This presentation explores the various ways that industry lobbyists and right-wing operatives have infiltrated the Interior Department and are now using the powerful agency to rollback essential environmental laws, including the Endangered Species Act.

Journalist Jimmy Tobias discusses some of the investigative reporting he's done looking into Trump's Interior Department, with a focus on the agency's most crooked political appointees and its most egregious anti-environmental actions.

Oregon Wild's Doug Heiken reviews the Trump administration's newly announced rollbacks of critical habitat for the northern spotted owl and what the move means for Oregon's beloved remaining old growth forests, followed by a Q&A.
