DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe question of whether the Endangered Species Act (ESA) “worksâ€ŗ is an important part of the debate before Congress concerning both its annual appropriations and reauthorization of the Act itself. Information on the species that have been delisted or downlisted from the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants is often cited when judging the ESAâ€TMs success or failure. This report outlines the process and reasons for delisting or downlisting, and summarizes the 27 species delisted due to extinction, recovery, or data revision, and the 22 species that have been downlisted from endangered to threatened status due to stabilized or improving populations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe recovery and delisting of species protected under the Endangered Species Act is the coming fashion and no mistake. This spring many of us followed with interest the nesting trevails of California condors in California and Arizona as the birds endeavored to lay the foundations for a comeback. At the same time, we watched with mixed feelings building pressure to delist gray wolves and the announced delisting of the Aleutian Canada geese. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has committed itself to recovery as the goal for its species protection program. Unfortunately, under the provisions of the law and the logic of politics there is great pressure to measure the success of recovery efforts in terms of species delisting. Recovery may have the power to transform the popular image of the Endangered Species Act from a statute about stopping development into a statute about preserving species. However, only delisting can, in theory, decouple protection of biodiversity from the much maligned business of getting government permits and dealings with federal officials. Like it or not, the common notions of recovery and delisting - bringing species to the point at which they are so numerous and so well distributed in sufficient quantities of perpetually secure habitat that the protections provided by the Endangered Species Act become unnecessary - will not become a realistic aspiration for any significant number of species any time in the foreseeable future. Yet there is political pressure to quot;show resultsquot; by declaring species recovered and removing them from the lists of protected species. Can the federal government emphasize species recovery and delisting in the face of collapsing global ecosystems? The answer, of course, is yes. The real question is how.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a far-reaching law that has sparked intense controversies over the use of public lands, the rights of property owners, and economic versus environmental benefits. In this volume a distinguished committee focuses on the science underlying the ESA and offers recommendations for making the act more effective. The committee provides an overview of what scientists know about extinctionâ€"and what this understanding means to implementation of the ESA. Habitatâ€"its destruction, conservation, and fundamental importance to the ESAâ€"is explored in detail. The book analyzes: Concepts of speciesâ€"how the term "species" arose and how it has been interpreted for purposes of the ESA. Conflicts between species when individual species are identified for protection, including several case studies. Assessment of extinction risk and decisions under the ESAâ€"how these decisions can be made more effectively. The book concludes with a look beyond the Endangered Species Act and suggests additional means of biological conservation and ways to reduce conflicts. It will be useful to policymakers, regulators, scientists, natural-resource managers, industry and environmental organizations, and those interested in biological conservation.
