DOI decides Greater Sage Grouse doesn’t need ESA protection
September 22, 2015

The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) issued its decision that the Greater Sage Grouse does not need federal protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The long-awaited decision was announced on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

"Because of an unprecedented effort by dozens of partners across 11 western states, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has determined that the greater sage-grouse does not require protection under the Endangered Species Act," the DOI posted on its website.
