Reply to comment by TipTapTips in Analysis of US Endangered Species Act finds species are protected too late, with too small populations, and with insufficient funding, undermining the Act's effectiveness by thebelsnickle1991
A great example in my neck in the woods as a wildlife biologist is Greater Sage Grouse. Mining is big out west, and so is ranching. These animals should have been listed truthfully as endangered a decade ago and it still has yet to happen.
However, because mining companies would have more restrictions for land grabs, and ranchers would have more problems with preventing overgrazing in habitat for Sage Grouse it hasn’t happened yet, and until they’re almost gone it won’t.
It’s all about money and it’s sad
