Obama opposes Bush endangered species proposal

in Animal News

“A Bush administration proposal that would eliminate the input of independent government scientists in some endangered species reviews would be tossed out if Democrat Barack Obama wins the White House, his campaign says. … [A] proposal by the Interior and Commerce departments … would change how the 1973 law is implemented, allowing federal agencies to decide for themselves — without seeking the opinions of government wildlife experts — whether dams, highways and other projects have the potential to harm endangered species and habitats.”

The protection of endangered species is of great concern to Born Free USA united with API, and we support attitudes that shield them from threats to their survival.
