Family Forest Landowners and the Endangered Species Act: Assessing Potential Incentive Programs
2018
Overview
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) employs regulations to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitat on private lands. Complying with ESA regulations can cause economic losses for private landowners; failure to comply can result in fines and imprisonment. Current policies may create an economic disincentive for maintaining habitat for listed species on private lands, thus undermining the very purpose of the ESA. This study examined a purposive sample of key family forest landowners’ perspectives on the ESA. An electronic survey was administered to members of national and state forestry organizations across the United States (
N
= 928). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that respondents’ attitudes toward the ESA, private property norms, and past behavior were significant predictors of their behavioral intention to participate in potential incentive programs. Results revealed key family forest landowners’ perspectives on species conservation, with implications for future policy changes that could lead to more effective protection of listed species in the United States.
