Actor Martin Sheen, primate researcher Jane Goodall, and local authors Barbara Kingsolver and Charles Bowden are joining the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity in asking the government to list 225 species as endangered.

The 1,000 pages of legal documents filed Tuesday - billed as the largest listing effort in the 30-year history of the Endangered Species Act - includes 31 species in the Southwest, seven off them in Arizona.

There are now 1,265 U.S. plants and animals listed under the Endangered Species Act, which can restrict land and water use

The Center for BioDumb***es are at it again!

Please FReepmail me if you want on/off this ping list.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Hey man, a new "grocery" list for ya!!!!

[Paul Atreides]

Was John Kerry on the list?

[SandRat]

No, but I surprised he and the HildaBeast didn't show up.

"there are now 1,265 US plants and animals listed under the endangered species act, which can restrict land and water use."

Yet we hear not a mention of a species that has been depleted by forty million over the past thirty years. Seems the species that determins which species are to be listed as endangered, is so far removed from the human species, that we don't matter to them.

Let's add them to Ted Nugent's shopping list instead!

(--Think Nuge counts as a 'luminary?')

Kingsolver is such a great writer, it's a shame she's a political numbskull.

[sheik yerbouty]

What about adding Michael Moore as an endangered fece?

[endthematrix]

How many fools think Martin Sheen is governemnt?

I'd sure like to know how the CBD is funded...

Kieran Suckling is a name I've grown to hate.

[SandRat]

Turner Foundation, Earth First, Workers of the World, and something that used to be called EarthLaw but they have a new name now.

EarthLaw used to be party of the UofDenver College of Law with support coming from the Colorado taxpayers but I don't think they knew. It no longer is now.

[sauropod]

Is Workers of the World = Workers World Party?

Where is the intire list?

[HiJinx]

SandRat is standing here looking over my shoulder. He says, "Yes! It's the Wobblies."

I say, they got part of their start right here in Bisbee in the copper mines. We tend to recognize their fingerprints when they show up.

MoveOn.org was covered in Wobbly fingerprints!

Your starting point is with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Threatened and Endangered Animals and Plants page.

The various lists are accessed lower down that page, here.

"Where is the entire list?"

I don't know, I was just responding to that statement in the Article.

It would be interesting to view that entire list though.
