Footnote 4

The "jeopardy opinions," issued by USFWS in its role as one of the managers of the Endangered Species Act, declared that Fort Stewart's actions would be expected to "reduce appreciably the likelihood of both the survival and recovery of a listed species in the wild by reducing the reproduction, numbers, or distribution of that species." The federal agency, as a consultative service on endangered species matters, also can issue declarations of "no jeopardy."
