Trump officials ask the Texas Court to end the protection of the lesser wild chicken

The Trump administration has moved to end the federal protection of the lesser wild chicken, which is a delightful sharp with bad luck that the southern and central herbal lands that have long been required for agriculture and energy development.

In the court file on Wednesday, officials said that fish and wildlife service had erred in a decision during the Biden era to put the bird on the list of endangered species.

It is the latest in blurring the measures conducted by the White House, which seeks to weaken or eliminate the environmental regulations that restrict President Trump’s agenda “drilling, child, drilling.”

This is the latest development for the species that have fought for three decades.

The microcreditary chickens – known for the exotic engagement performances of the males, rejected their tail feathers and “jumping” – from historical estimates of hundreds of thousands or even millions to only about 30,000 today. Hapile loss is the main perpetrator.

In the deposit, in the US District Court of the Western Region in Texas, officials said they expected to re -evaluate the plane of the bird by November 30, 2026.

Although the species lack federal protection under the Law of Endangered Species in the meantime, the movement stated that “at least sixteen efforts and various programs for conservation managed by federal entities, especially in the state, which benefit the lesser wild chicken.”

But specialists to maintain the preservation of what they said said that the service of fish and wildlife will not be committed to reconsidering the species on this schedule and expected that they would have to prosecute it to achieve this.

“The Trump administration is falling again to the fossil fuel industry, ignoring the sound science and a healthy sense, and calms the species exposed to extinction,” Jason Rayander, a lawyer at the Biodiversity Center, said in a statement.

“The removal of the protection of the endangered species law is a purely political action that will not stand in court.” His group interfered in the case.

As far as it dates back to 1998, federal wildlife officials found that the lesser wild chicken deserved protection, but at first they said that other species were higher priority. Later, the bird bounced down and then outside the list of threatened and endangered species, and caught in the lawsuits.

In 2022, during the reign of President Biden, The lesser wild chicken has been protected again. This decision divided the species into two distinct groups, as it classified the southern decision (in East New Mexico and South West Texas) as threatened with extinction and north (in the center and western Kansas, and the center of Oklahoma and northeastern Texas) as threatened, which still offers some protection.

Petroleum and education industries raised prosecution in 2023, as did the states of Texas, Kandas and Aklouma.

Now the Trump administration argues that fish and wildlife service was wrong in assessing species as a distinguished population, and that doing so “manipulates itself” the decision to include it.

The leading global scientific authority in the setting of species, The International Federation for the Preservation of the Red List of NatureBurrin chicken is classified less as weak, closer to the United States list for threat.

Mr. Relander of the Biodiversity Center said he intends to present opposition to the federal movement in the coming days. The battle occurs about the smaller wild chicken, as scientists warn that the planet is facing Levels of biological diversity It is unprecedented in the history of mankind.

Moderate herbal lands are among the most ecosystems in the world.
