Citizens can expect these decisions to be made with greater consideration of local data and needs, potentially impacting land and natural resource management in their areas.
Key points
State authorities will receive all data forming the basis of species protection decisions before these decisions are announced.
Data provided by state, tribal, and local governments must be considered as the best available scientific and commercial data in the decision-making process.
