Show Notes
The lesser prairie chicken, a bird known for its dancing displays, has lost its federal endangered species protections across five prairie states. Despite a population of around thirty thousand, down from historical estimates in the millions, the birds habitat has shrunk by ninety percent. Energy producers and ranchers celebrate the decision, citing property rights and economic impacts, while environmental groups argue it risks extinction. The future of these prairie dancers remains uncertain as appeals head to the Fifth Circuit Court.
