Project 2025, a sweeping 900+ page blueprint, proposes a radical restructuring of the federal government, aiming to dismantle longstanding environmental protections and the federal agencies responsible for safeguarding wildlife, natural habitats, and the shared resources of air, land, and water. The comprehensive plan threatens to undo decades of conservation work, endangering the environment and the biodiversity that depends on it.

Key elements of Project 2025 include extreme measures that would:

• Weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA): Project 2025 outlines plans to rewrite the ESA, severely diminishing the nation’s most critical tool for wildlife protection.

• Remove ESA Protections for Wolves and Grizzlies: This proposal specifically targets the removal of protections for iconic species like wolves and grizzly bears, leaving them vulnerable to extinction.

• Eliminate National Monuments: The plan would direct the President to downsize existing national monuments and repeal the Antiquities Act, stripping the executive branch of the authority to safeguard national treasures.

• Undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): Project 2025 suggests imposing arbitrary deadlines and page length limits on environmental analyses, favoring big polluters at the expense of thorough environmental review.

• Limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Power: By curbing the EPA’s ability to combat pollution and respond to climate change, Project 2025 would hinder critical efforts to protect public health and the environment from the escalating impacts of climate change.

Project 2025 represents a direct assault on the laws and systems that have positioned the U.S. as a global leader in wildlife conservation. The Endangered Species Act, which has helped prevent the extinction of species such as the gray wolf, sea otter, and blue whale, is one of the plan's main targets. The plan also jeopardizes progress in the fight against climate change, threatening increased wildfires, hurricanes, and deadly heatwaves.

The public is urged to take action now to tell Congress to reject this dangerous plan. Project 2025 would dismantle critical protections, placing wildlife, wild places, and the climate at unprecedented risk.
