Despite efforts to remove protected status for the Golden-cheeked Warbler, a U.S. District judge upholds protections for the endangered songbird, acknowledging that the science did not support delisting.

We’re thrilled that this cynical attempt to take protection away from the warbler has been stopped.

— Environmental Attorney Ryan Shannon
