Over the past few months, his administration has rolled out plans to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act, the lifesaving law that protects bears, sea turtles, birds and more than 1,000 species across the country.
His goal? Weaken the law so much that corporate polluters can bulldoze, mine, drill, log and destroy some of the last remaining habitat for endangered species on the planet.
It will mean more trophy hunting, trapping and lethal snaring of endangered species like grizzlies, wolves and lynx. What's more, Trump is gearing up to strip protections from nearly every wolf in the lower 48 states so they can be gunned down, trapped or killed in their dens.
The Center for Biological Diversity's kick-ass staff of lawyers, scientists, organizers and media experts are fighting back with everything we've got.
We've been battling right-wingers' attempts to destroy the Endangered Species Act for decades, but we've never seen anything like what Trump is trying to pull.
Think about what's at stake. Without the Endangered Species Act:
Livestock operators would have free rein to annihilate gray wolves.
Trophy hunters could gun down Yellowstone's grizzly bears for fun.
Polar bear and spotted owl habitat could be bulldozed, drilled and destroyed.
This is the fight of a lifetime for more than 1,000 animals and plants, from polar bears and ice seals to wolves and sage grouse.
Whenever wildlife are at risk, no one goes to court faster than the Center for Biological Diversity. We've protected more than 620 species and half a billion acres of habitat — more than any other conservation group.
You have a part to play too when it comes to protecting wildlife from Trump. This is no time to sit on the sidelines. Act. Resist. Sign the petition.
