Abstract

Naysayers would have the world believe that the Endangered Species Act has been detrimental to the economy, in the United States and abroad. However, in the 34 years since the passage of the Endangered Species Act, the gross domestic product in the US has grown an average of 3% per year (Amadeo 2018). More importantly, according to a study completed by The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (Southwick Associates 2011), the Endangered Species Act has not only protected species, it has supported and sustained economic growth. The Foundation study quantifies five economic benefits associated with natural resources conservation.
