Description
Summary:The Endangered Species Act (ESA, 1973) spells out specific threats to endangered species, including habitat loss, overexploitation, disease or predation, insufficient regulatory mechanisms, and other natural or manmade factors. Recovery plans and their components are mandatory for listed species. Of the 13 subspecies of inland cuthroat trout, two are extinct and three are listed under the ESA. This assessment of recovery potential critically evaluates the limitations of the Contemporary Recovery Paradigm, and an alternative Proposed Conservation Paradigm.
