Unanimous Supreme Court rules USFWS can’t designate potential habitat as ESA “critical habitat”
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered a federal appeals court to take a new look at a fight over private land in Louisiana that’s been designated a critical habitat for a tiny frog.
In an 8-0 ruling, the court said the Endangered Species Act allows the government to designate private land as “critical habitat” for endangered species only if it is a habitat for species.
