Endangered Species Act By: Kelly Hansard, Kelli Bagwell, and Celeste Ligon

Purpose  The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was established in 1973 to conserve the Nation’s natural heritage for the enjoyment and benefit of current and future generations by conserving species that are in danger of extinction.

History/Authorization of Act  The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was established in 1973 and amended in 1982, 1985 and  To read the ESA go to  The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was established in 1973 and amended in 1982, 1985 and  To read the ESA go to

Endangered Species  Total listed- 1,925 species  Examples: Blue Whale, Florida Panther, Jaguar  Total listed- 1,925 species  Examples: Blue Whale, Florida Panther, Jaguar Blue WhaleFlorida PantherJaguar

Habitat Conservation  As habitat loss is the primary threat to most endangered species, the ESA of 1973 allowed the FWS and NOAA Fisheries to designate specific areas as protected “critical habitat” zones.  These habitats require all the essential needs of the endangered species. Such lands may be private or public.  As habitat loss is the primary threat to most endangered species, the ESA of 1973 allowed the FWS and NOAA Fisheries to designate specific areas as protected “critical habitat” zones.  These habitats require all the essential needs of the endangered species. Such lands may be private or public.

Recovery  The process- to provide specific management to ensure that a species is a secure member of its ecosystem  Its achieved by cooperative conservation with private land owners and through incentives provided by the FWS  The process- to provide specific management to ensure that a species is a secure member of its ecosystem  Its achieved by cooperative conservation with private land owners and through incentives provided by the FWS

The Goal of Recovery  Goal: to increase the numbers and improve the management to the point where they can be removed from the endangered list

Successful examples of Recovery  The California Condor  Black-footed Ferret  Peregrine Falcon  Bald Eagle  The California Condor  Black-footed Ferret  Peregrine Falcon  Bald Eagle California CondorBald EaglePeregrine FalconBlack-footed Ferret

Enforcement/Funding  The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)  NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Fisheries  Both of these organizations provide enforcement as well as funding  The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)  NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Fisheries  Both of these organizations provide enforcement as well as funding

Funding Continued… FThe Word Wildlife Fund (WWF) safeguards hundreds of species around the world.
