Fern Davies Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Full notice attached. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), on 24 January 2012, announced a 90-day finding on a petition to list the `i'iwi (Vestiaria coccinea) as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), and designate critical habitat.
