Without the Endangered Species Act, we would have no old growth trees left in the Pacific Northwest. Those 300 years plus old trees are a national treasure. You should come to the Pacific Northwest and view them sometime.

The Act has it's warts, that's for sure.... but - measured against the success rate of the average government program, and considering the difficulty of it's task, and the great weight of systemic opposition to it's goals, and the lack of funding - I'd have to guess that it's been at least as effective as the 'average' program has.
