Campaigners urge Congress to reject Westerman’s Endangered Species Act changes

natureApr 8, 202616

Campaigners are urging Congress to reject Representative Bruce Westerman's ESA Amendments Act, H.R. 1897. Advocates say the bill would roll back core Endangered Species Act protections and allow industrial projects in critical habitat. They point to federal moves to strip protections for gray wolves in Colorado as evidence of harm. If passed, the measure would speed industry access to habitats and weaken conservation enforcement nationwide.
