US Fish and Wildlife Service Announces 12-Month Finding on Petition to List Northern Mexican Gartersnake as Threatened or Endangered

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has made a 12-month finding on a petition to list the northern Mexican gartersnake as threatened or endangered with critical habitat, citing habitat destruction, predation, and inadequate regulatory mechanisms, and precludes listing due to higher priority actions to amend the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants.
