Summary: The Center for Biological Diversity supports the proposed listing of the southern hognose snake as a threatened species and the implementation of a strong Section 4(d) rule. They argue that commercial activities, particularly captive breeding and trade, pose significant threats to the species and advocate for swift finalization of protections and critical habitat designation.
