Book Description
The 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.

Book Description
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 helps conserve plant & animal species facing extinction as well as their habitats. The Dept. of the Interior delegated its responsibility for the Endangered Species Act to the Fish & Wildlife Service, which established an endangered species program (ESP) within its ecological services program to implement the requirements of the act. This is a review of several aspects of the Service's implementation of the endangered species program. This report provides info. on: (1) how the Service budgets & allocates its ESP funds; & (2) how field office staff spent their time in the ESP in FY 2001. Certain factors were identified that affected the implementation of the endangered species program.

Book Description
"As Secretary of the Interior, implementing the Endangered Species Act was one of my most important, and challenging, responsibilities. All who deal with this complex and critical law need a clear and comprehensive guide to its provisions, interpretation, and implementation. With chapters written by some of the foremost practitioners in the field, the new edition of Endangered Species Act: Law, Policy, and Perspectives is an essential reference for conservationists and the regulated community and the attorneys who represent them."---Bruce Babbbitt, former Secretary of the Interior --

Book Description
The Congress enacted the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to help conserve plant and animal species facing extinction as well as their habitats. The act, as amended, requires the Department of the Interior to identify at-risk species that may be candidates for listing and work to conserve them (candidate conservation); when warranted, list species as threatened or endangered and identify their critical habitat-habitat essential to the species' conservation-that requires special management (listing); work with groups whose proposed projects could harm the listed species to mitigate such harm (consultation); and develop and implement plans to improve the status of listed species until they no longer need protection (recovery). Interior delegated its responsibility for the Endangered Species Act to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), which established an endangered species program within its ecological services program to implement the requirements of the act. The Service, a decentralized agency, is organized into seven regions, each with a regional office managing a number of field offices. Some field staff divide their time between this program and other programs, such as environmental contaminants, carried out by the ecological services field offices. In fiscal year 2001, the Service received $210 million for ecological services, of which $121 million was for the endangered species program. Of the endangered species funding, recovery received $59.8 million, or almost 50 percent, of the program's funds; consultation, $42.8 million; candidate conservation, $7.1 million; listing, $6.3 million; and landowner incentives, $5 million.

Book Description
Protecting endangered and threatened species and restoring them to a secure status in the wild is the primary objective of the endangered species program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior. Responsibilities of the endangered species program include the following: 1) listing, reclassifying, and delisting species under the Endangered Species Act; 2) providing biological opinions to Federal agencies on their activities that may affect listed species; 3) overseeing recovery activities for listed species; 4) providing for the protection of important habitat; 5) providing grants to States to assist with their endangered species conservation efforts. Contents: Program overview -- Program implementation summary -- Endangered Species Act (140K file) -- Map of regions -- Contact information -- Listed species indexes and counts (U.S. and foreign species) -- List and database files for download -- Box score -- State counts -- State lists -- Proposed and candidate species information -- Species recovery -- What's new? -- Frequently asked questions.

Book Description
Endangered Species Recovery presents case studies of prominent species recovery programs in an attempt to explore and analyze their successes, failures, and problems, and to begin to find ways of improving the process. It is the first effort to engage social scientists as well as biologists in a wide-ranging analysis and discussion of endangered species conservation, and provides valuable insight into the policy and implementation framework of species recovery programs. The book features a unique integration of case studies with theory, and provides sound, practical ideas for improving endangered species policy implementation.

Book Description
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted to conserve plant and animal species facing extinction as well as their habitats. The act requires that at-risk species that may be candidates for listing and conservation efforts be identified and listed as threatened or endangered, critical habitat that requires special management be identified, proposed projects that could harm the listed species be mitigated, and plans to improve the status of listed species until they no longer need protection be developed and implemented. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) established an endangered species program within its ecological services program to implement the requirements of the act. The Service budgets separately allocates its endangered species program funds by distinct subcategories corresponding to the program areas of recovery, consultation, candidate conservation, listing, and landowner incentives. The Service maintains these allocations by program area as it distributes funds from headquarters to its regional offices and again as the regional offices distribute funds to their field offices. GAO's survey results showed that in fiscal year 2001, of the total time field staff spent on specific endangered species program activities, consultation accounted for 42 percent and recovery accounted for 28 percent. The remaining 30 percent was spent on candidate conservation, landowner incentives, and listing. These percentages do not reflect the time field staff spent on general endangered species program activities.
