Conservationists sue Trump administration over rollback of green policies
Briefly

The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging efforts to enhance oil production by dismantling environmental regulations. This legal action stems from Trump’s executive order aimed at reducing regulations that hinder fuel producers. The suit targets four federal agencies for information about action plans that may negatively impact environmental protections. Amidst concerns regarding greenhouse gas reporting requirements, the Center argues that these policy changes threaten the environment and compromise ongoing conservation efforts, seeking transparency through the lawsuit following an unfulfilled Freedom of Information Act request.
The Center for Biological Diversity believes the executive order will harm the environment, undermining months of efforts to protect air, water, wildlife and public lands.
The lawsuit aims to uncover how the Trump administration's policies may weaken regulations and how that endangers conservation efforts already in place.
