The U.S. has finalized a major rollback of the Endangered Species Act.
One of America’s most successful conservation laws, credited with helping recover the bald eagle, gray wolf, and many other species, is being significantly weakened.
The new rule removes habitat destruction from the legal definition of “harm” to an endangered species. This could make it easier for logging, mining, and development to damage the habitats that threatened and endangered wildlife depend on.
Weakening these safeguards affects not only wildlife. It threatens ecosystems that provide clean water, carbon storage, flood protection, and biodiversity.
The ESA has been a cornerstone of U.S. conservation for more than 50 years. Rolling back habitat protections risks reversing decades of progress while nature is already under immense pressure.
You cannot protect endangered species if the habitats they depend on are no longer protected.

@Jani__Gee That isn't motherhood, it's insanity. As a mom, everyone else will eat leftovers while I devour a 12" sub. Why? Because I deserve it. Moms keeps the family going and she shouldn't be pouring from an empty cup.
Years ago, I read a tweet about negativity and realized that I was a negative person. Just flat out negative. I was a downer. Faultfinding. About everything little thing.
I cut that shit out that day! I hope this post does this for at least one of you! Bc ya’ll are negative!
@thisisnefertiti IMO they dropped the ball assuming everyone has a distinct undertone. I've always been a neutral undertone and even though they have an extensive range of shades, the majority of the undertones were all warm or cool.
I love how TSA rules are different at every airport and they look at you like you're a fucking idiot when you don't speak their regional dialect of security theater.
@jiggyjayy2 Going to her page pissed me off so bad. She is completely male-centered. Nothing is going on upstairs except delusions about that man. Sis, exit the convo bc women like that can never be saved or see logic and reason. Where are her friends?!
