The bald eagle is still protected just as it was prior to the rule changes. It’s habitat is also still protected. The same goes for every other species. The new rules change the processes for adding and removing critters to and from the various lists and how they move up or down those lists, either increasing or decreasing their protected status. The same people will be still using the same criteria in making these determinations so there will be no removal of species from any list that shouldn’t be.
