How Can I Help? 4 Real Ways Citizens Shape Wildlife Protection

Read Full Citizen Action Guide →
1

Comment on Open Rules

Under federal law (5 U.S.C. § 553), agencies must read and answer substantive public comments before finalizing species rules. Every notice on this site links directly to its official federalregister.gov docket.

2

Contribute Local Sightings to 90-Day Reviews

6 notices in our dataset are 90-Day Citizen Petition Reviews (such as Coastal Chinook Salmon and Atlantic Horseshoe Crab), where agencies ask residents and naturalists for local range and habitat data.

3

Respect Local Critical Habitat & Closures

Notices designate critical rivers and seasonal closures, from river basins to public lands, so imperiled wildlife can breed and recover.

4

Join Public CITES Treaty Hearings

Before global wildlife trade summits (CITES CoP20), the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service holds public meetings and invites citizen recommendations on international species protections.
