Endangered species are more at risk under Bush:

"Federal officials have added an average of 9.5 species a year to the endangered list under Mr Bush, compared with 65 a year under Bill Clinton and 59 a year under George Bush snr. They have designated as 'critical habitat' only half the land area recommended by federal biologists. And they are transferring key decision-making powers from the US Fish and Wildlife Service to other agencies with different priorities.

Under this approach, federal officials have focused more on providing incentives to private landowners to protect the habitats of endangered species than on prohibiting human activity on those lands."
