¡¡¡¡Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States¡£ But just some 22£¬000 birds remain today£¬ occupying about 16% of the species ‘historic range¡£
¡¡¡¡The crash was a major reason the U.S¡£ Fish and Wildlife Service £¨USFWS£©decided to formally list the bird as threatened ¡£“The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation £¬”said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe¡£ Some environmentalists£¬ however£¬ were disappointed¡£ They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered£¬” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats ¡£But Ashe and others argued that the” threatened” tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new£¬ potentially less confrontational conservations approaches¡£ In particular£¬ they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments£¬ which are often uneasy with federal action¡£ and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken‘s habitat¡£
¡¡¡¡Under the plan£¬ for example£¬ the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill£¬ harm£¬ or disturb the bird£¬ as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat¡£ Negotiated by USFWS and the states£¬ the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat ¡£The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat £¬ USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67£¬000 birds over the next 10 years ¡£And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies £¨WAFWA£©£¬ a coalition of state agencies£¬ the job of monitoring progress¡£ Overall£¬ the idea is to let “states” remain in the driver ‘s seat for managing the species£¬” Ashe said¡£
¡¡¡¡Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric¡£ Some Congress members are trying to block the plan£¬ and at least a dozen industry groups£¬ four states£¬ and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court¡£ Not surprisingly£¬ doesn’t go far enough¡£ “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction£¬ ” says biologist Jay Lininger¡£
