Ranking Member Huffman Statement on Trump's Move to Decimate Habitats, Kill Off Treasured Species

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) issued the following statement on the Trump administration's changes to the Endangered Species Act that will allow special interests to destroy imperiled species' habitats:
"Trump is doing everything in his power to let his billionaire, big industry buddies ravage and obliterate our country to turn a quick buck. This move would let special interests destroy an endangered animal's home, its food, its clean water - the basic things it needs to survive and recover - with zero repercussions or accountability. He's pushing species to the brink of extinction and hurting the surrounding communities that depend on thriving ecosystems for their businesses, healthy air and water, and way of life.

"This is corrupt, illegal, and completely untethered from scientific reality."
