Framing is sympathetic to tribal plaintiffs and critical of the Trump administration’s narrowed Endangered Species Act “harm” definition, portraying the change as a betrayal, an ecological setback, and an advantage for industry.
The 1973 Endangered Species Act prohibits taking listed species; its regulatory definition of “harm” had previously been interpreted to include habitat modification and degradation. The 2025 rule narrowed that definition, affecting when permits and tribal consultation are required.
