I posted the inquiry below yesterday, but since then I came across a paper by Patrick Parenteau from the Vermont Law School that investigated this topic. For those who are interested, the paper can be found at:

Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 11:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: information on ESA litigation Hello, I'm looking for information on the proportion of Endangered Species Act litigation that is brought by environmental or conservation groups (e.g., entities attempting to protect species) vs. the proportion brought by entities attempting to challenge ESA regulations. I remember reading a few years ago in what I thought at the time was a reliable source that most of the litigation involving endangered species protection was actually initiated by developers or other pro-development groups rather than environmental groups. However, I cannot find this source. Can anyone direct me to this information? Thanks in advance. Kathy Fleming, PhD 1404 Howard Rd Annapolis, MD 21403 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
