US Fish and Wildlife Service Announces 90-Day Finding on Petition to Downlist Five Southwest Species

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has announced a 90-day finding on a petition to downlist four species, including the gypsum wild-buckwheat and the lesser long-nosed bat, from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The agency will conduct a comprehensive review of the species' status, including a 5-year review, to determine if delisting and reclassification are warranted.
