As the Trump administration moves to alter or remove key federal datasets, a coalition is scrambling to rescue and preserve critical before it disappears.

The article from Forbes, published on March 6, 2025, discusses the efforts of a group known as the "Data Heroes" who are working to preserve environmental data amidst fears of its potential deletion or alteration by the Trump administration. These individuals, comprising scientists, data experts, and volunteers, are racing against time to archive and safeguard vast amounts of climate and environmental data from government websites. The urgency stems from concerns that the Trump administration might erase or manipulate this data to support deregulation efforts or to obscure evidence of climate change. The group uses various methods like web scraping, data mirroring, and creating backups to ensure the data's integrity and availability for future research, policy-making, and public accountability. Their mission is driven by the belief that access to this data is crucial for transparency, scientific research, and the formulation of environmental policies.
