Our whole nation benefits from the preservation of natural
habitats and their diversity of animal and plant species--yet small
groups of private landowners often bear most of the costs of
setting land aside for conservation purposes. This imbalance has
generated many conflicts since the passage of the Endangered
Species Act in 1973 and remains one of the most controversial
issues to be resolved as the ESA makes its way through Congress for
reauthorization.
To provide policy makers, landowners, and other stakeholders in
the ESA debates with impartial baseline information, this book
offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the role that private
property plays in protecting endangered species in the United
States. The opening chapter traces the evolution of the ESA and set
forth the parameters of the debate over regulation of private
property. Four subsequent chapters explore the judicial and
economic implications of ESA and suggest how issues of scale and
diversity affect the implementation of the ESA on private property.
The volume concludes with eight principles to help frame the
ongoing ESA reauthorization debate, developed by the University of
Wyoming's Institute for Environment and Natural Resources Policy
Board, the sponsor of the research presented in this book.
