The ESA when it was first…

The ESA when it was first released was considered the gold standard of protections for species at risk according to experts in the field across the developed world.

Modifications and or amendements to the ESA for "effectiveness" is only to benefit aggresive development and further create encroachment into restricted, endangered, fractured habitats and species that are in desperate need of protections.

The system has been proven to work and there HAS to be a balance between both sides. This is irresponsible stewardship of a finite resource that once is gone is far more expensive and strenuous to rehabilitate.

Politics aside there is no further effectiveness that can be created from these changes only criminal short sighted negligence.
