"The Trump administration has listed fewer species as threatened or endangered in its first 22 months than any other president since Ronald Reagan over the same period, according to data reviewed by Bloomberg Environment.
The candy darter, a small freshwater fish native to West Virginia, on Nov. 21 became the 15th domestic species listed by the Trump team as either threatened or endangered.
The Clinton administration listed 166 new species as endangered during the same 22-month time period at the start of his first term; the Obama administration listed 56."
