The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reopening the public comment period regarding two species of salamanders: the Kern Canyon slender salamander and the relictual slender salamander.
Why it matters: This is an administrative step that extends the timeline for public input before the agency makes a final decision on whether these salamanders receive federal protection and habitat designations.
Who it affects
- Landowners or developers in areas identified as potential critical habitat for these species
