Applaud Conservation Groups Protecting the Smallest Rabbits

Conservation advocates are standing up for wildlife and fragile ecosystems — and their work deserves applause.

Environmental groups have filed suit against the Trump administration after federal officials failed to act on legally required protections for the pygmy rabbit, the world’s smallest rabbit species.

These tiny rabbits depend on healthy sagebrush habitats that are increasingly threatened by drilling, wildfires, habitat destruction, invasive species, and climate change.

The lawsuit seeks to force the federal government to follow the law and make a long-overdue decision about whether the pygmy rabbit should receive Endangered Species Act protections before it’s too late.

Protecting wildlife also means protecting the ecosystems that countless other species and communities rely on.

This is about accountability, conservation, and preserving our natural world for future generations.
