The Act is the single-most important lifeline for more than 1,700 species from coast to coast — and Trump is shredding it in the name of corporate profits. These new regulations are a sick, cruel gift to industry that will make it easier to bulldoze, mine, drill, log and destroy some of the last remaining habitat for polar bears, monarch butterflies, whooping cranes and so many others. Tell Congress to stand up to Trump's gutting of the Endangered Species Act and defend this bedrock environmental law. Here’s a glimpse of what Trump’s new policies will do: "Threatened" wildlife will no longer receive any level of protection; Developers will be allowed to bulldoze, mine, drill and log in crucial habitat; Wildlife awaiting help could face even longer life-threatening delays. This is personal for us. The Center has been battling right-wingers' attempts to destroy the Endangered Species Act for decades and we've never seen anything like what Trump just pulled. Act now to stop this violent assault on America's most vulnerable creatures. Whenever wildlife are at risk, no one goes to court faster than the Center for Biological Diversity. We've filed more than 150 lawsuits — about one per week — against Trump and his lackeys to protect the wild. You have a part to play too when it comes to protecting wildlife from Trump. This is no time to sit on the sidelines. Across the globe, 1 million species are at risk of going extinct. There’s still hope, but we need the Endangered Species Act to win. Act. Resist. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to fight Trump's nightmare attack on America's endangered species. This is a do-or-die moment for saving the Endangered Species Act.  CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY.
