“PERC’s longstanding campaign to retool the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with a market-based approach has a new ally: The Washington Post editorial board. In a recent editorial titled ‘We need to rethink the Endangered Species Act,’ the storied outlet makes the case for rethinking the act’s incentive structure and embracing ‘market-oriented strategies.’ Having long supported reforms following these very principles — that by making wildlife an asset rather than a liability, we can improve the outcomes of imperiled species — we are thrilled to see the editorial board’s results-oriented proposal.” (05/01/25)
