Colorado River Cutthroat "Not Endangered"

June 15, 2007 By: Marshall Cutchin

“The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declined to give the Colorado River cutthroat trout federal protection Wednesday, ending an eight-year debate over one of only three trout species native to Colorado.” Conservations argue that researchers are just doing a better job of finding Colorado River cutthroat populations, but the USFWS says that the fish is in no danger of extinction.
