Thank you. So here's the last time the Endangered Species act was reauthorized right here, and that was about, what, 40 million acres, or 30 million acres of critical habitat. Since it failed to be reauthorized, then expired, we've got 250 million acres of critical habitat. Now, a good chunk of that I know is that 10% of California's land area that is designated the fairy shrimp critical habitat. Fairy shrimp and vernal pool critical habitat. (03:08–03:16)
