Earthjustice

Earthjustice is a non-profit environmental law organization that represents various environmental and health groups in legal challenges. They are currently newsworthy due to their active opposition to recent environmental policy changes, particularly those enacted by the Trump administration and actions impacting endangered species. Recent articles highlight Earthjustice's involvement in lawsuits against the EPA's rollback of climate regulations, specifically the endangerment finding that allows the regulation of planet-heating gases. They are also likely involved in challenging the federal government's decision to exempt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from Endangered Species Act rules. Earthjustice's actions are significant because they represent a major legal front in the fight against environmental deregulation and the protection of endangered species and public health.
