Message From: Sent: To: Subject: Gordon, Robert [Robert.Gordon@heritage.org] 4/19/2018 6:13:02 PM Gordon, Robert [Robert.Gordon@heritage.org] Invitation: Saving "Endangered" Species or Regulating with Bad Data (April 25) Saving "Endangered" Species or Regulating with Bad Data Featuring Rob Roy Ramey, Ph.D. Wildlife Biologist Jonathan Wood, Esq. Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation D.C. Center Rob Gordon Visiting Senior Fellow, The Heritage Foundation Hosted by Becky Norton Dunlop Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow, The Heritage Foundation, and former Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks, U.S. Department of the Interior The Endangered Species Act (ESA) will reach the half century milestone in several years and yet, many of the relatively few species that have supposedly "recovered" because of the law were, in reality, never endangered. Similarly, many species now regulated under the ESA were put on the list using erroneous data. The law's problems are both in the way it is written and implemented and have made it so contentious that it has not been reauthorized in several decades. Federally regulated species can impose substantial burdens on private property owners and create huge conflicts in federal land management. This is true even when the data used to proclaim them endangered is erroneous which wastes scarce conservation resources.
