Moghissi characterizes environmentalism as a belief that ‘members of endangered species deserve protection and that, because there are billions of humans, humanity does not qualify for protection.’ As an ‘expert on risk assessment,’ Moghissi appears regularly on rosters of industry-supported ‘expert panels’ that work to undermine environmental regulations. He serves on the advisory board of numerous antienvironmental organizations and right-wing ‘think tanks,’ including the American Policy Center’s ‘EPA Watch,’ the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition, and the National Wilderness Institute, a ‘wise use’ anti-environmental organization that calls for abolition of the Endangered Species Act.
