I think we'd have to sit down and talk a little bit about the details. The federal government doesn't have to do anything, actually, after a species is listed. They only have to come up with a recovery strategy and an action plan. That action plan doesn't even have to be implemented under the current implementation of SARA.
I'm not sure that opening SARA up at this point would actually solve this perceived problem that you have. I would just like to add that I don't think it's fair to say that academic scientists don't understand about working people and jobs.
