To remove certain species from the lists of threatened species and endangered species published pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

Summary

Eliminates Endangered Species Act listings for seven named non‑U.S. species and creates a categorical bar that prevents the Secretary from listing the Bukharan markhor as threatened or endangered under the ESA. The change narrows the Secretary’s authority to add that markhor to the federal threatened/endangered lists and removes statutory ESA protections previously applied to the seven named species. The measures affect how the federal government treats import, export, permitting, and other ESA‑based protections for those species, with likely impacts on conservation groups, researchers, federal wildlife officials, and regulated parties involved in trade, captive care, or international programs.

• Seven named non‑U.S. species are removed from the ESA threatened/endangered lists.
• The bill inserts a statutory prohibition preventing the Secretary from listing the Bukharan markhor under the ESA.
• The change narrows the Secretary’s listing authority for that markhor, creating a categorical exclusion.
• Removing species from the ESA list ends ESA‑based protections and related permitting requirements for those species.
• Other laws and international agreements (e.g., CITES, foreign law, Lacey Act) remain separate and may still affect trade or protection.
• Primary actors affected include USFWS staff, conservation NGOs, researchers, zoos, and parties engaged in international trade of these species.
• No new funding, tax changes, appropriations, or emergency designations are included.
• The provision could prompt litigation or international policy consequences because U.S. listing status influences conservation incentives and enforcement.
