NEW: States sue to block Trump's Endangered Species Act rollback
A coalition of 17 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Wednesday to block its recent rollback of the Endangered Species Act.
“As we face the unprecedented threat of a climate emergency, now is the time to strengthen our planet’s biodiversity, not to destroy it,” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “The only thing we want to see extinct are the beastly policies of the Trump Administration putting our ecosystems in critical danger. We’re coming out swinging to defend this consequential law — humankind and the species with whom we share this planet depend on it.
Notably, the sweeping changes came on the heels of a United Nations report that found humans have driven up to 1 million species around the globe toward extinction.
