A coalition of Utah and Colorado environmental groups claims federal 
agencies ignored science in reversing a decision to list a Utah plant as a 
threatened species.

overturn a decision to deny Endangered Species Act protection to a 
wildflower they say is threatened by energy development in the Uinta 
Basin.
