Endangered Species Act Case Study
The Endangered Species Act mandates federal agencies to turn to The Secretary of the Interior to confirm that any legal actions didn’t affect any endangered species or caused damage to natural ecosystems. The Department of the Interior undertook this law to necessitate discussions only for actions ensued by agencies within the United States or in the ocean, a view that the Defenders of Wildlife disagree upon. They believed that actions subsidized by the Agency for International Development could harm endangered species. Two of its members, Joyce Kelly and Amy Skilbred, provided confirmations that they traveled to foreign countries to analyze endangered species in the past and would make more trips in the future. These confirmations were proposed

    Tellico Dam And The Snail Darter Fish Summary

    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.…

    Korbert On Rosy Wolfsnails

    Kolbert’s logical appeal strengthens her argument, as she weaves a compelling thread of logic and scientific evidence into it. For instance, Kolbert writes about the introduction of rosy wolfsnails in Hawaii in the 1950’s to exemplify the repercussions of introducing new species in a habitat, such as threatening the well-being of native ones (Kolbert 2014, 203). According to Kolbert, Hawaiians first introduced the rosy wolfsnail in their island to reduce the population of giant African snails, which “had become an agricultural pest” ( Kolbert 2014, 203). However, wolfsnails preyed only on Hawaii’s native snails (Kolbert 2014, 203). As a consequence, ninety percent of native snail species in Hawaii became extinct (Kolbert 2014, 203). While…

    Northern Spotted Owl Case Study

    After the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service failed to list the Northern Spotted Owl as an endangered species, several environmental groups petitioned for the Department of the Interior to reconsider this decision. The reasoning behind the Department of the Interior’s failure to list the NSO was that it’s listing would interfere with a lucrative logging industry that already had several future projects approved by the DOI. Environmental groups felt that he logging projects in Washington State were being prioritized over the responsibility that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has to protect endangered species under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. After a delay to respond to this matter, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service…

    Summary: The Illegal Wildlife Trade

    A rapidly growing trade for the Transnational Organized Crime groups is the illegal wildlife trade. “By its very nature, it is almost impossible to obtain reliable figures for the value of illegal wildlife trade. Experts at TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, estimate that it runs into hundreds of millions of dollars.” (2015). Tigers, Elephants, Rhinos, and even sea creatures like turtles are just a few animals that are being poached for this trade. The elephants for their ivory and Rhinos for their horns, is all that a poacher is after and metric tons of the stuff is being seized. The question to that is, how much is getting through that nobody knows about? Plants, yes plants, and other animals are all being sold for such…

    Pros And Cons Of Protecting The Gray Wolf

    The problem with offering money is that some ranchers have accepted it, but used that money to pay hunters to kill as many wolves as possible (nytimes, 2011). Ranchers do not believe that it is necessary to keep wolf populations as high as they are (nytimes, 2011). The fourth article discussed how the court was going to uphold Congress’s act to remove the wolf from the endangered species list (latimes, 2012). The main viewpoints are the agencies that support Congress’s decision to take the wolf off the list versus the environmental groups (latimes, 2012). The environmental groups were arguing that the rider that Congress issued in 2011 was a violation of the separation of powers doctrine (latimes, 2012). However, it was revealed that the separation of powers doctrine was not violated and that states should still get the rights to determine wolf population numbers (latimes, 2012). In the fifth article, state governments versus environmental groups are the main viewpoints (nytimes, 2013). State governments believe that they are the most competent to make decisions about the future of wolves (nytimes, 2013). Reports indicate that wolf populations remain…

    Species At Risk Act

    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…

    Case Study: Massachusetts Audubon Society

    National environmental organizations included Friends of the Earth, National Audubon Society, Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, and Wilderness Society had chapters or offices in Massachusetts. The Appalachian Mountain Club was regional, with chapters throughout the Northeast U.S. By contrast, Mass Audubon, Trustees of Reservations and MASSPIRG confined their activities to Massachusetts. Although organizations sometimes worked in coalitions to advocate specific political agenda, they also competed for funding and, to some extent, for members. On occasion, some of them had even competed for the same piece of environmentally sensitive property. The Nature Conversancy protected 17,000 acres in the state, Mass Audubon held 29,000 acres, and The Trustees of Reservations had more than 45,000 acres. Many other nonprofit organizations operated individual sanctuaries and nature centers or preserved land from development through land trusts.…
