Take Action for Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls
Comments and Information about Pygmy-Owls Requested
Deadline: August 1, 2008
In response to the petition to relist the pygmy owl as endangered, on June 2, 2008, the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced in a 90-day finding that the petition presented significant information indicating that relisting may be warranted, and that the Service will review the status of the species during the following year (June 2, 2008 - June 2, 2009).
The FWS encourages the public to provide any new relevant information on the historical and current status of the species, including distribution, biology and ecology, ongoing conservation measures for the species and its habitat, and threats to the species or its habitat. Comments and information will be accepted until Friday, August 1, 2008 and must be submitted online.
Submit your comments and information.
