CSPA a co-signer of letter asking USFWS to resist weakening proposals

 

August 4, 2009 -- CSPA has signed onto the Endangered Species coalition letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) supporting the Final Rule on Interagency Cooperation (Section 7) under the Endangered Species Act.  Just prior to the close of the Bush  administration, the administration initiated last minute rule changes eliminating many requirements for interagency consultation, which had the effect of undermining the scientific integrity of ESA.  Secretaries Locke and Salazar repealed these last minute changes and are reinstating previous requirements.  The letter, signed by an array of environmental and fishing groups across the nation urges USFWS to resist efforts to weaken the proposed provisions.
