D.C. District Court Rules Against Recovery of Endangered Species in Habitat Plans
Court decides that the definition of conservation does not include recovery, thus Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) do not have to conserve endangered species, just keep them on the brink of extinction. Over 500 HCPs have been approved by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 1994-2004, permiting the killing of over 500 listed and rare species with destruction of over sixty million acres nationwide.
