The article criticizes the proposal of U.S. Representative Richard Pombo to drastically change the critical habitat provisions of the Endangered Species Act in the U.S. Critical Habitat designations have zero effect on the vast majority of private landowners. Most landowners already enjoy the right to proceed with projects that may impair habitat for endangered species, as long as they do not actually kill individuals of an endangered species without first securing the necessary permits. Pombo notes that a tiny percentage of the 1,830 species listed under the act have come off the list because they have recovered. This one of the last pieces of law that offers even the slightest protection to endangered species in a minority cases, and with no effect on the vast majority of property owners, is to be traded off for unspecified other methods of protection. The critics claim that the Critical Habitat process is dysfunctional and lawsuit driven. The lawsuit-driven part is symptom of the dysfunctionality, and only because the Federal government has continually refused to enforce the law.
