For more than 35 years, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has prevented the probable extinction of hundreds of species across the Nation and contributed to the recovery of many others. Although we have made significant progress in safeguarding imperiled species and their ecosystems, we face continuing challenges. Ensuring that imperiled species continue to be protected and recovered requires an ongoing commitment to implementing a strong, effective ESA—one that is responsive to both the needs of species and to the ideas and concerns of our citizens.
The Endangered Species Program's commitment to excellence in carrying out our responsibilities under the ESA will guide our efforts to continually enhance our conservation success. To better fulfill the purposes of the ESA and achieve our conservation goals, we will put increasing emphasis on the following principles:
These guiding principles, our approach for recovering and conserving our nation's imperiled species, and how we will measure our success are further articulated in our vision document for the Endangered Species Program.
