  • The Texas agriculture commissioner criticized a proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to extend federal protections to the monarch butterflies who migrate across North America. The wildlife service released the proposal Thursday for a 90-day public input period.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has criticized a proposal by U.S. wildlife officials to list the monarch butterfly under the Endangered Species Act, arguing that it would impose burdensome regulations on landowners and farmers. Miller contends that the listing would not effectively address the decline in monarch populations and could instead lead to economic hardship for agricultural communities. He suggests that voluntary conservation efforts, like those already undertaken by Texas landowners, are more practical and effective for protecting the species. Miller's comments reflect broader concerns about the implications of federal wildlife protection measures on local economies and land use practices.
