§ 2055 State Agency Species Conservation

• •All state agencies have to work to protect endangered and threatened species.
• •They must use any power they have to help the goals of this chapter.
• •It’s a policy statement guiding how agencies act on wildlife protection.

A state park office learns that a rare frog lives in a wetland that a new road is planned to cross.

Because the law says the agency must try to conserve endangered species, the park office would work to change the road plan or add protections so the frog isn’t harmed.
