Agenda Item Text:
Approve the comments recommended by the Public Lands Advisory Committee (PLAC) for the "Draft Recovery Plan for the Mexican Spotted Owl: First Revision" to be sent in a letter with Chairman Call's signature.
Background:
On March 16, 1993, the FWS listed the Mexican spotted owl as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, and designated critical habitat on August 31, 2004. The Fish & Wildlife Service originally completed and announced a recovery plan for the Mexican spotted owl on October 16, 1995. However, updates on status information and experience in implementing the original recovery plan led to the FWS’s determination that revision is warranted, and in June 2011 released the Draft Recovery Plan which focuses on protecting existing populations, managing threats, monitoring population trends and habitat, and building partnerships to facilitate recovery.
