Endangered Species Essay

What are the origins and history of the Endangered species act?Congress started the Endangered Species Act in 1966 to list native animal species as endangered animal and give them more protection than they had. They tried to create the animals home like the habitat they live and so they can survive longer and not go to extinct. So as time goes by they are collecting more and more extinct animals to give more population in the species. There first step was them having 80 nations to sign “Conventions

Endangered Species Still Being Poached There are hundreds of animal species that are endangered and could possibly be extinct within a few years. Some people might think that poaching endangered species is fine because we are getting cool looking furs from them, but that animal could go extinct and the can effect many other animal species and they could also go extinct. People need to stop poaching endangered species because hundreds of animal species are now extinct or almost extinct because of

than 700 species of vertebrates alone are present here. Being located at the intersection of two key migration routes for migrating birds, wildlife watchers across the world come here to see the 500 different species of birds. Before building of the railing began in 2009, a list of species that are endangered by this construction was generated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. More than 10 plants present on the state’s endangered list and about 23 species on the Texas’s endangered list and

Innocent animals are being hunted, killed, and murdered. The price to pay for a missing species is more than we can bare. This is severely damaging our environment and not only hurting the animals, but ourselves as well. The human race is capable of change; but it will take time, which is something these poor animals do not have. If we want to protect our world, we will have to move and fast. Extinction of these species can be prevented and our future generations can enjoy this wonderful planet as it

Nathaniel Schmidt Endangered Species The revolution to protect endangered species began in 1973 with Nixon at the reigns of it. Thus the Endangered Species act of 1973 was created. This act provides for the protection and conservation of endangered plants and animals as well as their habitat. Even with this act creatures like the Sumatran tiger are still facing certain extinction. These tigers live on the island of Sumatra. There are many threats to their species survival. One of the main threats

Cloning Endangered Species only Delays Extinction   Last week, scientists revealed they have successfully cloned an endangered Asian gaur -- a stocky ox-like animal with a humped back. Such a technological breakthrough provides confidence that we will soon have the endangered species problem under control. Or does it?   Though the university's burgeoning squirrel population seems to indicate otherwise, species extinction is a grave problem in most parts of the world. Species are imperiled

sea’s rulers, yet both of these seemingly unstoppable species fell to an even greater power: extinction. Now humans reside at the top, but as another extinction threatens earth’s ecosystem, humans and billions of other plants and animals may perish similarly to the many species before them. Alexander Pyron explores the degree to which humans should preserve biodiversity and endangered species in his article “We don’t need to save endangered species. Extinction is part of evolution.” Pyron writes to

It's Time to Reform the Endangered Species Act In 1973, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act. The Act was passed in response to findings by Congress that growth and development were responsible for the extinction of species of fish, wildlife and plants. This Act was to provide programs to protect species identified as either endangered or threatened. It also mandated Federal agencies and departments to protect endangered and threatened species in their own operations, as well as work

and many that are endangered. The Endangered Species Act is a good thing because it has provided a set way in helping to protect different species. The Endangered Species Act was signed by past president Richard Nixon, and it was passed with 99% support from Congress. They wanted to protect different species no matter what. Between 40%-50% of endangered species in the U.S. have made improvement, but others are moving toward extinction. The law has helped in the rebirth of 36 species, but a similar number

Mo Yi Lam BISC_102 Professor Kiefer Nov 30th, 2010 Final Paper (Summary of Endangered Species Act) Endangered Species Act “What is an endangered species?” is a question that needs to be addressed before getting known of endangered species act. An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct due to three possible reasons: it is few in numbers. According to the theory of Exponential Growth Curve proposed by Malthus, a lower population tends to have
