Group Sues Trump Administration On Delays To Give ESA Protections To Oregon’s Crater Lake Newt
The Center for Biological Diversity has sued the Trump administration for “delaying critically needed Endangered Species Act protections” for the Crater Lake newt. The newts live only in Oregon’s Crater Lake, and their population has crashed to as few as 13 animals in recent years because of the introduction of signal crayfish and warming lake temperatures from climate change, says the Center.
