Delisting
Under the Endangered Species Act, species in danger of extinction was protected – in theory. What happens when this law is taken advantage of in order for the government to gain access to private lands? Or, when species are no longer endangered and remain on the list?
There is significant economic harm done to landowners who must give up their rights to the land they own in order for the government as well as tremendous destruction to habitat who are effected by the government policies.

How Do We Stop This?
In order to get a species removed from the list and the restrictions lifted, a formal delisting petition must be signed and perusing court action if necessary. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will then be responsible for the removing the species from the list.
We are leading the movement to remove species that do not warrant protection from the Federal Endangered List.

Our Mission & Approach
Our mission is to strengthen property rights and the liberties they secure. We have three pillars of focus;
Focus One
to continue building the property rights Movement through alliances with like-minded organizations and policymakers to advance strategies that will restore our Constitutionally guaranteed property rights.
Focus Two
to equip citizens with the tools to educate and teach others why it is imperative that we the people own our nation’s natural resources to limit government over us.
Focus Three
we must mobilize the people to help stop the policies eroding property rights at the local, state and federal level.
