Obama Restores Key Provision in Endangered Species Act
Endangered species are “breathing a sigh of relief today” with the announcement that President Obama will issue a presidential memorandum reversing a December 2008 Bush administration decision that “eviscerated” the Endangered Species Act.
The move will restore a longstanding and key protection of the ESA, stripped away by the Bush administration, that required federal agencies to consult with independent federal wildlife experts and scientists to determine how their actions would impact threatened or endangered species.
