The "adequate concern and conservation" that Congress in the Endangered Species Act makes imperative lies outside traditional legal property rights and outside classical ethical theory. The Act is visionary and implementing it is forcing seminal rethinking. We probe a tension between respect for life at the species level and respect for property.born digitalarticleseng©1990 University of Colorado Law School.
