Some measures are being taken to help specific cases of endangerment‚ but the question I have is should the Endangered Species Act be strengthened. The universal problem cannot be fixed until us as humans protect the natural environments where endangered species live. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one of the most popular and successful

animal that was chosen for our team was the Manus Green Tree Snail‚ and this snail species is endangered. There is only to two main risk to the existence of the species: habitat destruction and over collection. The habitat destruction is the greatest threat to the Manus Green Tree Snail. Over collection is less of a threat than the habitat destruction. Mostly people buy the shell of the snail which protect the snail which causes the endangerment. To help this problem‚ I.A.R.F’s Environmental Cyber Crimes

Endangered species are those considered to be at risk of extinction‚ meaning that there are so few left of their kind that they could disappear from the planet altogether. Endangered species are threatened by factors such as habitat loss‚ hunting‚ disease and climate change‚ and usually‚ endangered species‚ have a declining population or a very limited range. The current rate of extinction is thought to be far greater than the expected natural rate‚ with many species going extinct before they have

Projects that result only in habitat disturbance requires that the disturbed habitat be restored to its pre-activity condition or a condition that improved habitat for the snakes following completion of the activity.

................ “Indus River Dolphin” The Indus River dolphin is endemic to the lower Indus basin rivers in Pakistan. They are 5 to 8 ft. in length. Their habitat once ranged from the Indus delta upstream to the Himalayan foothills. However‚ the construction of dams and barrages has severely limited the dolphins’ movement and habitat‚ as has increasing withdrawal of water for agricultural and industrial use. The plight of the once plentiful Indus River dolphin has become emblematic of wildlife’s
