Environmental organizations gear up to challenge the incoming Trump administration


Environmental organizations are preparing to push back against the incoming Trump administration, which is expected to focus on expanding oil and gas drilling, reducing federal land preservation, and repealing or scaling back Biden-era legislation. Environmental groups are gearing up for legal battles and soliciting donations to fund their efforts.

Trump’s previous administration took actions weakening environmental policies, and experts predict a similar or even more aggressive approach in his upcoming term. Cabinet picks and statements made by Trump indicate a strong emphasis on drilling and deregulation, alarming environmentalists.

Environmental groups like the Center for Biological Diversity and the NRDC are gearing up for legal battles, having previously challenged Trump’s agenda in court and won significant lawsuits. They anticipate fights over federal land protection and climate policies, particularly those related to clean energy.

Conservation groups expect a renewed fight over protected federal land, including Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, which were targets of Trump’s actions. They are preparing legal strategies to respond swiftly to attempts to dismantle these monuments.

Despite the challenges ahead, some environmental policies such as clean energy investments and clean water protection may face bipartisan support, making them harder for the new administration to dismantle. However, environmentalists remain vigilant and prepared to defend against potential threats to environmental protections and climate policies under the incoming Trump administration.
