A recent change to the Endangered Species Act has been finalized by the Trump administration. This change affects how agencies enforce the act and removes a protection for wildlife that was previously in place. The protection that was eliminated had been safeguarding imperiled wildlife from certain human activities.

Further details about this change can be found through news sources such as WSVN 7 News. The specifics of the new rule are not fully outlined here, but it is known that the definition of "harm" has been narrowed under the law, which may impact wildlife conservation efforts.
