    Simple Explanation

    The Fish and Wildlife Service is checking with people to see what they think about some plans to help protect animals that might be in trouble, and they want to hear thoughts by February 22, 2021. They’ll try to keep comments private but can't promise for sure, and they're using some tricky rules, so it might be hard for everyone to fully understand without extra help.
