The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and officials Brian Nesvik and Doug Burgum, citing violations of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The case, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, alleges that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service failed to issue a timely 90-day finding on a petition to list the gray cat’s eye as an endangered species. This delay is claimed to hinder necessary protections for the plant, which is facing extinction due to habitat loss and other threats. The plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to compel the agency to act promptly.
