: ESA BlawgEnvirornmental groups send 100,000 comments on proposed changes to Section 7 consultation regulations
By Keith Rizzardi
According to a joint October 14, 2008 press release by the Endangered Species Coalition, Earthjustice, Center for Biological Diversity, Conservation Law Foundation, Defenders of Wildlife, Natural Resources Defense Council, National Audubon Society, and the Sierra Club, more than 100,000 citizens submitted comments that "opposed the Bush Administration's attempt to severely weaken the Endangered Species Act."
