Federal wildlife officials have agreed to conduct a year-long review to determine whether a tiny snail found only in high-desert springs near a huge lithium mine being built along the Nevada-Oregon line should be listed as a threatened or endangered species.

Environmentalists are poised to return to court in an ongoing legal battle with the Biden administration over a Nevada lithium mine.
