Common use of The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms Clause in Contracts

The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms. In 1973, the LPC was listed as threatened in Colorado under the State’s Nongame and Endangered or Threatened Species Conservation Act. In July of 1997, the NMDGF received a formal request to commence an investigation into the status of the LPC within New Mexico. In 1999, the recommendation to list the LPC as a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act, was withdrawn until more information could be collected from landowners, lessees, and land resource managers who may be affected by the listing or who may have information pertinent to the investigation. In 2006, the NMDGF determined that the LPC would not be State-listed in New Mexico. Regardless of each State’s listing status, most occupied LPC habitat throughout its current range occurs on private land (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx 1980), where state wildlife agencies have little authority to protect or direct management of the species’ habitat. Additionally, no laws or regulations currently protect LPC habitat on private land, aside from State harvest restrictions. There is no protection afforded to a candidate species under the ESA.
