Abstract
This paper is to discuss endangered species. It is meant to help understand how a species becomes endangered. It tells who decides which species are considered endangered and what conditions would lead them to become endangered. The paper tells about how endangered species can affect the lives of just a few people but an entire town. Examples are included in the text about how this has happened before. It is easy to understand how a species can be considered endangered but the purpose of the paper is to distinguish the difference between a species and a subspecies. The status of whether a species is a subspecies or a species can have a drastic impact of human lives.

The survival of every species that is still living on Earth is very important to a lot of people. This is so important there is a day dedicated to celebrating Endangered species that are no longer endangered and the species that are still in danger. Endangered Species day is celebrated every 3rd Friday of May (National Wild Life Federation). Sometimes these species can have a great impact on human lives. The ESA or Endangered Species Act is a very strong environmental legislation. It gives the government right to act on private land. This can involve shutting down whole companies that are impacting the survival of a species; this can lead to the crippling of an entire town. Species can be considered a species of a subspecies. This taxonomic status of an organism can have a significant economic and social impact. This is what gets a lot of heated debates started between companies and environmentalist. The companies always argue that the species is not a subspecies but is part of the main species. The environmentalists always argue that the species is a subspecies that is genetically different than the main species. For a species to be considered endangered it has to qualify for the protection status of

    In “The Story of Tellico Dam and the Snail Darter Fish”, a classic case of environment versus government is illustrated. It describes the process in which the Endangered Species Act was passed by Congress in 1973 to bring awareness of species that are on the verge of being extinct and work towards improving their condition. Specifically, this policy states that the “government agencies must do everything it can to protect the animal from extinction.” However, not too long after the Act was passed, the Snail Darter, an extremely tiny fish species, was listed on the Endangered Species list. But, the story gets even more fragile.…

    There are many species in the world that are in danger for extinction. The Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the top marine specie endangered in the United States. The Hawaiian monk seals are native species that live around the islands of Hawaii. It is important to conserve as many animals in the world and not wait until they are close to being endangered. They play a huge role in the world. Species can be endangered due to the lack of importance that people have for animals. Many times humans can interfere in a negative way without realizing how it affects them. It is due to how society does not take the time to learn about what goes around the environment. The most important resources that humans need daily are: water, food, and shelter and it…

    When we hear of the term species, a class of individuals having common attributes and designated by a common name comes to mind. However, when the term endangered is used in conjunction with species, this gives us a different perspective, as well as negative. Thus, an endangered species is a species threatened by extinction. The Puerto Rican Parrot falls under this category. This parrot has seen an extravagant population decrease over the last five hundred years. However, there stands a great chance for its recovery through captive breeding programs.…

    Endangered species are those that are approaching the inability to reproduce or maintain a sufficient steady state population. They are approaching a bottle neck that without involvement, nature will eliminate their existence on earth. Although humans seem to interfere and even initiate this decline of animal population, we ourselves are a product of nature, and if allowing extinction benefits the overall wellbeing of our species, then it is our natural obligation to allow such extinction to take place.…

    The Endangered Species Act was signed in December 1973 by then, President Richard Nixon, and it replaced the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969. In the past thirty years, the ESA has protected endangered species of fish, plants, and wildlife. Some 1,950 species who are on the Endangered Species List have received protection from the ESA. Of those, 1,375 reside partly or fully within the United States. Because of this law, many species’ habitats were saved by destruction and degradation from human activities, such as logging, real estate and other industry development, mining, and global warming. “The Endangered Species Act is very important, because it save our native fish, plants, and wildlife from going extinct. Once a species are gone, there is no way to bring them back. Losing even a single species can have disastrous impacts on the rest of the ecosystem, because the effects will be felt throughout the…

    The Species At Risk Act (SARA) is a piece of legislation in Canada that exists in order to prevent the disappearance of species considered at risk as well as to facilitate the recovery of species that have been identified as being either incapable of subsisting in the wild, or a special concern as they are identified as having potential to become extinct or endangered in the future as a result of human activity. It is designed with the intention to protect the habitats of species as well as the species themselves. Presently SARA has three schedules, one with the list of endangered species and two with lists of species that were decided to be deserving of the status at risk by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in…

    Earth is composed of many different ecosystems and each one is a “dynamic complex of plant, animal, and micro-organism communities interacting with the non-living environment as a functional unit" (Protecting Threatened Ecosystems, 2004). These ecosystems are an intricate part of the human lifecycle as they provide us with our water, food and energy. Since mankind is in a take and take some more relationship with the ecosystems, many of them have had their natural processes disrupted, not to mention the added pollution and excessive use. According to the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, "Over 60% of all ecosystems on the globe are overexploited and have entered into a degradation cycle with often unknown consequences" (2004). How do we as humans combat this you ask? The answer, a simple one, is through ecosystem maintenance by conservation or preservation.…
