New Deal With Mining Company To Protect Rare Nevada Plant

By SCOTT SONNER Associated Press
An Australian mining company has agreed to a moratorium on new activities at a planned lithium mine in Nevada in exchange for conservationists dropping a lawsuit to protect a rare desert wildflower.
 
The Center for Biological Diversity filed notice in federal court in Nevada Friday that it's withdrawing its lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking a ban on all development at the site as a result of the new agreement with Ioneer USA Corp. Center leaders filed an emergency petition in October to list Tiehm's buckwheat as an endangered species.
 
They say it doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
