This is where I get to say what is on my mind.

I think US Fish and Wildlife can do better. Currently, they are in a holding pattern for many species because of habitat loss. There are, however, some species that are ready to increase their populations by obtaining additional habitat. 

All President Obama has to do is issue an order to US Fish and Wildlife to assess the endangered and threatened species in their jurisdictions for additional habitat. There is potential for many of these species to survive in habitat not currently available to them either due to urban sprawl and population pressure or because the habitat has changed due to the Climate Crisis. 

I strongly urge President Obama to encourage US Fish and Wildlife to stop being the equivalent of zookeepers to wildlife or curators to plants. They need to add a simple paradigm to any species of plant or animal listed; "Explore increasing habitat whenever possible."

Thank you. I know for a fact it will make a huge difference.
