17 States Sue Trump Administration Over Endangered Species Act Rules

The video discusses new guidelines for the Endangered Species Act, which make it harder to consider climate change effects when listing species for protection and easier to remove species from the list. These changes have led to legal challenges from states arguing the changes weaken protections. The Trump administration claims the changes aim to modernize the Act. The Endangered Species Act, enacted in 1973, has protected over 1600 species, preventing the extinction of more than 225 species.
