6. RESTORE THE ROLE OF BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE TO FEDERAL DECISION-MAKING

During the Trump Administration, a series of administrative decisions have been made that directly countermand the thoughtful decisions of on-the-ground managers and the best available science. Examples of administrative actions that can be rolled back include:

  • Reapply the roadless rule to protect the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

  • Reinstate the protection of small streams under the Clean Water Act.

  • Restore regulation of incidental taking and killing of migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
