The rescission of the ESA's 'harm' definition removes a major regulatory hurdle for biotech and pharma facility construction near sensitive habitats.

Federal agencies have finalized the rescission of the Endangered Species Act's 'harm' definition, replacing it with Justice Scalia's dissent interpretation. This dramatically narrows what constitutes a prohibited 'take' and eliminates indirect habitat liability, creating significant legal uncertainty and anticipated litigation from conservation groups.
