Environmental Data Governance Initiative is a leader in a new field: environmental data justice.

The group was formed in 2016 to track and analyze changes to federal environmental data and practices under the previous Trump administration.

In the U.S. , the Environmental Right to Know is a belief that people have the right to know about environmental issues that affect them.

As well as scrubbing websites of vital information, the Trump administration has taken down vital information.

Zane Selvans is co-founder of Catalyst Cooperative , which works to “liberate open data about the U.S. energy system’s data.

He says the data preservation community has had “frantic text messages or just rumors from folks that such and such data is going to go down.” The National Security Archive's Climate Change Transparency Project published a selection of materials and webpages relating to environmental justice and climate change.
