Summary:

Legal scholars and environmental scientists explore the 1973 Endangered Species Act's failings and propose a wide range of possible avenues for reform. Among the topics are the failure of regulation on private land, protecting ecosystems through revaluing conservation easements, protecting species by protecting water rights, the use and abuse of science, adapting the Act to the reality of climate change, and the impact of the Act on international conservation efforts.
