Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is currently accepting comments on potential changes to regulations governing implementation of a key provision of the Endangered Species Act. The affected provision requires federal agencies to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife or National Marine Fisheries Services to ensure their actions don't jeopardize the continued existence of endangered species or harm their critical habitat.
Before next Monday, August 3rd, please submit comments to Secretary Salazar expressing support for a strong Endangered Species Act and opposing any changes to the regulations that reduce consultation, narrow the circumstances under which federal agencies must consult, or create specific exemptions for greenhouse gas emissions or other pollutants.
