Relevant quote, which is more informative than the title:
The Obama Administration has recently proposed putting into place new regulations which would make it harder to protect species from extinction. And with this announcement, massive citizen petitions have poured in, setting a new precedent for citizen advocacy.
As Brett Hartl, an endangered species policy coordinator at the Center for Biological Diversity, comments, “These new rules will put up massive roadblocks between wildlife teetering on the brink of extinction and the federal protections that will keep them alive. Most animals protected under the Endangered Species Act today are there because ordinary citizens petitioned to make it happen. These pro-industry rules will discourage that public participation, increase frivolous litigation, and prevent many of our most imperiled species from getting the protection they need to survive.”
