Bush Administration Reinterprets Endangered Species Act
By Jeff Barnard,
The Associated Press Monday 19 March 2007
A copy of the article is posted at
www.truthout.org/issues_06...07EB.shtml
Excerpts from article:
Tired of losing lawsuits brought by conservation groups,
the Bush administration issued a new interpretation of
the Endangered Species Act that would allow it to
protect plants and animals only in areas where they
are struggling to survive, while ignoring places they
are healthy or have already died out.
....
At issue is the language in the Endangered Species Act
.....
That would make it easier to take the gray wolf off the
federal threatened species list in Montana and Idaho,
leaving it to the states to manage.
,,...
Protections for endangered species have stopped
new housing developments, limited logging, cut off
irrigation, and forced limits on fishing.At issue is
the language in the Endangered Species Act
.....
...Kieran Suckling, policy director for the
Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson,
www.biologicaldiversity.org/
said the new policy was a sophisticated effort by
the Bush administration to gut the Endangered
species Act
....
If upheld by the courts, Suckling estimated the new
policy would remove 80 percent of the roughly
1,300 species from threatened and endangered lists
....
"It's just so clearly illogical and anti-wildlife that I can't
wait to get this before a federal judge," Suckling said.
"They are rewarding industry for driving populations
extinct.
......
"This policy will do more to promote the purposeful
killing of imperiled species than anything else this
administration has ever done."
