Proposed listing under the endangered species act
Is this the same species that is currently being petetioned for listing under the endangered species act in the United States?
This is the current reference to which I refer: [1].
I don't understand how it could go from least concern as it is listed here to a petetion for endangered if it is the same species or is there another species called the Gull-billed tern? 68.111.246.29 (talk) 20:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- The petition refers only to the western population/subspecies, not to the US population as a whole, which is not at risk. Also, the "least concern" is the bird's global status, not its US status. This is a common breeding species in warm parts of Asia, Africa and Europe. jimfbleak (talk) 05:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
