“American bumblebees — Once among the most common and widespread bumblebees, American bumblebees were found in open areas across all of the lower 48 states except Washington. After a severe decline starting in the 2000s, this iconic bumblebee has disappeared from at least eight states” biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/lawsuit-seeks-endangered-species-act-protection-decisions-for-american-bumblebee-three-other-bees-2024-04-01/#:~:text=American%20bumblebees%20%E2%80%94…Oh we don’t have enough resources to do our job boohoohoo. Bumblebee decline didn’t come out of nowhere. It didn’t happen yesterday. Just like the National Park service taking a year to look up pesticide information.
They cannot be so ignorant and clueless that they had no expectation that requests to protect our bees or to find out what toxins are being sprayed would be made in this day and age.
The CBD had to sue the “service” for the information that the u.s. fish & wildlife service was legally _required_ to provide. Yet the nps and us fish and wildlife claim that it just takes too much effort from them. Crying big crocodile tears: they would if they just had more money … to pay executive salaries. Your tax money funds the lawyers for the us fish and wildlife services lawbreaking. Just like FOIA there are no penalties.
Our tired, old, legacy environmental groups (sierra club, audubon, and world wildlife fund have been complicit with this behavior for decades. Our tired old legacy environmental groups (OTOLEG😀) have been pesticide enablers for 60 years. It is time to put your action where your mouth is. Three easy things.
How much do these supervisors, managers, superintendent’s make? How much is their budget? I get wonderful, _helpful_, and virtually immediate responses from California Fish And Game, (who; by the way are working to put several bumblebee species on California’s endangered species list) California Department Of Pesticide Regulation, the Center For Biological Diversity, and several agriculture commissioners. These people who care and who do their best. I do not get decent responses from (OTOLEG😀) Just like sierra club and audubon senior staff, the us fish and wildlife service and the national park service seem to have the same senior staff and management problems that Boeing has. What do you think those problems are?
Rethink where you spend your environmental dollar!
