Private Landowners, States, and the Endangered Species Act
Many federally listed species occur partially, extensively—in some cases even exclusively—on private lands; so working with private landowners is essential to protecting and recovering endangered species. To recover species on non-Federal lands, we must protect landowners' interests in their land while providing incentives to manage those lands in ways that benefit endangered species. We are fully committed to finding this balance between private property rights and endangered species protection. Other Federal agencies work with us through the consultation process, as laid out in section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
