US federal court restores wildlife checks on coal mining. The US District Court for D.C. just struck down a 2020 permitting shortcut that allowed coal mines to avoid a full Endangered Species Act review. The ruling vacates a nationwide loophole used by mines in multiple states, meaning regulators must now analyse actual harms to protected plants and animals and require mitigation where needed.

Court Ruling Protects Endangered Wildlife Nationwide From Dangers of Coal Mining

Center for Biological Diversity: CHARLESTON, W.Va.— A federal court ruled today that the federal government’s attempts to undercut Endangered Species Act protections for the sake of coal mining were illegal. Coal mines will now be required to follow the law and ensure their activities don’t harm protected plants and animals.

El río Wye, en Gran Bretaña, obtiene derechos legales en una medida histórica. Ayuntamientos y organismos de áreas protegidas de Inglaterra y Gales han respaldado una carta que reconoce la totalidad de la cuenca del río Wye, de 209 kilómetros, como un ecosistema vivo con derecho a fluir, regenerarse, apoyar la biodiversidad y estar representados en la toma de decisiones. El río, contaminado, se encuentra en mal estado, pero la carta proporciona a los activistas una nueva herramienta de gobernanza tras años de presión. Oceanographic

Britain’s River Wye granted legal rights in landmark move. Councils and protected-area bodies across England and Wales have endorsed a charter recognising the River Wye’s entire 209-kilometre catchment as a living ecosystem with rights to flow, regenerate, support biodiversity and be represented in decision-making. The polluted river is in poor condition, but the charter gives campaigners a new governance tool after years of pressure.
