目前根据美国《濒危物种法》(ESA)列出的物种中，近30%既没有生活在美国或其管辖的领土上，也没有通过美国或其管辖的领土迁徙。因此，欧空局提供的许多保护措施，如制定物种恢复计划和要求联邦咨询，并不适用于这些“外国名单”。欧空局和其他国际立法之间的重叠造成了对濒危外国物种的保护的特殊拼凑，而影响法律实施的法院裁决进一步复杂化了这一点。本文概述了欧空局适用于外来物种的历史、法律和行政要素，旨在为生态学家和保护生物学家在这一复杂的法律问题上提供直接的指导。我们讨论了外国物种上市的潜在优势和劣势，并就根据欧空局将外国物种列入名单的实际好处提出了重要问题。
Nearly 30% of the species currently listed under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) neither live nor migrate through the United States or the territories under its jurisdiction. Consequently, many of the protections afforded by the ESA, such as the development of species recovery plans and the requirement for federal consultation, are not applied to these "foreign listings." Overlap between the ESA and other international legislation has created an idiosyncratic patchwork of protections for endangered foreign species, which is further complicated by court rulings that affect the administration of the law. This overview of the historical, legal, and administrative elements of the ESA as have been applied to foreign species aims to provide a straightforward guide for ecologists and conservation biologists on this complex legal issue. We discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages of foreign listings and raise important questions about the practical benefits of listing foreign species under the ESA.
