View Rule

The Forest Service is proposing modifications to FSM 2670, Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive (TES) Plants and Animals. The proposed directive would set forth direction to ensure compliance with existing laws, regulations, and agency policies; and to reflect current conservation biology, knowledge, management practices, and emerging ecosystem and TES species-related topics and issues. The changes to FSM 2670 are expected to provide more effective guidance to agency personnel regarding the Endangered Species Act and its regulations, the 2000 National Forest Management Act planning regulations, and agency strategies and policies on all aspects of conservation management for at-risk species and their habitats.
