- Title
ONE BIRD CAUSING A BIG CONFLICT: CAN CONSERVATION AGREEMENTS KEEP SAGE GROUSE OFF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST?
- Authors
Fugate, Kristina
- Abstract
The article discusses the efforts made by the U.S. federal government agency Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to avoid listing the bird sage grouse under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973. It mentions that FWS used a conservation agreement (CA) that is a formal agreement between the listing agency and another party to avoid listing the bird in ESA. It also discusses the doubts with which the courts have viewed CAs and reflects that CAs are too uncertain to substitute for the ESA.
