| Denver, CO — Today, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced that the Greater sage grouse does not need endangered species protection, thanks to unprecedented wildlife conservation efforts made here in Colorado and across 10 other western states. Colorado Senate Democrats released the following statements in response to this exciting news:Senator Kerry Donovan (D-5) “This incredibly important decision made by the U.S. Department of the Interior speaks volumes about the tremendous work being done by locals in Colorado to save the Greater sage grouse. While this is by no means the end of our efforts to protect our beautiful lands and wildlife, this is a milestone that shows we are making great progress. As a resident of the High Country — where protecting our public lands and native wildlife is a top priority for everyone — I am very pleased by this decision.” Senator Lucia Guzman (D-34)
