The Future of Pre-Listing Conservation Programs for Wildlife Conservation --References --IndexNow forty years old, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) remains a landmark act in conservation and one of the world's most comprehensive laws designed to prevent species extinctions and support recovery efforts for imperiled species. A controversial law and often subject to political attack, the ESA is successful overall but not without difficulties. Those who enforce the ESA, for example, struggle to achieve viable recovery goals for many species. At the forefront of challenges is a reactive framework that sometimes leads to perverse incentives and legal battles that strain support and resources. Further, few species have been delisted. Proactive Strategies for Protecting Species explores the perspectives, opportunities, and challenges around designing and implementing pre-listing programs and approaches to species conservation. This volume brings together conservation biologists, economists, private and government stakeholders, and others to create a legal, scientific, sociological, financial, and technological foundation for designing solutions that incentivize conservation action for hundreds of at-risk species-prior to their potential listing under the ESA. This forward-thinking, innovative volume provides a roadmap for designing species conservation programs on the ground so they are effective and take place upstream of regulation, which will contribute to a reduction in lawsuits and other expenses that arise after a species is listed. Proactive Strategies for Species Protection is a guidebook for anyone anywhere interested in designing programs that incentivize environmental stewardship and species conservation.Conservation of natural resourcesUnited Statesamerican government.american politics.american wildlife.at risk species.biology.conservation biologists.conservation.economists.endangered species act.endangered species.environmental stewardship.esa.government stakeholders.innovative.landmark legislation.lawsuits.legal battles.legality.political.politics.pre listing program.private stakeholders.recovery efforts.retrospective.scientists.species conservation.species extinction.wildlife.Conservation of natural resources639.9Donlan Josh C.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787221503321Proactive strategies for protecting species3678530UNINA
