Overview

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture will restore climate-related content removed from its websites after President Trump's January inauguration.
• This decision follows a lawsuit filed in February by farming and environmental groups, citing violations of federal transparency laws.
• The deleted resources included tools like the 'Climate Risk Viewer,' which helped farmers assess climate impacts on water supplies and land management.
• Restoration efforts are already underway and are expected to be completed within two weeks, ahead of a May 21 court hearing on the case.
• Advocates say the restoration is a significant win for farmers and researchers who rely on these resources to navigate climate challenges and secure funding.
