BREAKING NEWSIN FOCUS
SILVER CITY, N.M.— The Center for Biological Diversity Monday proposed designation of approximately 27 million acres in Arizona and 26 million acres in New Mexico as critical habitat for endangered jaguars. The Center suggested smaller areas in Southern California and West Texas as critical habitat as well. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will consider the science behind the Center’s proposal and other comments before issuing a proposed rule in January 2011 to designate jaguar critical habitat. “This is a big swath of land to protect for an endangered animal,” said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity. “But jaguars roam over vast distances. They need their past and future homes protected if the northern jaguar population and eventually the species as a whole is to recover from the brink of extinction and become secure.” Learn more about our campaign to save jaguars. |
