Wolverines Threatened With Extinction Receive Federal Protection

Wolverines Threatened With Extinction , Receive Federal Protection.

On November 29, the Biden administration released a proposal to give the North American wolverine long-delayed federal protections.

ABC News reports that the proposal comes following warnings by scientists that climate change is likely to destroy the rare species' snowy mountain habitat.

By the early 1900s, wolverines had been mostly wiped out across the U.S. as a result of unregulated hunting and poisoning campaigns.

An estimated 300 surviving wolverines continue to live in the contiguous U.S. in isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.

Increasing temperatures are expected to reduce the mountain snowpack, which wolverines rely on to birth and raise their cubs.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to protect wolverines comes after over two decades of debate regarding threats to the species' long-term survival.

According to officials, the new protections are , “due primarily to the ongoing and increasing impacts of climate change and associated habitat degradation and fragmentation.”.

ABC reports that wolverines, which resemble small bears, are the world's largest species of terrestrial weasels.

A 2020 lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service claimed that wolverines face extinction due to a combination of climate change, habitat loss and low genetic diversity.

.

Scientists have suggested that some of the species' losses could be offset if wolverines are allowed to recolonize in areas like California's Sierra Nevada

Kamala Harris STRIPPED of Security: Trump CANCELS Extra Secret Service Protection | Memo Leaked

In a stunning move, President Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’ extended Secret Service protection, stripping away security granted by President Biden after her vice presidency. Harris, the first woman and person of color to serve as Vice President, was set to receive an extra year of coverage due to heightened threats. Effective September 1, her protective agents, property surveillance, and federal threat intelligence will end—just weeks before her national book tour. The decision has sparked backlash from California leaders, raising concerns over safety and mounting private security costs. #Trump #KamalaHarris #SecretService #BreakingNews #PoliticalDrama #USPolitics #SecurityDetail #TrumpDecision #Biden #HarrisBookTour #WhiteHouse #GavinNewsom #KarenBass #VicePresident #NationalSecurity #PoliticalNews #TrumpVsHarris #SecurityRevoked #USLaw #ExecutiveOrder #PoliticalControversy #AmericaFirst #BookTourSecurity #WashingtonDC #HarrisMemoir #FederalProtection #HarrisNews #CaliforniaPolitics #CapitolHill #LeadershipCrisis Also Read Trump Assures That US Troops Will Not Be Deployed to Defend Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assures-us-troops-wont-defend-ukraine-011-7834921.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Hot Mic Moment Reveals Insights into Global Political Discourse :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-hot-mic-moment-global-political-spectacles-011-7834867.html?ref=DMDesc India is the Fastest Growing Economy, Naidu Responds to Trump's Claims of a Dead Economy :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-fastest-growing-economy-naidu-response-trump-011-7827075.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.346~

‘Americans Needed To See…’ Vance Drops Bombshell On Zelensky’s White House ‘Blow-up’Amid Ukraine War

US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended his fiery Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, calling the February confrontation “useful” for Americans to witness. The heated exchange erupted during Zelensky’s Washington visit to secure a deal over Ukraine’s mineral resources. When Donald Trump explained his decision to stay neutral and pursue diplomacy with Moscow instead of ramping up military aid, Zelensky accused him of speaking from the safety of “a nice ocean.” Vance shot back, calling the remark “disrespectful,” and Trump told Zelensky not to lecture Americans. Vance later argued that years of unchecked aid under Joe Biden lacked strategy and failed to advance peace. He said the episode exposed Washington’s frustrations and underlined Trump’s push for a settlement with Moscow. The clash has become a flashpoint in US-Ukraine relations, showing cracks in support for Kyiv as Trump courts a diplomatic end to the war. #Zelensky #Vance #Trump #WhiteHouse #UkraineWar #OvalOffice #Kyiv #Moscow #Biden #Diplomacy #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #PoliticalDrama #Washington #USPolitics #RussiaUkraine #Sanctions #Geopolitics #WarCrisis #BreakingNews

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise [Video]

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy. #Trump #DonaldTrump #PresidentLee #SouthKorea #NorthKorea #Biden #NuclearWeapons #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsBiden #USPolitics #KoreanPeninsula #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #NorthKoreaThreat #GlobalSecurity #Diplomacy #TrumpLeeMeeting #Trump2025 #BidenFailure #TrumpHeadlines ~ED.420~HT.408~

Sirens BLAZE As 7.3-Magnitude Quake Strikes Alaska, MAJOR Tsunami Warning Issued | U.S News [Video]

Sirens BLAZE As 7.3-Magnitude Quake Strikes Alaska, MAJOR Tsunami Warning Issued | U.S News

A powerful 7.3‑magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska’s coast Wednesday, prompting an immediate tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. The USGS reported its epicenter was roughly 54 miles south of Sand Point at a shallow 20 km depth — conditions that raise tsunami fears. The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed a tsunami has occurred, cautioning coastal communities from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass. Though only these regions are at risk, residents are urged to evacuate low-lying areas and stay alert for updates. Alaska, part of the seismic Pacific Ring of Fire, previously endured a deadly 9.2 quake in 1964—the strongest in North America, which unleashed a devastating tsunami. While a 7.2 quake in July 2023 passed without major incident, the current event has revived emergency vigilance. Authorities are working to assess impacts and ensure community safety as aftershocks and swelling waves remain a concern.

‘Trump Is A R*Pist’ AOC Vs Trump EXPLODES As AOC Calls Trump A ‘R*pist’ In Epstein Post

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited a firestorm by calling Donald Trump a “Rapist” in a social media post referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, made on X, accused Trump of obstructing the release of Epstein-related files during his presidency. The post went viral, drawing immediate outrage from Trump’s supporters, with many labeling the comment defamatory. Conservative voices, including Laura Loomer, invoked precedent from a recent $15 million defamation settlement involving ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Critics argue Trump has never been criminally convicted of Rape, and AOC’s post could open the door to legal action. The controversy is unfolding alongside renewed scrutiny of the Epstein case, where the DOJ recently denied the existence of a “client list” and reaffirmed Epstein’s death as suicide. AOC has not yet responded to the backlash. #aoc #donaldtrump #trumpnews #maga #jeffreyepstein #epsteinfiles #aoccontroversy #trumpdefamation #lauraloomer #georgestephanopoulos #breakingnews #politicalnews #usa #xpost #congressnews #defamationcase #civiltrial #ejeancarroll #epsteinupdate #trumplawsuit ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~
