Demand Trump Fund Programs Protecting Endangered Wildlife

Endangered species and the places they call home are paying the price for President Trump and DOGE’s senseless cuts. If the Trump Administration fails to reverse these reckless cuts, Congress must pass emergency legislation requiring them to immediately restore federal funding for critical wildlife conservation programs. President Trump’s so-called “government reform” efforts have left endangered species programs in limbo and put decades of environmental progress at risk. Across the world and here in the US, vital conservation initiatives are grinding to a halt. Sea turtles in Central America and elephants in Africa are just two examples of species being jeopardized by the Trump Administration’s abandonment of conservation programs. In Michigan, the piping plover—a federally endangered shorebird—is now left without federal Endangered Species Act support. The state is being forced to carry the full cost of monitoring efforts after Trump and DOGE abruptly pulled funding. This is not an isolated case. Endangered and threatened species and ecosystems around the world are now left unprotected due to the Trump Administration’s abandonment of habitat restoration, monitoring, and enforcement activities. This freeze in funding is not a budgetary necessity—it is a shortsighted political maneuver that threatens wildlife, undermines global public trust, and places the burden on states, nonprofits, and volunteers to fill the gap. Contracts have been frozen, organizations have received stop-work orders, and even programs with bipartisan support among hunters, anglers, and rural communities are being abandoned at the directive of Trump and DOGE. The Trump Administration’s push to “streamline” the federal government is coming at the expense of science-based conservation, environmental stewardship, and legal mandates under the Endangered Species Act. These actions not only jeopardize irreplaceable wildlife but also ignore the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support the Endangered Species Act and its work to protect our natural heritage. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to act if the Trump Administration continues to refuse to fund and carry out these critical programs. Sign the petition to urge the Trump Administration to resume operations and funding for life-saving wildlife conservation work, and for Congress to hold the Administration accountable for its reckless disregard of this highly successful and proven Endangered Species Act.
