The San Carlos Apache Tribe is asking a federal judge for permission to join a suit seeking to return Endangered Species Act protections to Arizona's bald eagles.
A federal judge ruled in October that desert nesting bald eagles can be removed from the lists. The Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson then filed a lawsuit to keep about 200 desert bald eagles protected.
The government does not consider Arizona’s eagles to be separate from those elsewhere in the nation. They were declared no longer endangered in 2007.
The San Carlos Apache Tribe says that the eagles are fundamental to their religion.
