Fish and Wildlife Service Announces Anticipated Decision on Pima County Endangered Species Plan

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has advanced its consideration of Pima County’s request for an Endangered Species Act incidental take permit associated with the Draft Pima County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSCP).

Pima County’s MSCP is a part of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, a 16-year, community-driven conservation planning effort. The Service has determined the MSCP meets the requirements of the Endangered Species Act and is preparing to issue an incidental take permit. A final permit will be issued in 30 days.
