Bill overview
This bill, the WHOLE Act of 2020, aims to strengthen the Endangered Species Act by requiring federal agencies to consider the full range of conservation efforts when assessing the potential impact of their actions on endangered and threatened species. Specifically, it directs agencies to evaluate how existing and planned conservation measures, such as habitat protection and management, can offset any negative effects of proposed actions. The goal is to ensure a more holistic approach to protecting species and their habitats. This legislation seeks to balance development with species preservation.
