I don't get it either. If you read page 8 of this document, they are conceding that "much of the known habitat of gray-banded kingsnake occurs within CCNP (Carlsbad Caverns National Park) and Guadalupe Mountains National Park and is therefore unavailable for resource extraction". There, resource extraction was referring to oil and gas extraction, livestock grazing, or silviculture, but presumably it applies to the known free-ranging populations of alterna as well. They did the same thing with triaspis on the extreme southwestern corner of New Mexico, but over there, the populations are not otherwise protected from collection by national park sytems. All I can say is crap-o-la, baby.
