Title
NESARC -- National Endangered Species Act Reform Coalition
Description
The National Endangered Species Act Reform Coalition is the country’s oldest broad-based, national coalition dedicated solely to achieving improvements to the Endangered Species Act. The Coalition includes rural irrigators, municipalities, farmers, electric utilities, and many other individuals, organizations, and businesses that are supportive of updating the Act to achieve the ultimate goal of species recovery. Since its inception in 1991, NESARC consistently has proven that it is possible to carve out a balanced middle-ground on the issue of ESA improvement. The diverse membership of the Coalition, its single issue focus, and its emphasis on grassroots activities have attracted a growing number of major, and geographically diverse groups to support our efforts.
Our strong advocacy program has been instrumental in pushing regulators to improve how it implements the Act. And we have supported and worked with numerous Members of Congress – of both parties – as they have developed their proposals to improve the Act.
We seek an open debate so that the ESA will work better both for the species it was designed to protect and the communities that have to live and work with the law.
