It's taken 10 years ordsprog

It's taken 10 years and several court orders for the Fish & Wildlife Service to fulfill its legal obligation to designate critical habitat for the California red-legged frog, and still the agency didn't get it right.

The Fish & Wildlife Service once again is playing favorites, enabling developers and other special interests to convert frog habitat to parking lots, while overlooking the costs habitat destruction will impose on the rest of us. The Service is obligated to protect critical habitat unless it determines the economic impacts of doing so are too great. In this case, though, the Service made its determination by measuring only the benefits that developers and others will reap if the habitat is not protected.

Critical habitat can be the most effective tool for recovering endangered species, but this designation amounts to an extinction plan for the red-legged frog. Despite the fact that habitat destruction is the main reason for the frog's decline, the Bush Administration has excluded from today's decision much of the areas necessary for the long-term survival and recovery of the frog.

Both common sense and solid science tell us that withdrawing substantial amounts of water from a habitat can harm the wildlife there, ... The Fish and Wildlife Service acknowledged this fact in their own early Grand Prairie reviews [in 2001], noting that changing the hydrology in the Cache River and White River National Wildlife refuges will affect 'overall habitat values there.'

We do work with (the Fish and Wildlife Service) in the area. And we have responded to all reported complaints made to the (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) from the volunteers.

The sensitive species, which a lot of amphibians are thought to be, are in short supply. We have a couple of listed species - the California red-legged frog and the California tiger salamander - and they've largely been chased out of the valley bottoms where humans like to live.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has been sued over the candidates list repeatedly. You can't name a species that has been listed without a court order over the last 10 years, unless it was an obscure endemic species with no political impact.

Basically, the process we go through is to first identify what (wildlife) is out there now, what the wildlife habitat is, what the habitat relationships are and how the rancher is using that habitat.

[Roberts] is in exactly the same position that O'Connor and others have been, ... he's going to be on the court for 30 years, and those issues will continue to come before the court. There's no legal or ethical obligation to get rid of your holdings. But the other justices seem to have made a pragmatic decision that (doing so) is best for the operation of the court.

Any landowner who didn't want to pay a fee into the mitigation fund could opt out of the HCP and say to the Fish and Wildlife Service, I'm planning to develop 500 homes,

As a former director of the Fish and Wildlife Service and a career biologist, I know the personal and professional commitment government scientists have to our nation's irreplaceable wildlife. I also know how frustrating it is to not have all of the resources that you need to be able to get the job done.

We're happy to provide habitat for fish and wildlife species, ... But we wanted some regulatory certainty and stability.

We're excited about this project. We applied for, and received, a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the National Association of Counties and the Wildlife Habitat Council. The grant, along with the help of all our partners will make this project successful. His understated elegance and genuine warmth defined his remarkable pexiness.

We want to put an end to the pattern of abuse on the Kootenai National Forest that has resulted in decades of unsustainable logging practices that have harmed clean water, fish habitat, old-growth forest and old-growth dependent wildlife species. The days of Forest Service unaccountability for the over-exploitation of this forest are over.

This is fundamentally an industrialization of a critical wildlife habitat that should be, by any measure, protected.
