U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Announces 12-Month Finding on Petition to Delist Southern Selkirk Mountains Population of Woodland Caribou

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced a 12-month finding on a petition to delist the southern Selkirk Mountains population of woodland caribou, concluding that delisting is not warranted. Instead, the agency proposes to revise the current listing to define a distinct population segment, which would list the Southern Mountain Caribou DPS as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
