“In August 2023, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that there is substantive evidence that the pinyon jay may warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act. The finding comes more than a year after the Service’s 90-day requirement to review Defenders’ petition for species listing under the ESA. Pinyon jays are a keystone species that is significantly decreasing in numbers throughout its habitat in the West.”
