The proposed rule provides for the reintroduction of up to 150 northern aplomado falcons annually for ten or more years into New Mexico under a non-essential experimental designation. Such a designation would remove nearly all Endangered Species Act protections for both wild falcons which currently exist in New Mexico, as well as reintroduced falcons and their progeny.
