Protection Of Endangered Species

Of all the species that existed from the beginning, 98% of the species were extinct (facts). Currently there are estimated 5 million to 10 million species, only 5 million species (Shelly, 2). Scientists classify species into six different groups: plants, animals, insects, algae, fungi and microorganisms (for today). Only in the tropical rainforest, most species disappear at a rate of 1% per year (Sherry, 6). If the current trend continues until 2050 (today's situation), at least 50% of the existing species will be in danger of extinction.

The Endangered Species Protection Act (ESA) was enacted by Congress in 1973. According to the ESA, the federal government is responsible for protecting endangered species (potentially extinct in that range or most in the range), endangered species (species that are threatened in the near future) and important habitats Regions indispensable for the survival of certain endangered species) The Endangered Species Protection Act lists protected plants and animals both in Japan and the world. If the species is protected by ESA, it is called a "listed" species. According to ESA, possible conservation evaluations of many other species are known as "candidate" species.

It is necessary to confirm that they are protected while firmly grasping the importance of threatened endangered species. The Endangered Species Protection Act is the first line of defense against extinction in our country. Unfortunately, the seed slipped into the ESA crack. Citizens across the country keep on alert, protecting biodiversity and wildlife within the community. By monitoring the state and federal actions against endangered species, citizens can act as silent voices to ensure that these species' health is taken into account.

Protection of endangered species as adopted in Ontario in 1971 is unique in the world as it is trying to protect rare or endangered species of all animals and plants, including insects. In 1978, the intergovernmental committee on the current state of endangered wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) began to identify domestic list of dangerous species. In 1972, the United Nations Human Environment Conference was held in Stockholm. Canadian representatives are high and Canadian protection issues are becoming increasingly international by participating in the United Nations for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and Protection of Natural and Natural Resources. As people become aware that everyone depends on clean air, water and healthy ecosystems, environmental problems are beginning to emerge globally
