For the third time in a decade, federal wildlife officials are contemplating whether the bi-state sage grouse deserves protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Conservationists blame"political gamesmanship" for leaving the bird in regulatory limbo since 2013. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday it's doing a fresh review after a federal judge ruled last May that the Trump administration acted illegally when it withdrew the most recent proposal to list the species as threatened.
"None of the science shows that the bi-state birds have benefited from the service's dithering," she said. The Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comment through June 23 and intends to make a new listing determination by May 2024. "The political gamesmanship surrounding the bi-state sage grouse's listing status is, sadly, not unique to this imperiled species," said Lindsay Larris, wildlife program director at WildEarth Guardians.
