President Donald Trump's administration is facing lawsuits from U.S. states over changes to the federal Endangered Species Act. The states filed two lawsuits on Wednesday, claiming the administration illegally weakened the landmark law.

The Endangered Species Act has protected wildlife such as the bald eagle from development-related dangers.

Further details on the lawsuits and the changes to the law are available from the source, which reported on the legal action taken by the states against the Trump administration.
