0011 - Dissecting the Endangered Species Act, Part 2: Nuts and Bolts of Listings




Your Mountain show

Summary: In Part 2 of a 3 part series, Dave, Mike and Nephi get a little wonky talking about about how the Endangered Species Act operates. The guys discuss the process of listing and delisting species, candidate species, public participation in the process, and some of the other things the Fish and Wildlife Service must do under the Act. This episode draws upon the Part 1 discussion about why the Act was passed, and sets up Part 3 that will cover proposed changes to the law. Get ready for a crash course in the ESA.
