We support a voluntary conservation habitat reserve program that would provide incentives for landowners to establish and maintain habitat for endangered species.’05         Compensation shall be provided for landowners where use of the land is restricted by the Endangered Species Act.’07
     We urge the state to eliminate from the list those species (threatened or endangered) that might have limited numbers in Maryland but are common elsewhere.’06
     Endangered species protection should not go beyond those species protected by federal law. ’07
     Any plant or animal that is taken as a result of an agricultural practice shall be considered an incidental taking.  ’07
