Proposed Listing of Greater Sage Grouse Delayed

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has postponed a final determination on listing the Greater Sage Grouse in central California and southwest Nevada until April 2015. Citing substantial disagreement with the science that would justify the endangered species listing, USFWS has reopened the public comment period on the listing as well as a proposed 1.8 million acre critical habitat designation until June 09, 2014.
