Endangered Species Act: Only native species to receive federal protection.
This bill changes how endangered species are protected. It means that only animals and plants naturally found in the United States will receive special legal protection. Species not native to the U.S. will no longer be considered endangered or threatened, which could impact conservation efforts and ecosystem management.
Key points
The bill redefines endangered species to exclude nonnative species in the U.S.
Nonnative species, even if at risk, will no longer receive federal protection under this Act.
