Maintaining biodiversity in our grasslands is key to protecting our environment. We are grateful that these science-based protections will be safeguarded from removal.
Removing protections for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken would set the species on a path to extinction and undermine the Endangered Species Act. Thank you @POTUS for making the right call in vetoing SJ Res 9. https://t.co/cqnElmFgZd

We are encouraged to see @SenatorCarper offer a thoughtful discussion draft to improve our nation's federal permitting process. @audubonsociety believes we can spur the climate action #BirdsTellUs is needed and help #BringBirdsBack. Our take:
audubon.org
Congressional reform of federal permitting and review programs presents an important need to balance conservation, community, and the economy.
