oke: ... I will add that, as of last spring there was not enough data for a decision to be made. If you go find the literature on it, it was repeated again and again that there isn't enough data. For anyone who knows the way it works, from july to february is not enough time to collect data, analyze it, have it reviewed, meet about it, etc. Hopefully the science behind this decision is sound, it just doesn't make sense that it would come now from everything I have heard and read from procedings, including word of mouth from people who sit in on them.
Endangered/threatend status is a drastic qualification and very difficult to get for many reasons.
Again, this sounds good...
