American, More bad news from the Cheney/Scalia/Bush administration: Thursday, April 12, 2001 Plan Eases Rules of Wildlife Protection By Michael Coleman and Tania Soussan Journal Staff Writers The Bush administration wants more leeway for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to decide how and when to protect America's rarest plants and animals — a move prompting protests from some environmentalists. Environmentalists charged that lifting the deadlines would make it impossible for citizens to make sure the Fish and Wildlife Service does its job. Violations of the deadlines often are the key element of lawsuits against the agency. "It's very clear that in the absence of citizen oversight, virtually no species will ever get on the endangered species list," said Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson. In the last 10 years, 92 percent of federal endangered species listings were the result of citizen petitions or lawsuits, Suckling said. abqjournal.com Scumbria
