(1º§) The ivory-billed woodpecker, along with 22 other species of birds, fish, mussels and other wildlife, is set to be declared extinct and removed from the endangered species list, US wildlife officials announced Wednesday.
(2º§) "For the species proposed for delisting today, the protections of the (Endangered Species Act) came too late, with most either extinct, functionally extinct, or in steep decline at the timing of listing," the US Fish and Wildlife Service said.
(3º§) "The circumstances of each also underscore how human activity can drive species decline and extinction, by contributing to habitat loss, overuse and the introduction of invasive species and disease. The growing impacts of climate change are anticipated to further exacerbate these threats and their interactions," the wildlife agency said.
(4º§) Interior Secretary Deb Haaland underscored that while a variety of specific factors contributed to each species' demise, "the story arc is essentially the same - humans altered their habitat in a significant way, and we couldn't or didn't do enough to ultimately change the trajectory before it was too late."
(5º§) But the interior secretary suggested the extinction of these species can be a "wake-up call" for humans to take action to prevent extinction and protect biodiversity.
(6º§) "With climate change and natural area loss pushing more and more species to the brink, now is the time to lift up proactive, collaborative, and innovative efforts to save America's wildlife," Haaland said Wednesday in a statement. "The Endangered Species Act has been incredibly effective at preventing species from going extinct and has also inspired action to conserve at-risk species and their habitat before they need to be listed as endangered or threatened.
(7º§) "We will continue to ensure that states, Tribes, private landowners, and federal agencies have the tools they need to conserve America's biodiversity and natural heritage."
