Project 2025, a roadmap for the next Republican administration prepared by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, calls for massive changes to national conservation and environmental protection programs, including for example:
• shrinking Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument in Maine
• legally defending a President’s authority to reduce the size of national monuments
• repealing the Antiquities Act to stop the presidential designation of future national monuments
• sabotaging science-based policies that address climate change
• circumscribing the structure and mission of the Environmental Protection Agency
• increasing logging in national forests
• ending input by species specialists in the Endangered Species Act program
• letting states take over management of endangered species
