Although the participants in this group came to the table with significantly different perspectives, they engaged in high-level, productive discussions, the results of which will be extremely helpful to Congress as it considers changes to the Endangered Species Act.

This study shows that just passing the buck to the states isn't likely to solve the endangered species problem. Restoring endangered species is difficult no matter who's doing it. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. There are no quick fixes, and weakening the Endangered Species Act certainly isn't one of them.

If the Endangered Species Act can be amended to be a little more landowner friendly, I think it would be more helpful in recovering some of these species.

Congress needs to do everything possible to save these imperiled birds before it is too late. Unfortunately all the effort in Congress is focused on cutting holes in the Endangered Species Act.

ESA-related costs are paid in an inequitable way. Although Congress determined in 1973 that the preservation of endangered species was in the interest of the U.S. as a whole, Congress did not arrange for the nation as a whole to bear the costs of recovery. Instead, these costs are largely borne by the private landowners on whose property rare species are found, regardless of the ability of any particular landowner to bear these costs.

No species can survive such a high mortality rate. It is more difficult for an already endangered species.

The report argues that the (low) figure is not the best measure of success or failure of the act to this point. Many endangered species are making steady progress toward recovery under the Endangered Species Act.

Southern California is the endangered species hot spot in the continental United States. We are continuing to add population. It sets up a collision course between the Endangered Species Act and land use.

There is broad consensus in Congress to reform the Endangered Species Act,

It is a drastic mistake to eliminate the provisions that have to do with the protection of habitat for endangered species, ... It is my opinion that the Endangered Species Act is 99 percent about protecting critical habitat.

Federal agencies shouldn't be able to dodge their obligations to protect endangered species by delegating important decision to the states. The state doesn't have the authority to protect endangered species the way the feds do.

In the 33-year history of the Endangered Species Act, less than one percent of species listed as endangered or threatened under the Act have been recovered. While most would consider a less-than-one-percent recovery rate a failure, many environmentalists apparently consider it good enough to continue the status quo.

Wolves are a high-profile species and the fact of the matter is the (Fish and Wildlife) Service has a hard time getting anything off the endangered species list. We do think it's time for a creative approach.

Initially, the Endangered Species Act created a preservation pattern that was oriented species by species. It made for a complex but not very efficient system.

Mr. Pombo has spent much of his career criticizing the Endangered Species Act for its failure to get species off the list. Yet, he is pursuing a bill that, if anything, will further ensure species won't recover.
