    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the Peñasco least chipmunk, a mammal found in New Mexico, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. Approximately 4,386 acres in Lincoln County, New Mexico, have been designated as critical habitat for the chipmunk. This decision aims to provide protections against threats such as habitat loss, disease, and small population size. Certain areas, including parts managed by the Mescalero Apache Tribe, have been excluded from the critical habitat designation to maintain effective partnerships and recognize tribal management of their lands.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to protect a special kind of chipmunk in New Mexico by calling it endangered, making sure its home is safe, but leaving out some parts owned by a Native American tribe to work nicely together.

    The Bureau of Land Management of the Interior Department has issued an order to extend the protection of 140 acres of land in Lincoln County, New Mexico, for an additional 20 years. This extension is to continue safeguarding the Gallinas Peak and West Turkey Cone Electronic Sites from mining activities. Originally enacted on February 17, 2005, the order exempts these areas from being claimed under U.S. mining laws to ensure the electronic sites are preserved. The land's boundaries and purpose remain unchanged, and the order will need review before renewing it again in 20 years.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management is keeping 140 acres of forest land in New Mexico safe from mining for another 20 years to protect special places with electronic equipment. They decided this so the area stays safe, just like it has been since 2005.
