The Buena Vista Lake ornate shrew is being benefited by a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity. In 2004, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed 4,649 acres of "critical habitat" for the shrew, but this was reduced to merely 84 acres a year later, said Ileene Anderson, a spokeswoman for the environmental group. The lawsuit re-proposes the original 4,649 acres for shrew habitat.
