Eric Lipton

Eric Lipton, a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a reporter at The New York Times for nearly two decades, has spent the last year tracking the effort by the Trump administration to remake federal environmental regulations, as well as policies that govern the management of more than 700 million areas of national parks and federal lands.

Lipton is based in Washington, but has traveled around nationwide—to spots including Montana, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio and Illinois—to see how these Trump-era policy changes are impacting individual families and communities in consequential ways. He has also used Freedom of Information Act requests–with the help of a legal clinic at Yale Law School-to collect thousands of pages of federal documents detailing these shifts.
