Endangered cats gain habitat along lower Rio Grande
A settlement in Washington ends a lawsuit by Sierra Club and Audubon groups against the IBWC. The decree requires environmental studies and Fish and Wildlife consultations to assess brush clearing on a 34 mile stretch downstream from Brownsville. The groups say habitat for ocelots and jaguarundis has been erased. The IBWC says mowing prevents floods and will now be studied for safety alternatives. Vegetation along the river will increase in the meantime.
