Gunnison’s Prairie Dog Settlement Agreement
A coalition of scientists, spiritual leaders, and conservation groups settled a lawsuit in D.C. federal court over the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) refusal to conduct a full review on whether to list the Gunnison’s prairie dog, found in the southwest, under the Endangered Species Act. Under the settlement, the court ordered the Service to issue a new determination on Endangered Species Act protection for the Gunnison’s by February 1, 2008.
