Center for Biological Diversity: Judge Says Army Plan Fails to Protect San Pedro River, Endangered Species
The U.S. Forest Service will start removing about 400 feral horses near Alpine to protect the land and endangered species in the area. The horses are about 4.5 hours east of Phoenix in the White Mountains near the New Mexico border.
The recovery plan included three main objectives: to ensure there is adequate habitat for the mouse, its populations stabilize and grow and to mitigate threats to the species.
A new report from the Utah Rivers Council argues Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, which make up the Upper Colorado River Basin, are using more water than they are allowed under the Colorado River Compact, an agreement among states dating back to 1922 that essentially divvies up the water in the river.
Utah, Colorado and New Mexico may already be using more water than is legally allowed, the report suggests, signaling potential cuts to come.
