Clawing Back Public Protections of Our Land, Air, and Climate


The environmental organization Center for Biological Diversity has filed a lawsuit against several federal agencies over President Donald Trumpโ€™s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The suit is the first of its kind and is aimed at protecting government-funded environmental work including climate research and protecting public lands.ย 

Brett Hartl, coordinator of the Centerโ€™s work on federal legislative issues affecting endangered species, public lands, oceans, climate and energy, spoke with YES! Senior Editor Sonali Kolhatkar on YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali about the lawsuit and why it is necessary.
