Seven days: 7–13 June 2013 2013-06-12T17:50:16.603Z The FWS proposal comes as the need for chimpanzees in biomedical research has come under question. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z The “threatened” designation also means that people can import, export or sell great apes with an FWS permit. Chimpanzees May Finally Gain Full Protection under the Endangered Species Act 2013-06-11T22:15:02.260Z The report appeared in the FWS publication North American Fauna. Grey wolves left out in the cold 2013-09-12T13:50:23.897Z Gavin Shire, public affairs specialist with FWS, told me how important individuals are to plant conservation. Endangered Plants for Sale Online: Are They Legal? 2013-07-24T15:15:12.737Z The FWS proposal would maintain federal protection for the Mexican wolf in the southwest. Seven days: 7–13 June 2013 2013-06-12T17:50:16.603Z FWS has classified wild chimpanzees as endangered since 1990, but has given captive chimps less protection. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z FWS provides models to translate the data from stage 2 into fatality and disturbance rates. 5 Steps To Keep Your Wind Farm From Killing Eagles 2013-05-03T13:18:47Z The FWS issued the following statement about the decision, which I think is worth reproducing in full, as it does not appear to be posted on their Web site: On March 28, 2013, the U.S. Hunter Allowed to Import Rhino Trophy into U.S. for First Time in 33 Years 2013-04-25T19:45:12.860Z WildEarth Guardians and seven other conservation groups announced on September 10 that they plan to file a lawsuit against the FWS to reinstate the wolves’ protected status. 23,000 People from 33 States Apply for Minnesota Wolf Hunting Permits; Unrestricted Hunting Starts Soon in Wyoming 2012-09-11T21:45:12.130Z Macho B's death added urgency to the issue, and a few weeks later a federal district court agreed with the CBD, mandating that the FWS reconsider its previous decision not to grant jaguars critical habitat. Kitty Corner: Jaguars Win Critical Habitat in U.S. 2012-08-21T11:15:00.170Z FWS's website posts blurbs from several of the petitioners strongly backing the proposed change. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z FWS recognizes no advanced conservation procedures for deterring eagles from turbine blades—no scare-eagle devices on the model of the scarecrow—but that’s largely because of a lack of research, according to the Guidance. 5 Steps To Keep Your Wind Farm From Killing Eagles 2013-05-03T13:18:47Z FWS, it should be noted, has not opened the doors for unrestricted rhino trophy imports. Hunter Allowed to Import Rhino Trophy into U.S. for First Time in 33 Years 2013-04-25T19:45:12.860Z In addition to the payments, Gibson is withdrawing its claim to wood seized by the FWS, estimated to be worth more than £200,000. Gibson settles discord on timber 2012-08-06T17:09:50Z The FWS determined that the species didn't need special protection in the U.S. to survive, compelling the CBD to file another lawsuit in 2007. Kitty Corner: Jaguars Win Critical Habitat in U.S. 2012-08-21T11:15:00.170Z FWS explicitly did not side with the petitioners, however, with regard to the assertions about the negative conservation effects of pet and "entertainment" chimpanzees. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z When FWS first proposed critical habitat for the endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow, based on his 2 decades of research on the species, Pimm liked the map. Protected Habitat Shrunk for U.S. Endangered Species 2012-07-05T22:37:18Z “We do plan on proposing to designate some critical habitat,” says Steve Spangle, field supervisor for FWS in Phoenix. Jaguars May Soon Get Critical Habitat in the U.S. 2012-07-05T11:15:00.220Z The FWS and its partners are also assessing northern long-eared bat populations, and monitoring bat caves throughout the US and Canada to catch the disease as early as possible. In pictures: Bats on 'extinction watch' 2012-05-31T06:50:29Z Although the designated area represents the northernmost part of the jaguar's range, the FWS proposal argues that peripheral populations are essential to the species because their adaptation to different environmental conditions strengthens evolutionary diversity. Kitty Corner: Jaguars Win Critical Habitat in U.S. 2012-08-21T11:15:00.170Z Even though FWS did not agree with a central tenet of the petition, Kathleen Conlee, vice president for animal research at the Humane Society of the United States, applauded the proposed rule. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z FWS is required to designate critical habitat when it puts an organism on the endangered species list, although it doesn't always do this unless sued by environmental organizations. Protected Habitat Shrunk for U.S. Endangered Species 2012-07-05T22:37:18Z FWS also released a draft environmental impact statement that describes how the agency might try removing barred owls from the habitat of the spotted owls by either relocating or shooting them. U.S. Proposes to Save Spotted Owl With Chainsaws and Shotguns 2012-02-28T22:35:11Z Edward Grace, deputy chief of law enforcement for the FWS, said the seven individuals were charged with multiple counts, including trafficking endangered species and conspiracy. US arrests rhino horn smugglers 2012-02-24T01:55:38Z The American Society of Mammalogists outlined the same arguments in a 2007 resolution calling for FWS to develop a jaguar recovery plan and delineate critical habitat. Kitty Corner: Jaguars Win Critical Habitat in U.S. 2012-08-21T11:15:00.170Z In the future, if FWS finalizes the rule, scientists would receive permits only if their work aimed to "enhance the propagation or survival" of the species. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z But more than 90% of the time, FWS ultimately decided to do the opposite. Protected Habitat Shrunk for U.S. Endangered Species 2012-07-05T22:37:18Z In a change from current policies, FWS will encourage so-called active management of owl habitat, such as thinning forests that face a high risk of burning. U.S. Proposes to Save Spotted Owl With Chainsaws and Shotguns 2012-02-28T22:35:11Z Edward Grace, deputy chief of law enforcement for the FWS, said the six individuals were charged with multiple counts, including trafficking endangered species and conspiracy. US arrests rhino horn smugglers 2012-02-23T22:13:19Z The FWS reversal should help quell a long-standing debate among conservationists, scientists, government officials, ranchers and local residents about how vital U.S. territory is to the preservation of the species. Kitty Corner: Jaguars Win Critical Habitat in U.S. 2012-08-21T11:15:00.170Z FWS would also require permits for sale across state lines of chimpanzee cell lines, tissue, or blood. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z FWS was more likely to listen to peer reviewers who recommended removing proposed areas of critical habitat for reasons such as because it had not been properly identified. Protected Habitat Shrunk for U.S. Endangered Species 2012-07-05T22:37:18Z According to FWS, there are only an estimated 590 of the salamanders left in the wild. Hellbender Salamander Gets Endangered Species Designation, but No Habitat Protection--and That May Be a Good Thing 2011-10-07T19:15:02.787Z Instead, FWS will be weighing in on whether the petition to list this bumpy creature merits a deeper look, what's termed a 90-day finding. Deadline Approaches for Hundreds of Endangered Species Decisions 2011-09-30T20:33:50Z Its numbers are so diminished that it is no longer found in Vermont, and it exists in just a handful of smaller populations in its historic range, the FWS says. Native New England cottontail rabbits disappearing 2011-09-17T21:19:05Z The bottom line, he says, is if the rule is implemented, it gives FWS leverage to push for conservation benefits for wild chimpanzees. Captive Chimpanzees in U.S. May Get Status Bump to Endangered, Possibly Affecting Research 2013-06-12T00:00:00Z This move by FWS is just the first step in a process to gather information. Should Captive-Bred Chimpanzees Have Full Endangered Species Act Protection? 2011-09-07T15:15:00.233Z “The Ozark hellbender faces extinction without the protection afforded by the Endangered Species Act,” said FWS Midwest Regional Director Tom Melius in a prepared statement. Hellbender Salamander Gets Endangered Species Designation, but No Habitat Protection--and That May Be a Good Thing 2011-10-07T19:15:02.787Z Earlier this year, for instance, some members of Congress tried to block FWS from listing new species under the Endangered Species Act in 2012 in an interior spending bill. Deadline Approaches for Hundreds of Endangered Species Decisions 2011-09-30T20:33:50Z FWS claims the ebony sent from India was mislabelled, and that Indian law forbids the export of unfinished ebony and rosewood. Guitars and the law: Guns N? Rosewood 2011-09-01T08:47:45Z Department of Agriculture regulations that monitor these laboratories, but insists that an uplisting by FWS will improve their lot. U.S. Agency to Consider, Again, If Captive Chimpanzees Deserve Endangered Status 2011-08-31T23:41:10Z According to the FWS, whitebark pine is better suited to recover from natural wildfires than other trees. Whitebark Pine Turned Down for Endangered Species List 2011-07-21T17:15:00.253Z As a result of all of these factors, the FWS says that Ozark hellbenders face extinction within 20 years, making protection for them essential for their survival. Hellbender Salamander Gets Endangered Species Designation, but No Habitat Protection--and That May Be a Good Thing 2011-10-07T19:15:02.787Z And in August, FWS declared this several-inch-long swimmer, which is included in the recent agreement, endangered along with four other local fish species. Deadline Approaches for Hundreds of Endangered Species Decisions 2011-09-30T20:33:50Z As a result, the final agreement takes the form of two agreements, one between FWS and CBD and the other between FWS and a Santa Fe, New Mexico group called WildEarth Guardians. Deal Will Fast-Track Hundreds of Species onto Endangered List 2011-07-14T21:45:00.467Z Vanessa Kauffman, a FWS spokesperson, notes that the decision to review the status of captive chimpanzees is basically an opportunity for the public to offer comments over the next 60 days. U.S. Agency to Consider, Again, If Captive Chimpanzees Deserve Endangered Status 2011-08-31T23:41:10Z FWS acting director Rowan Gould said, "Gray wolves in the western Great Lakes are recovered and no longer warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act." Wolves Lose Out to Politics, Removed from Endangered Species List 2011-05-05T03:45:00.233Z Their argument then was that the FWS couldn't delist animals in just part of the Northern Rocky Mountain region because it violated the Endangered Species Act, in a procedural way more than a biological one. Congress Fiddles With Wildlife Management 2011-04-15T12:30:00Z Your local FWS office can help direct you to conservation groups. With so many species being endangered, which one should I help? 2011-03-15T04:00:00Z Gary Frazer, assistant director for endangered species at the FWS, says that the agreement will give the agency a much needed "cooling off period". Deal Will Fast-Track Hundreds of Species onto Endangered List 2011-07-14T21:45:00.467Z "White-tailed deer were nearly eradicated from the eastern U.S. in the late 1800s," says Mark McCollough, FWS's lead scientist for the eastern cougar. Giving up on the "ghost cat": Eastern cougar subspecies declared extinct 2011-03-09T21:15:07.747Z It currently has only one breeding population of 120 to 160 animals in southwestern Florida, the FWS said. U.S. officials declare eastern cougar extinct 2011-03-02T17:45:04Z “Scientifically, the 2009 rule was rock-solid,” says Ed Bangs, who's been working for the FWS as a wolf recovery coordinator in the Northern Rockies for 23 years. Congress Fiddles With Wildlife Management 2011-04-15T12:30:00Z Aside from its shrinking habitat, the major threat now, according to the FWS, is the growing number of barred owls in the area. Should barred owls be shot to save endangered spotted owls? 2011-02-16T18:15:00.230Z FWS spokeswoman Vanessa Kauffman says that although the settlement will help the agency to clear its backlog, new species can still enter the pipeline. Deal Will Fast-Track Hundreds of Species onto Endangered List 2011-07-14T21:45:00.467Z Although FWS could not verify that number, finding real counts of captive cougars is hard, because many are held illegally without permits, he says. Giving up on the "ghost cat": Eastern cougar subspecies declared extinct 2011-03-09T21:15:07.747Z The FWS now plans to seek the removal of the eastern cougar from the endangered species list, because extinct animals can no longer be protected.
