U.S. wildlife officials have declared a Nevada wildflower endangered at the only place it’s known to exist on a high-desert ridge where a lithium mine is planned to help meet growing demand for electric car batteries.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has formally listed Tiehm’s buckwheat and its accompanying area of 910 acres for the 6-inch-tall flower with yellow blooms.
Ioneer, the Australian mining company that is planning to dig for lithium where the flower grows, said that it has developed a protection plan which will allow the plant and the project to coexist.
