Frog to be reviewed as endangered species

Washington, D.C. — The California red-legged frog is getting a second look from Bush administration officials who now acknowledge politics may have trumped science in earlier endangered species decisions.
In an extraordinary and apparently unprecedented move, the Fish and Wildlife Service said it will review how the agency handled eight endangered species decisions going back several years. Officials fear former Deputy Assistant Secretary Julie A. MacDonald may have twisted policy to please private interests.
The new reviews will reopen some intensely fought endangered species battles. They range from removing protections for a jumping mouse in Colorado to shrinking the critical habitat designed for the Southwestern willow flycatcher and the Canada lynx.

Read “The Republican War on Science” by Chris Mooney for a detailed account of the ideologically-driven dismissal of science by this administration.
