Very thankful that the next president will redefine harm again to destruction loss of habitat. Hopefully a law will be passed to permanently enshrine this definition so no future Republicans can undo that measure.

I strongly disagree with you

Instead, we need to get congress to update the law to codify what the new regulations are proposing

The amount of red tape that we have, it's not sustainable

What about if it's a niche species only found in one limited locale? With tens, hundreds or more sister species in that genus?
