Bonneville Cutthroat Trout Listing

Earthjustice filed a lawsuit on behalf of several conservation organizations after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) initially refused to extend Endangered Species Act protections to the Bonneville cutthroat trout, which has lost 90 percent of its range.

• In 2002, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declined to extend protection for the Bonneville cutthroat trout under the Endangered Species Act, even though the species had been eliminated from 90 percent of its range because of hybridization from non-native trout, predation, and habitat degradation.
• Following a lawsuit filed by Earthjustice on behalf of the Pacific Rivers Council, the Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, and the Center for Biological Diversity, the FWS announced in October 2007 that it would reverse its previous decision and consider adding the Bonneville cutthroat trout to the Endangered Species List.
