Reid Frazier, The Allegheny Front

The Trump administration has proposed big changes to federal protections for threatened and endangered species, habitat, and waterways. The administration says they are needed to keep up with recent Supreme Court Rulings.
But conservationists and environmentalists are worried that these changes could remove millions of acres of wetlands from federal protection and push plant and animal species toward extinction.
The Allegheny Front’s Reid Frazier sat down with Kara Holsopple to walk through what some of the changes would mean.
