The announcement comes as the #Trump admin has aggressively pursued opening #PublicLands to the #energy industry. This includes shrinking #NationalMonuments in #Utah, which would allow for #oil & #gas development, & reportedly pursuing the same in #Alaska, all while rolling back rules around bond requirements, public comments & procedural timelines around those lease sales.

Although some bureaucratic hurdles remain, a lease sale brings #fracking to the #forest for the first time – the subject of political effort since at least 2016 [since #Trump’s first term] – far closer to fruition, giving specific #corporations legal rights to the #land & #minerals beneath it.

#SCOTUS upheld this interpretation in 1995, ruling against property owners who argued that #harm should only mean directly killing or injuring an #endangered #animal.
But on Friday, the #Trump #Interior Dept & the #Commerce Dept announced a final rule that rescinded this longstanding interpretation. Under the rule, destroying an #EndangeredSpecies’ nest or #habitat would no longer be considered illegal.

For more than 50 years, the federal government has used a broader definition of #harm to #animals under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct, a bedrock #EnvironmentalLaw. It included any significant “modification or degradation” of habitat that kills or injures animals by impairing their ability to eat, shelter or breed.

Environment: Indonesia’s “War on Waste” at Bantargebang Landfill, from Earthbuddies and Mongabay
Rescue workers remove victims of the landslide of a mountain of rubbish found at the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST), Bekasi, West Java, Monday March 9, 2026. Photo: ANTARA FOTO/Darryl RamadhanIndonesia is now facing a very serious waste problem. In March 2026, a terrible accident happened at the Bantargebang landfill near Jakarta. Seven sanitation workers died after a huge pile of garbage collapsed on them.
The question is, have you ever wondered such kind of thing to ever happen in this civilized world? Let’s talk about it. Six other people were injured. Bantargebang is not a small landfill. It is the biggest landfill in Indonesia and one of the largest in Southeast Asia. The area is as large as 200 football fields, and some mountains of trash are more than 50 meters high.
After the disaster, many people started asking difficult questions. Why were workers still working in such dangerous conditions? Why had the landfill become so overloaded?
Indonesian authorities then started criminal investigations against two former environmental officials connected to waste management problems in Jakarta and Bali.
The tragedy became an important moment for Indonesia. It showed that the country’s waste crisis is no longer only about dirty streets or bad smells.
It is now also about public safety, human lives, and environmental damage. President Prabowo Subianto later declared a national “war on waste” and promised major changes across the country.
The post “Indonesia’s ‘War on Waste’ at the Bantargebang” appeared earlier on Earth Buddies. Read the whole piece at Indonesia’s “War on Waste” at the Bantargebang. The story was first published here and here in Indonesian on April 14 and 24, 2026.Related:
