President Trump claimed in a July 8, 2019 speech that his administration is “being good stewards of our public land,” reducing carbon emissions, and promoting the “cleanest air” and “crystal clean” water. These claims are simply false. Instead, President Trump has made rolling back critical environmental protections a focus of his presidency. By asserting “energy dominance” on America’s public lands, appointing former extractive industry and anti-public lands leaders to head key environmental agencies, and refusing to adequately fund our public lands, this Administration has made it clear that oil, gas, coal, and mining take precedence over outdoor recreation, wildlife conservation, clean air, and clean water.

Each state, while similarly impacted, has its own story. Below are the state specific impacts showing how Trump administration’s harmful policies are impacting conservation.
