The Trump administration's recent executive orders have led to significant reductions in public access to climate, environmental, and public health data on government websites. Hundreds of terabytes of data have already been removed, sparking concerns about further deletions. In response, volunteers associated with the Public Environmental Data Partners project have mobilized to collect and preserve this critical information. They have already recovered over 100 data sets and aim to save more, reflecting a proactive stance on the part of citizens to counteract governmental data suppression efforts. This response marks a notable shift from previous attempts during Trump's first term in office.
Amid a series of executive orders, the Trump administration is reducing public access to key government data on climate and health, prompting volunteer efforts for data preservation.
Hundreds of volunteers, under the Public Environmental Data Partners initiative, are downloading and attempting to preserve critical government data previously accessible to the public.
