The House Natural Resources Committee has launched an investigation into the Fish and Wildlife Service's spending on its social justice agenda, saying the agency charged with rescuing endangered species is spending much of its time and money working instead on "social change."

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams has gone all-in on wokeness, labeling the push for diversity, equity and inclusion her "number one priority" at an agency whose mission is to protect species and preserve their habitats.

The House Natural Resources Committee demanded answers Tuesday from the Fish and Wildlife Service over its ecogrief training for employees and warned a full investigation could ensue unless the agency cancels the course and uses the money for more important priorities like saving endangered animals.
