| What's At Risk? |
 |
On Sept. 29, 2005 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act (TESRA) with bi-partisan support – an important step towards the reform of our nation’s most powerful, yet controversial, environmental law. But without similar reforms from the Senate, ESA will continue as a flawed, expensive and ineffective law. Activists, litigation and judges have expanded the provisions of the Act beyond the original intent of Congress, hurting landowners, farmers, tax-payers and consumers. Modest changes can prevent these problems and protect species. |
