In its second term, the Trump administration has increased its
efforts to undo environmental regulations. Last week, it became
clear that the Endangered Species Act, one of America’s bedrock
environmental laws, would be losing some of its most important
protections.

Catrin Einhorn, who covers biodiversity, explains what is
changing and what impact that could have on the country’s most
vulnerable animals and ecosystems.

Guest: Catrin Einhorn, a reporter covering
biodiversity, climate and the environment for The New York Times.
