Abstract:
A comprehensive guide to the US Endangered Species Act (1973). In passing the Act, Congress resolved to put an end to decades of neglect that had resulted in the extinction of such species as the passenger pigeon and the Carolina parakeet, and the near extinction of the bison. This book guides the reader through the Act's most important provisions, including: the species listing procedure; the directions for protection of listed species; critical habitat designations; the prohibition of takes; efforts at international cooperation; requirements for federal agencies; procedure for bringing suit; relevant case history; and interpretive controversies. This second edition updates the material, adds a new section on Habitat Conservation Plans, expands the section on international endangered species protections and examines the possibility of a congressional reauthorization of the Act. The book concludes with the text of the act and a bibliography of related legislative materials, case law, and legal scholarship.
