How is the 2nd draft revision likely to differ from its predecessor?
A4: In this revision, the Services will identify and consider new information and important conservation and recovery activities that have been undertaken since the 1992 plan was approved. Additionally, great care will be taken in this revision to provide what we believe are “objective, measurable criteria” that, when met, would result in a determination that the species be removed from the list of threatened and endangered species. Most importantly this version of the recovery team will not only be developed bi-nationally with Mexico, but it will be approved and signed by the Directora General de Vida Silvestre, Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales along with National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
