Controlled propagation

[Anne Kilmer]

CONTROLLED PROPAGATION POLICY IS PUBLISHED BY U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE
               SERVICE AND NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE

The Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
Commerce
Department's National Marine Fisheries Service today issued a joint
policy
on controlled propagation, providing guidance and consistency in
programs
that involve captive, or controlled, reproduction of endangered and
threatened animals and plants.

The policy supports the controlled propagation of threatened and
endangered
species when recommended in recovery plans developed under the
Endangered
Species Act and when efforts to recover species or reduce threats to
populations in the wild are insufficient.

so ... y'all will be wanting to make sure this goes well, as it would
solve quite a few annoying problems. Like what happens to the backyard
butterfly gardener when the Schaus swallowtail favors his plantings.
