BigJon01 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just received this from ARRA via email Send an Email Thanking Representatives Bishop and Chaffetz and Senator Lee for their Help in Ensuring that the Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle is no Longer to be Listed as Threatened. As you may recall, ARRA alerted you late last year that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued a proposed rule to list the Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle as a threatened species and to designate most of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes geologic formation as critical habitat for the subspecies. If the rule would have been finalized as proposed it would have almost certainly ensured that OHV access in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes area would have been forever lost. Fortunately the USFWS has withdrawn this proposed rule. Read the official notice from the Federal Register. ARRA would like to thank all of you who weighed in and everyone else who had a hand in ensuring that sound science and collaboration prevailed on this issue. A special note of thanks is offered to Representatives Rob Bishop (R-UT) and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) who all played an active and effective role in this process. Please send an email thanking Representatives Bishop and Chaffetz and Senator Lee for their leadership on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
