I'm not American myself, but this is terrifying news to me. Everyone knows how influential the US are. If this becomes a worldwide trend, our future itself becomes a big if (all our resources depend on ecological balance, after all, and one extinction could cause all sorts of ripple effects that biologists could explain much better than I ever could). Sometimes I really do think we live in the worst timeline. If people in power feel entitled to redefine the concept of harm for other species, nothing will stop them from doing the same to our species, too. I'd argue they're already doing that, but that'd be off-topic...
It’s certainly discouraging. It’s always interesting talking to park rangers overseas and learning what a model the U.S. national park system and some of our public lands have been. To be dismantling that model isn’t just bad for us, it’s as you said, bad for everyone. Just have to hope for a reversion here soon.
I believe in the power of people coming together. So long as there's people like you, who are willing to share news such as these, these facts will certainly reach others who are just as inclined to echo these concerns until they're taken seriously. Eventually, it'll be enough to change this situation for the better. I hope for a reversion just as much as you do. From humans, to animals, plants, etc, every life deserves to live and thrive in a healthy, balanced environment.
