PURPOSE:
- To explore barriers the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service face when making a determination and attempting to delist species from the ESA.
BACKGROUND:
- The Endangered Species Act (ESA) provides for the conservation of species endangered or threatened throughout all or a significant portion of their range, and the conservation of the ecosystems on which they depend.
- Approximately 2,258 species are listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA.
- In order for a species to be delisted, threats to the species must be eliminated or controlled, based on several factors including population sizes and trends and the stability of habitat quality and quantity.
