This is the first of two episodes on the potential Canada lynx delisting in the Lower 48 states.  I cover the recent news about the potential delisting, and go over the background and history of the Endangered Species Act, and how it relates to Canada lynx, with an emphasis on my home state of Maine, and its impact on trappers.  Enjoy!
