The Biden administration and the Fish And Wildlife Service are working to tighten Endangered Species Act regulations and remove the loosened rules put in by the Trump Administration. One of those regulations that the former President loosened was with critical habitat. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane says the Biden administration is now rolling back the loosening of that rule along with others.

He says the one positive step the President and his agencies have taken with the ESA is the delisting of the gray wolf

Lane says besides the Endangered Species Act, there are other regulations NCBA is concerned with including the rewrite of the Clean Water Act with WOTUS and reviewing the National Environmental Policy Act and getting rid of that.

Lane says because NCBA and U.S. agriculture is constantly battling extreme environmental activist groups on these regulations and because they have deep pockets that makes it more important than ever that producers let their voice be heard and testify and weigh in with elected officials on these.
