Abstract

This Article aims to take stock of the [Endangered Species Act] ESA’s success and failures during its first fifty years, particularly with regard to the conservation of species habitat on private land. While the ESA authorizes powerful regulatory tools for species conservation, there are serious questions as to whether such tools are the most effective means of conserving species and the habitats on which they rely. Given that most species rely upon private land for their survival, the ESA’s ability to foster private land conservation will affect the law’s overall success.
