SUIT CHALLENGES DESTRUCTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES PRESERVE
The Center for Biological Diversity and San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society will soon file suit to stop a land exchange that will eliminate a 1,170-acre endangered species reserve on the March Air Reserve Base. The March Preserve supports one of the last, best populations of the endangered Stephens’ kangaroo rat. It was established as a permanent mitigation site for a highway expansion in 1990, and in 1996 was incorporated into the Long-term Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan. Now developers want to destroy it too, with federal and local “conservation” agencies happy to approve the destruction.
