Fish and Wildlife Service corrects habitat designation for Canada lynx

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is issuing a correction to a rule published on June 16, 2026. That previous rule established revised “critical habitat” areas for the Canada lynx population in the contiguous United States.

Why it matters: This is a minor administrative correction to existing paperwork and does not change the actual boundaries or protections established in the original rule.

Who it affects

• Federal agencies involved in land management or environmental review

This action was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; readers should consult the official Federal Register entry to verify specific changes before relying on the previous version of the rule.
