On July 11, 2026, the Trump administration finalized a rule that changes the enforcement of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the United States. The key modification involves narrowing the definition of "harm" under the landmark law, which governs protections for imperiled wildlife. This change affects how federal agencies implement the ESA's provisions.
According to NPR News, the administration's adjustment to the ESA's enforcement represents a significant shift in regulatory approach, potentially impacting conservation efforts.
