What it does
The ProTECT Act of 2025 would amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to prohibit the taking or importation of trophies from any fish or wildlife species listed as either endangered or threatened under the Act. It would ban trophy hunting of threatened species within U.S. territory and the import of such trophies into the United States, while also restricting federal permits that would allow these activities. The bill defines a "trophy" as any whole dead animal or recognizable part obtained under a hunting license or similar authorization, and extends existing prohibitions on endangered species to include threatened species, addressing a current gap in the law.
