About the Book

It has become clear that the noble goals embodied in the Endangered Species Act are colliding with financial and social realities. Citizens increasingly face the cost of policies (for example gnat catchers in Southern California and grizzly bears in Idaho and Montana). In general, policies which fail to respect liberty and property meet serious resistence. While there is widespread verbal support for saving species "at any cost", when trade-offs become obvious, the values compete, support for these policies evaporates. The editors of this book believe it is ethically and materially irresponsible to pretend this reality away. This book provides some insights from several disciplines, then offers modest constructive reforms that may increase the effectiveness and viability of endangered species protection.

Table of Contents:
Part I Thinking about endangered species: saving space for species - the conservation challenge for the 21st century; science and values in species protection; models or muddles? property rights and the Endangered Species Act; surprise, surprise - who should bear nature's risk?. Part II Specific cases: the single species - the efficient focus for biodiversity protection; with or without the ESA, can America make a place for the grizzly bear?; the power to conserve - the Edwards Dam and its impact on endangered species; management of Columbia River salmon under the Endangered Species Act - environmental engineering for a dysfunctional ecosystem. Part III Reform: a public health model for species preservation; balancing business interests and endangered species protection; fixing the Endangered Species Act.
