About the Author
Kathryn A. Kohm is an editor and writer specializing in biodiversity conservation and other natural resource issues.
From Library Journal
Twenty-one essays by conservationists and environmental law specialists trace the legislative history of the Endangered Species Act, describe the unique land and water rights precedents established under the act, and comment on why the act has so far failed to stem the tide of species extinctions. Most contributors feel implementation efforts must shift from single-species conservation to habitat conservation programs that benefit multiple species, including plants and invertebrates that often are a low priority with government officials and the public. Written in a somewhat dry, scholarly style, this is most appropriate for academic or large public libraries serving environmentalists seeking specialized information.
