Wildlife Feel the Heat from Summertime Policy Rollbacks

As social distancing puts a damper on summer vacation plans, the heat is on — and it’s America’s wildlife getting burned. Despite the pandemic, the administration continues to undermine environmental policy for industry gain. In the last six weeks, three changes stand out that could have sweeping, negative consequences for wildlife — and people — if finalized.

“National wildlife refuges aren’t game farms,” said Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife president and CEO. “This unwarranted policy reversal would set a dangerous precedent for the National Wildlife Refuge System and could threaten the sustainability of the isolated population of Kenai brown bears in Alaska.”

The move will prevent communities from having much say about what gets built in their neighborhoods, putting marginalized communities at increased risk. Communities of color are routinely targeted to host facilities — factories, major highways, landfills — that have negative environmental and human health impacts.
