A ruling that California bumblebees can be protected as a type of fish could allow a broad range of insects to be eyed for endangered species status.
In a move that could allow a broad range of insects to be considered for endangered species status, the California Supreme Court found that bumblebees can be protected under the law as a type of fish.
Cantil-Sakauye also warned against misconstruing the decision as"an affirmative determination by this court that under the law, bumblebees are fish.""We are elated with the California Supreme Court decision," said Sarina Jepsen, endangered species director with the Xerxes Society for Invertebrate Conservation."Now, some of California's most endangered pollinators may be saved from extinction.
The controversy does not involve scientifically cultured honeybees that California's agricultural communities depend on to pollinate and produce a third of the nation's vegetables and most of the world's almonds. The commission argued, however, that a separate section of the state fish and game code defines fish to include"wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, or amphibian."In 2021, the Stanford Environmental Law Clinic intervened on behalf of the petitioners, who appealed.
