The Center for Biological Diversity just won two victories against the Trump administration. Sparing vital protected wetlands, a judge struck down a federal plan to trade away land in the heart of Alaska's pristine Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to build a road. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld an order blocking the Army Corps permit that pipeline projects like Keystone XL use to cross waterways. This decision protects habitat that people and imperiled species rely on while a full appeal of the order moves forward.
