Description

I address whether the new Administration will impact the Endangered Species Act. In general, the regulations under the Act have not changed and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will continue operating under the same statutory and regulatory framework as in the past. We focus on making the act work better and are working on a strategic plan to 1) focus species recovery actions strategically and 2) to avoid the need to list species by conserving them. Also addressed in this paper is climate change and its impacts on wildlife and its habitats.
