Center for Biological Diversity v. Jewell

The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the District of Columbia seeking to require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to making required findings regarding the listing of nine species under the Endangered Species Act. The nine species include the San Bernardino flying squirrel, which the Center for Biological Diversity alleged was threatened by climate change’s adverse impacts to its mixed-conifer, black-oak forest habitat.
