Description
Summary:This Comment provides a comprehensive analysis of state endangered species laws and state funding to implement the federal ESA. It suggests that increased coordination between the states and federal agencies regarding the protection and recovery of threatened and endangered species has some benefits, and opportunities for partnerships between states and the federal government may enhance species protection. However, a close analysis of current state laws and state-level experience reveals that conservation laws in most states are inadequate to achieve the ESA’s conservation and recovery goals.
