Center for Native Ecosystems v. Salazar, Civ. No. 09-1463 (D. Colo.)
Case Summary:
On behalf of Defenders of Wildlife, the Center for Native Ecosystems, and other
conservation organizations we challenged the Bush Administration's decision to
delist the threatened Prebles Meadow Jumping Mouse in the Wyoming portions of
its range. The decision is based on a controversial policy change that we are
also challenging, under which species, subspecies, and distinct population
segments may be protected under the Endangered Species Act in only a portion of
their presently occupied range.
Plaintiffs: Center for Native Ecosystems, Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, and Natural Resources Defense Council.
