"The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and its parent agency, the Department of the Interior, have lately come under fire for their management the Endangered Species Act. Last week a document was leaked that reveals plans to revise the law without prior congressional approval."

These people are voted in to look after our interests, and by extention, the planet's interests. When they fail us we should have recourse to some form of justice.

Thanks Blacknad. From the article:

"environmental groups contend that they would loosen restrictions on timber and other industries, undermine wildlife protections, and reduce the total number of federally protected species."

I presume that was the intention. Two hundred and eighty species!
