Arizona's state fish, the Apache Trout, is removed from the Endangered Species List after 50 years of recovery efforts.
The Apache Trout, Arizona's state fish, has been removed from the Endangered Species List after more than 50 years of conservation efforts. This success, announced by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, marks the first time a sport fish and trout species has been delisted due to recovery. Collaborative efforts involved habitat restoration and the removal of non-native fish, supported by funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Conservation will continue to ensure population sustainability.
