National Coalition Says Representative Westerman’s Bill Would Devastate the Endangered Species Act and Push Imperiled Wildlife to Extinction

North Atlantic right whales are dangerously close to extinction with fewer than 400 individuals remaining and only an estimated 70 reproductively active females. The loss of even a single whale, particularly a reproductive female or calf, has serious consequences for the survival of the species.

The Endangered Species Coalition is condemning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s newly announced request for information on implementation of the gray wolf nonessential experimental population rule in Colorado.
