"The Department of the Interior has announced significant action to better
facilitate species recovery by providing more flexibility for the introduction
of threatened and endangered species to suitable habitats outside their
historical ranges. This announcement helps to advance President Biden’s America
the Beautiful initiative, which supports healthy wildlife and wildlife habitat
by supporting voluntary, locally led conservation efforts across the country.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has finalized revisions to section 10(j)
regulations under the Endangered Species Act that will help improve the
conservation and recovery of imperiled ESA-listed species in the coming
decades, as growing impacts from climate change and invasive species cause
habitats within species’ historical ranges to shift or become unsuitable. The
prior regulations restricted the reintroduction of experimental populations to
only the species’ historical range except under extreme conditions."
