The following excerpt is from Alliance For The Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, D.C. No.9:09-cv-00107-DWM, No. 09-35756 (9th Cir. 2010):

we have held that the public interest in preserving nature and avoiding irreparable environmental injury outweighs economic concerns in cases where plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their underlying claim."). "The public interest analysis for the issuance of a preliminary injunction requires us to consider whether there exists some critical public interest that would be injured by the grant of preliminary relief."
