Sep 4, 2020· Comment from Natural Resources Defense Council· FWS-HQ-ES-2020-0047-47394

Dear U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Please kindly accept these 37,595 public comments from online members and activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council in response to proposal Docket: FWS-HQ-ES-2020-0047, opposing your proposed plans to further weaken the Endangered Species Act by making it harder to protect habitat for wildlife. Your proposal would make it much more difficult to protect habitats that have been historically used by a species as well as habitats that could be important as species move in response to climate change. And it would make it easier for the drilling, mining, and logging industries to destroy fragile wildlife habitats and drive our most threatened species to the brink of extinction. The ESA is a bedrock law that has saved 99 percent of listed plants and animals from extinction, including iconic species like the bald eagle and gray wolf. If endangered species are going to recover, we must protect and restore the places they used to live, pay attention to the climate science, and do more to strengthen, not weaken, our nation's best tool for helping to prevent extinction. That's why we vehemently OPPOSE this proposal and urge you to withdraw this reckless plan to further eviscerate the Endangered Species Act's protections. Thank you for your consideration.
