Addresses four kinds of ESA measures covered by the cases, including prohibitions on land uses that might adversely affect species listed as endangered or threatened; reductions in water delivery to preserve instream flows; limits on defensive measures a property owner may take to protect property from listed animals; and limits on commercial dealings in members of a species acquired prior to listing. |
