Federal Judge Orders USFWS To Reconsider Determination Streaked Horned Lark Not Threatened, Endangered; Less Than 2,000 Birds
In response to a lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity and Bird Alliance of Oregon, a federal judge found that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2022 determination that the streaked horned lark is threatened and not endangered is unlawful. The court ordered the Service to reconsider within one year whether the lark warrants endangered species protections.
