Who wants biologists when your goal is to extinguish species! During this same period, visits to these Nat. Wildlife Refuges increased by 34%! Burgum also wants to cut 100’s of smaller Fed. Nat. Parks!

Trump & Burgum are doing all they can to destroy U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serv. (FWS). They’ve cut staff by 18% & biologists by 530. 9% of Nat. Wildlife Refuges are shuttered & 59% of refuges have inadequate resources!

Hamm owns Sec. of Energy Wright who lobbied for Hamm’s oil industry group. Burgum is weakening rules to protect end. species & rules that protect water from drilling. Interior used to conduct rigorous Envmntal. Impact Reviews—now cut to shams sped thru in 28 days or less.
