   WASHINGTON (February 12, 1998 10:30 a.m. EST http://www.nando.net) --
   The American lynx will now be protected as an endangered species by
   the Interior Department following a settlement between the department
   and environmentalists.
   
   Rodger Schlickeisen, president of the Defenders of Wildlife, said
   Wednesday the settlement reached with the Justice Department and the
   U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will propose listing the lynx as
   endangered within the contiguous 48 states by June 30. A final listing
   decision is not due to June 1999.
   


1: thank god it's only in America.
2: the justice dept is finally useful for SOMETHING
   (although aren't they well known for stealing
    software?)
