The Donald Trump administration announced Thursday a new plan around the protection of endangered species. According to the administration, the newly proposed rules would simplify and improve how the Endangered Species Act is used. This is the latest in a long battle to change the Endangered Species Act.
The new rules would potentially limit the designation of critical habitats and end the same protections for threatened species as endangered species. In addition, when federal government actions could harm a species, inter-agency consultations would be streamlined, according to the Associated Press.
Jamie Rappaport Clark, president of Defenders of Wildlife and a former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Washington Post, "Unfortunately, the sweeping changes being proposed by the Trump administration include provisions that would undercut the effectiveness of the ESA and put species at risk of extinction. The signal being sent by the Trump administration is clear: protecting America’s wildlife and wild lands is simply not on their agenda." On the other hand, Republican lawmakers claim the Endangered Species Act isn’t successful in restoring species and only limits economic activities.
In a study published today, scientists studied if Americans still support this supposedly controversial act. The research was led by Jeremy Bruskotter, an associate professor of environment and natural resources at Ohio State University. Bruskotter and his team found that only one in 10 Americans oppose the act, after a survey of 1,287 people. They also determined that around four out of five Americans support the Endangered Species Act. The scientists found that 74 percent of conservatives support the Endangered Species Act, despite the Republican lawmakers’ efforts to change it.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services released a statement in support of the proposed revisions. "The Trump administration is dedicated to being a good neighbor and being a better partner with the communities in which we operate. One thing we heard over and over again was that ESA implementation was not consistent and often times very confusing to navigate," Greg Sheehan, Deputy Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said. "We are proposing these improvements to produce the best conservation results for the species while reducing the regulatory burden on the American people."
According to Paragraph 4, the majority of American people______.
选项
A、are sympathetic with the new plan
B、care little about the wildlife of America
C、wish to overturn the provisions of ESA
