Write your congress persons and ask them to support this bill...its about time the ESA gets updated...

S.347 Endangered Species Listing and Delisting Process Reform Act of 2001

This bill was introduced by Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY) on February 15, 2001and amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). The proposed legislation does not question the intent of the ESA to protect and preserve U.S. wildlife. It seeks to achieve two goals – to make species recovery easier to achieve by improving the listing, recovery planning and delisting processes of the ESA and to ensure this process is effective for local landowners, public land managers, communities and state governments. In addition, the bill is designed to improve the quality of information used to support the listing of a species. It will require the Secretary of the Interior to use scientific or commercial data which is “empirical, field tested and peer-reviewed.” The bill will allow states to be active participants in the listing process of a species and will also provide the public a more substantial role. This bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
