Abstract

The Service proposes eight additional areas as critical habitat in Kansas, Montana, Nebraska. North Dakota, and South Dakota for the endangered whooping crane (Grus americana) to those areas already determined to be critical habitat as published in the FEDERAL REGISTER of May 15, 1978 (43 FR 20938). If finalized, this rule would provide Federal protection of these areas under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and will further assure the conservation of the whooping crane.
