'Major victory': Court tosses out Trump Interior's gutting of century-old protections for migratory
August 12, 2020

Critics charge that the administration’s policy on the Migratory Bird Treaty Act “was nothing more than a cruel, bird-killing gift to polluters.”
Conservation advocates and critics of the Trump administration’s subservience to corporate polluters celebrated a federal court’s Tuesday decision throwing out a December 2017 Interior Department opinion that effectively gutted nationwide protections for migratory birds by letting industry off the hook for “incidental” killings.
“This decision represents the next vital step on the path to restoring our nation’s declining bird populations and is a major victory for birds and the environment.”
—Mike Parr, American Bird Conservancy
“Like the clear crisp notes of the wood thrush, today’s court decision cuts through all the noise and confusion to unequivocally uphold the most effective bird conservation law on the books,” Sarah Greenberger, interim chief conservation officer for the National Audubon Society, said in a statement.
