Trump Quietly Stalls Safeguards for Dozens of Endangered Species

摘要

The Trump administration has quietly withdrawn dozens of pending actions to protect endangered species ranging from the green sea turtle to plants in the Florida Everglades, something conservationists say may violate federal law requiring the government to act. The pending rules were mostly withdrawn in March and April. But environmental groups and others didn't know about the action because the administration only noted it in passing in a broader posting from the White House on the status of regulations.
