Environmentalists denounced the Trump administration for crashing a 'bulldozer' through the Endangered Species Act on Monday after the Interior Department finalized a series of rollbacks to the 46-year-old law that will further imperil hundreds of vulnerable animal and plant species while paving the way for business development projects.

The Washington Post summarized the Trump administration's sweeping changes to the widely popular law: Potential threats to business opportunities and other costs of listing a species must now be considered and shared with the public... The administration will also shrink the number of habitats set aside for threatened wildlife. Currently, land that plants and animals occupy is set aside for their protection, in addition to areas that they once occupied but abandoned.
