Description
Summary:	There is growing interest in using mediation and negotiation to resolve environmental disputes, in order to avoid the expense and delay normally associated with judicial resolutions. Many environmental activists, however, question the value of employing alternative dispute resolution in the environmental context. In this Essay, a conservationist who has considerable experience with negotiation and mediation processes discusses some of the problems that are specific to endangered species negotiation. The author concludes that, if care is taken to avoid certain pitfalls, alternative dispute resolution can be a useful adjunct to other processes for protection of species.
