<title>Is Endangered Species Act Endangered?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5935/20050721/is-endangered-species-act-endangered</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 21, 2005) The Endangered Species Act protects plants and animals  that are on the brink of extinction.  The American Bald Eagle and the Timber Wolf are examples of animals that have recovered because of the Act.  But, some conservative members of Congress think the Endangered Species Act goes too far.  They say the law often stands in the way of economic progress and private property rights.  The Great Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Mark Brush has this story.
