What happened
Key tenets of the Endangered Species Act have been dismantled under President Donald Trump’s administration. This action allows for the inadvertent killing of imperiled species, including bald eagles and peregrine falcons that inhabit Acadia. The administration's new interpretation of the environmental law compounds concerns about climate change impacts on endangered species.

Why it matters
The dismantling of the act affects federal conservation efforts, as the Department of the Interior governs Acadia. The National Park Service, which formally manages Acadia National Park, faces changes to its operational mandate due to the regulatory shift.
A rule change allowing development on critical wildlife habitats was made on July 10th, involving Donald Trump and the Endangered Species Act.
