The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on December 28, 1973, with the intention of protecting threatened wildlife and conserving rare species. However, after fifty years, it has become evident that the law has had limited success in recovering endangered and threatened species, especially on private land. This is significant because a majority of species depend on privately owned habitat. In fact, empirical evidence suggests that the ESA's punitive regulations may even discourage private land habitat conservation. [Extracted from the article]
