A federal judge in California has revoked changes to the Endangered Species Act that were made under the Trump administration, giving a win to environmental groups that filed a lawsuit over the move.

Due to the changes brought by the Trump administration in 2019, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was no longer able to provide the same protections for a species considered to be “threatened” as they did for a species that was “endangered,” critics said.
