Safe harbors

Article Abstract:

A new habitat conservation approach, 'Safe Harbor' was proposed by Sec of the Interior Bruce Babbitt on MAr 1, 1995. It seeks to encourage landowners to attract endangered bird species to their land. The landowners would retain the right to transform their land for other uses without any punishment. There are a few restrictions placed on landowners. They cannot destroy nesting location of endangered birds that were previously present nor can they develop land during nesting season. The Fish and Wildlife Service retains the right to relocate the protected species from the land if necessary.
