"This is a constructive, bipartisan effort to update a 30-year-old law which has increasingly slowed the recovery of endangered species.   By encouraging greater involvement between land owners and environmentalists, it is my hope that we can minimize litigation and enhance recovery."

Sen. Blanche Lincoln D-AR

 

 

About CRESA

What S. 2110 would do

The Collaboration for the Recovery of the Endangered Species Act (S. 2110, CRESA) was introduced by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo and Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln on December 15, 2005.   The bill focuses on additional participation by landowners and states to recover species. CRESA promotes incentives such as tax breaks and conservation banking provisions (an innovative market program that allows landowners to profit from conservation efforts through use of conservation credits.)

S. 2110 encourages voluntary conservation efforts and partnerships between landowners, conservationists, local, state and federal agencies. Additionally, CRESA allows the federal government to prioritize its resources to get funding to the species most in need, while incorporating local input on recovery plans and species recovery teams.
