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

Representative Bruce Westerman introduced H.R. 1897, titled the ESA Amendments Act, in the House of Representatives. Action Network warns H.R. 1897 would gut longstanding Endangered Species Act protections by reducing safeguards for threatened species. The bill would narrow which land can be designated as critical habitat, shrinking the areas eligible for conservation and increasing development risk for listed species. Action Network is urging constituents to call Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell representatives to oppose H.R. 1897.
