Summary:

The endangered species program needs better management. In a recent GAO report on the endangered species program, several recommendations were made to Congress. Three dealt with amending the Endangered Species Act and the remaining two dealt with limiting funds for Federal land acquisitions and consultations with other Federal agencies to resolve potential conflicts involving endangered and threatened species. Recommendations were also made to the Secretary of the Interior to improve the process used to select species for review and listing as endangered or threatened. Deficiencies in the listing process had threatened effective implementation of the entire endangered species program.
