This podcast featuring Murray Feldman (Holland & Hart LLP) and Sam Kalen (Indiana University McKinney School of Law) examines the evolving legal and regulatory landscape surrounding the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Drawing from decades of experience in government, private practice, and academia, as well as their book, ESA Essentials: The Endangered Species Act, the speakers provide listeners with a practical overview of the ESA's core framework, including species listings, critical habitat designations, and the Section 7 consultation process.

Tune in for an insightful conversation on where the ESA has been, the challenges it faces today, and what may lie ahead for one of the nation's most consequential environmental laws.
