Several iconic local species stand to benefit from a letter sent to Congress on Tuesday asking that the federal budget for endangered species protections be more than doubled for Fiscal Year 2022, from last year s $291.7 million to $592.1 million. 170 different environmental groups signed on to the request, which was led by the Center for Biological Diversity. They say that $592.1 million is the sum needed to make up for lost ground and address the threat of climate change to biodiversity.   The Endangered Species Act is one of the best tools we have to stem the current wildlife extinction crisis, yet it has been chronically underfunded for decades, the letter begins. While Congress provided a modest increase for the [U.S. Fish and Wildlife] Service in Fiscal Year 2021, it fell woefully short of what is required to meet the needs of our most imperiled animals and plants.
