Species act

The Endangered Species Act at Twenty-five The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 to show that species have “ecological, educational, historical, recreational, and scientific value”. This congressional enactment wanted to protect endangered species from the effects of major economic development which typically put them to the wayside. However, the good intentions of the ESA were, it caused a plethora of controversy that still makes it a heated topic today. The main reason of the controversy

The Endangered Species Act was enacted by Congress in 1973. According to Reference 1, this act requires the federal government to protect endangered species, threatening species, and their critical habits. Animals are protected from being harmed, sold, or traded and plants are protected if they are on federal property. The conservation success of this act is very important because it saves wildlife and plants from going extinct. Many people do not realize that the loss of a species can be disastrous

What is being done in the United States and across the world to aid in habitat loss? Making sure habitats are not destroyed by defending the Endangered Species Act, which provides an essential legal safety net to prevent the loss of plant and animal species to extinction, and strengthen the act by adding more provisions to aid wildlife. If we are not able to destroy habitats the wildlife that lives on them can thrive. Protecting and restoring habitats which wildlife live on, and protecting

Endangered Species have been increasing as of recently and society has started questioning how the world protects it’s endangered species. The world’s biodiversity is starting to decline and future generations will never be able to appreciate some of the species that live today. Endangered species have been increasing due to habitat loss, poaching and exotic species. The United States has protected its endangered species with the Endangered Species Act, but wildlife groups and federations have

The Endangered Species Act Introduction: Long-term survival of a species depends on its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions (Murphy, 1994). Genetic diversity within a species, which has taken 3.5 billion years to evolve, makes adaptations to these changing environments possible. Unfortunately, the rate of extinction of genetically diverse organisms is rapidly increasing, thus reducing this needed biodiversity, largely due to the human impacts of development and expansion.

There are very many endangered species all around the world. If we let animals become extinct and not do anything about it, then a lot of our food sources are going to die out. We need to start doing stuff about endangered animals. Animals become endangered because either we over hunt them, or we destroy their habitat. The definition of an endangered animal is very low species that couldn’t adapt(sheehan, 4-5). If species become too endangered then they could go extinct. This happens over the

Endangered Species Act When people hear the word extinction, most think of the unfortunate faith of a leopard, elephant, or bird. But the sad truth is that they are a small portion of the extinction crisis. According to WWF, the rate of species extinction “1,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate” (Para. 2) and humans are part of the cause. To solve such problem, the United States passed a law known as the endangered species act (ESA) in 1973 under the Nixon administration. The purpose

Endangered Species Act of 1973 At the start of the 1900s, the American public was starting to see the effects of extinction. The bison population, for example, was rapidly declining, yet the public was oblivious. Thousands of different species were being killed for recreational purposes, museum exhibits, and clothing items. No one realized the threat because many thought animal numbers were large at the time. Shockingly, even naturalists were killing animals for different studies. The species loss was

Is the Endangered Species Act Effective? Did people ever see many bald eagles when they were young? There is a disagreement about whether or not the endangered species act is effective at protecting species from extinction. There are some people that argue that they aren't doing good at protecting the many species. The endangered species act is helping protect many of the bald eagle population from becoming extinct. There are at least three reasons that they are doing good at protecting bald eagles

Endangered Species Act of 1973 The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is an environmental policy that is currently having problems with timely implementation of its policies. The current issue interfering with the ability of this policy to perform to the best of its ability is the government’s reaction time. The government has been sluggish in reacting to the different species when they become endangered. This may in part be due to interference from lobbyists who may not always be acting in the best
