Since 1973 the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been at the forefront of species protection, placing the United States of America as a world leader in science-based conservation. The ESA is our nation’s most effective law for protecting wildlife in danger of extinction, and has prevented 99 percent of listed species from going extinct. Despite how effective this law has been at its intended purpose, the current administration has its sights on weakening the ESA to the detriment of the species it was designed to protect. Your voice is needed to let the U.S. Fish and Wild Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service know that the proposed changes to the law are unacceptable! |
