Woodpecker protections loosened amid recovery progress
Federal officials propose downlisting the red cockaded woodpecker from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act with a 60 day public comment period. The group’s numbers have grown from about 1,470 breeding pairs in the late 1970s to roughly 7,800 clusters, aided by habitat restoration and guardian programs across longleaf pines in coastal states. Fort Benning Georgia hosts the announcement alongside other installations as conservation efforts continue.
