Over one-third of plant and animal species in the US are at risk of disappearing. But instead of supporting their recovery, the Trump administration is dismantling the vital Endangered Species Act protections these species need to survive. ​ Earthjustice is fighting back in court.

The Trump admin finalized rules that eliminate protections for threatened wildlife and prioritize economic interests over science, giving industry greater influence over whether critical habitat is protected or destroyed. Earthjustice will not let this go unchallenged.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is illegally changing the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by reversing a 50-year understanding that the law protects wildlife from habitat destruction.​

Habitat loss is the #1 reason species go extinct. But the Trump admin has finalized a rule under the Endangered Species Act that would allow the widespread destruction of endangered species' habitats. Earthjustice has protected endangered species for decades. We’ll see the Trump admin in court.

Sen. Mike Lee’s attempt to abuse the Congressional Review Act to fast-track his attack on Grand Staircase-Escalante failed. ​ Now, Sen. Lee needs 60 votes to bring chaos to management of this irreplaceable monument. ​ No one except extractive industry CEOs wants these special places destroyed.

Tomorrow, the Trump admin will announce the results of an oil and gas lease sale in the Arctic Refuge. We’re fighting back in court.​ This is another effort to sell out our public lands to boost corporate profits, while Indigenous communities, wildlife, and future generations carry the risk.​

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most beautiful and fragile landscapes in the nation. The Trump administration is trying to lease these irreplaceable public lands for oil and gas drilling to benefit corporate polluters.​ Earthjustice is fighting in court to #ProtectTheArctic

Data centers are expanding rapidly, and communities are paying the price. This expansion could bring more pollution, higher electricity rates, and setbacks to clean energy and climate goals. Earthjustice is fighting to hold the industry accountable and protect communities.

The real way to “Make America Healthy Again” is to protect our drinking water from toxic forever chemicals like PFAS — not roll back protections to increase corporate profits. ​

Earthjustice supported litigation that has halted construction on a Maryland industrial warehouse that ICE plans to convert into a detention center while the case moves through court.

We gathered with @heinrich.senate.gov, @repgabevasquez.bsky.social, Rep. Salinas, @repstansbury.bsky.social, @rephuffman.bsky.social, and @mcclellan.house.gov to call for the preservation of the Roadless Rule, which protects our national forests from logging and other industrial development.

The Arctic's permafrost stores vast amounts of carbon. Disturbing it to extract oil and gas, combined with more burning of fossil fuels, releases greenhouse gases and accelerates global warming, harming wildlife and people. Drilling in the Arctic isn’t worth the risk.

You're not imagining it. Electricity prices are surging. ​ The Trump administration is doubling down on expensive fossil fuels and using AI data centers to justify keeping coal plants running and building new methane gas plants.

For more than 50 years, Earthjustice has delivered landmark victories for clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet — and it’s all possible because of you. #EarthDay

BREAKING: We're suing Elon Musk’s company, xAI, for building an illegal power plant in Mississippi to fuel its data center – with no air permits and little protection for the people living around it.

xAI built an illegal power plant in Southaven, MS to power its AI data center— with no air permits, lax oversight, and little regard for nearby families. The illegal power plant is only half a mile from family homes, causing serious health concerns for residents. Earthjustice will fight this.

VICTORY! Remember when President Trump declared himself a king and decreed that congestion pricing was dead? Today, a federal court ruled that the Trump admin unlawfully attempted to end NYC’s successful Congestion Pricing program. We won!

Today, the EPA abandoned its responsibility to protect Americans from deadly air pollution by finalizing a repeal of the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), a key rule that limited how much mercury and other toxic pollution coal- and oil-fired power plants can release into the air.

​The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its repeal of the endangerment finding and the rollback of climate emissions standards for light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles. By doing so, the EPA is rejecting settled law and science to benefit polluters.

In doing so, they ignored the voices of the American people and prioritized the profits of a foreign mining company seeking to open a mine at the doorstep of one of our nation's most-visited wilderness areas.

On January 21, using the Congressional Review Act in an unprecedented way that bypasses the normal democratic process, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to overturn a 20‑year mining ban that protects the Boundary Waters from permanent and irreparable mining pollution.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota is a vast network of more than 1,000 lakes and unspoiled forests. It is one of our nation’s most treasured landscapes and is now under threat by the mining industry’s allies in Congress.

Earthjustice is fighting to expand energy efficiency, level the playing field for solar power, and prevent disruption from data centers – all while working to shut down the expansion of coal and gas plants. And we’re making real progress in the states.

When the Trump administration illegally froze funding in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, Earthjustice and our partners fought back in court. Last week, we won.

Congestion Pricing in New York City is a huge success. Today, we’re in court defending this innovative policy.
