Resumen

Professor Ruhl discusses the history of section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act, which imposes a duty to conserve species on all federal agencies, and explore the recent administration and congressional actions affecting this duty. He argues that the provision should be interpreted to require federal agencies to implement programs for the recovery of endangered species.
