WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 17, 2025) — could render one of the most successful environmental laws, the Endangered Species Act, ineffective at conserving the habitat needed to recover declining wildlife.
 
“This proposal ignores the essential fact — known to hunters, anglers, biologists, and even casual observers — that wildlife cannot exist without habitat and vice versa. The loss of habitat is the number one reason species decline,” said Mike Leahy, the National Wildlife Federation’s senior director of wildlife, hunting and fishing policy. “It is disconcerting that the clear outcome of this proposal will be the irreversible destruction of habitat for our most troubled wildlife, and that it comes at a time when the agencies responsible for recovering these species are seeing their budgets dramatically cut and dedicated professional staff fired.”
