The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the Borax Lake chub (Gila boraxobius), a fish native to Oregon, from the Endangered Species List, a final rule said. Threats to the species have been “eliminated or reduced to the point where it no longer meets the definition of an endangered or a threatened species,” FWS said. The delisting takes effect July 13, 2020.
