Question

The following sentence is taken from a U.S. Bureau of Land Management publication. The sentence is discussing a new manual that the BLM published to set guidelines for handling endangered species (fish, animals, etc.) in the wild. Revise the sentence by eliminating jargon, simplifying expressions, and using general English. The BLM's special status species policies set forth the procedures by which these species will be managed to ensure their recovery or promote their conservation so that protections afforded under the ESA or BLM policy are no longer warranted.

Answer 1

The BLM seeks to create procedures to protect certain species to ensure their recovery and to promote their conservation. This is to occur so that in the future ESA and BLM policies are no longer needed to protect these species. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The Bureau of Land Management's special status species policies establish the processes by which these species will be regulated to make sure they are able to recover and to promote their conservation so that the protections given to them are no longer needed.

Explanation:

Official documents are often written in a way that makes them difficult to understand. This is because such publications need to use formal language, specific titles and very precise words. However, this type of language, and particularly the use of jargon, can make them unaccessible to the general population. By simplifying them, we ensure that a wider audience can benefit from this knowledge.
