The current ESA is…

The current ESA is functioning very well to protect species and especially habitat. It is short sighted to believe that only the 'animal' and its immediate vicinity of a nest den is adequate protection. the critical elements that are used for life cycle [birth, forage, denning, staging, migration, hide areas, rearing, etc] are as critical or more so than merely a nest site. It is also unconsciousable to believe that humans once they have a registry number to follow the rules or even understand what they are to protect. It is too late after the fact to hear 'sorry' and pay a minimal fine. Future generations will pay the price of this change.
This Act change is very similar to the Ford rant that the justice system is only a 'bleeding green heart' roadblock to progress. I contend that the system is meant to be a check and balance to unbridled political ideology by people who have a slanted view of the future.
