Endangered Species
The plant or the animal which is examined at the risk of the extinction such species are known as
endangered species. There are many laws which are proposed to protect such species by
prohibiting hunting, restrictions on the development of land or by developing the protected areas.
An endangered species can be listed on three different levels which are state, federal and
international level. In 1973 congress proposed the endangered species act, it was proposed under
federal government for protecting the species which are likely to extinct. When any species if it
is plant or animal get the protection by the ESA they are known as listed species. The
endangered species act is very essential because it is providing support to wildlife which is going
to be extinct (Frank, and Wilcove, 2019). If any one species get extinct it impact on the complete
ecosystem also it decreases quality of the life.
