USFWS Delays Long-Eared Bat Regulations
Posted On
January 25, 2023
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has postponed the effective date for the reclassification of the northern long-eared bat from threatened to endangered status under the Endangered Species Act to March 31. This will allow USFWS to prepare conservation tools and guidance and give landowners more time to prepare for the change.
