Hawks vs. Housing in California | San Jose News
Description
A homebuilders group is pushing to delist the Swainson’s hawk from California’s threatened species list, arguing its rebound population and protected status unfairly block housing development. But conservationists warn that critical nesting areas—some slated for major new projects—are still under threat, even as the bird’s numbers climb. The state Fish and Game Commission must decide by September 8th whether to investigate further, with a full review taking up to 18 months. This case could reshape how future construction and wildlife protections collide.
