Maurer environmental law expert is lead author on Science Insights Policy Forum article

Abstract

Environmental champions and conservationists will mark the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act later this month. That is the law requiring federal agencies to use all methods necessary to prevent extinctions and ensure that federal actions not jeopardize the continued existence of species on the brink of disappearing from the face of the Earth.

In the leadup to the December 27th anniversary, several publications have begun examining the Act’s history and impact over five decades.

Science, the world’s third-most influential scholarly journal based on Google Scholar citations, invited experts from around the country to look ahead as well for its Insights Policy Forum. Indiana University Maurer School of Law Professor Rob Fischman is the lead author on one of those pieces. The result can be found in the December 21 issue of Science.
