Democratic Conservation Alliance - This month has been full of bad news for people who care about our planet and our natural heritage:

➡️ Trump's "God Squad" overrode the Endangered Species Act, eradicating lifesaving protections for a rare whale species that is now at dire risk of going extinct.

➡️ Emperor penguins were declared endangered, with scientists warning that the species is at risk entirely because governments like ours have failed to take action to save our planet from carbon emissions.

➡️ And Trump gutted the Forest Service, leaving hundreds of millions of acres of public lands without protection right before wildfire season and defunding critical research for conservation efforts country-wide.
