Chuck D. Species Quotations

The question I would ask is: Would you consider listing the species today? Most rational people say no.

A critical mass is developing of people who are now aware of the problems that the existing Endangered Species Act imposes on landowners and communities and understands that it's counterproductive to recovering species.

This is a tough problem, and there is no simple answer or smoking gun. More likely, there are multiple causes, and they may vary from species to species.
