Per commentary from Center for American Progress, President-elect Trump faces pressure from corporate lobbyists to prioritize special interests at the expense of public lands. The proposed actions threaten the environmental protections that Trump previously disavowed during his campaign.
The issue:
The Trump administration's management of America's public lands is under scrutiny, as corporate lobbyists propose drastic changes that could benefit private interests. This raises concerns about the long-term impact on healthy ecosystems, local communities, and natural resources.
What they recommend:
No specific recommendations for action on this issue were provided in the report.
Go deeper:
Many of the proposals align with Project 2025, which seeks to overturn critical environmental regulations and increase corporate access to public lands. Historically, public lands have been a vital resource for conservation and recreation, making the potential shift towards privatization a significant concern. The consequences of these actions could set a precedent that undermines environmental protections and public access for generations.
