The Fish and Wildlife Service Lists the Lesser Prairie-Chicken as a Threatened Species Under the Endangered Species Act

Yesterday, Pillsbury attorneys Brad Raffle, Tom Campbell, Anthony Cavender and Nicholas Krohn published their advisory titled The Fish and Wildlife Service Lists the Lesser Prairie-Chicken as a Threatened Species Under the Endangered Species Act. The Advisory discusses the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s March 21, 2014 final rule which lists the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (LPC) as a “threatened” species under the Endangered Species Act. One implication of the listing is that the LPC’s new status as a threatened species must now be considered in federal permitting matters.
