WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 31, 2025) — U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis’ (R-Wyo.) proposal to rename one of the most important wildlife-conservation laws in U.S. history as “the Endangered Species Recovery Act” rightly focuses the public and policymakers on the idea at its center: recovering species.

“Renaming the Endangered Species Act as the Endangered Species Recovery Act is a thoughtful way to refocus national attention on what matters most: recovering imperiled wildlife. This bill emphasizes outcomes over process, reinforcing that the goal isn’t to manage decline, but to return species to healthy, sustainable populations that don’t require the Act’s protections,” said David Willms, associate vice president for public lands at the National Wildlife Federation. “It’s a commonsense update that aligns the name of the law with its original purpose.”

The National Wildlife Federation urged lawmakers to support this change by increasing funding to state, Tribes, and territories to ensure they can recover threatened and endangered wildlife as well as prevent other plant and animal species from requiring protection under the Endangered Species Recovery Act. This can be accomplished not only through existing state and Tribal wildlife grants, but also passing the bipartisan Recovering 皇冠体育app官网平台’s Wildlife Act.
