Endangered Species - UrgentEndangered Species - I am totally amazed at the number of species on the list of endangered. Do you have any idea which species are on the list. I didn't until I read the list. It is time to do something to stop these animals from dropping off the face of the earth never to be seen again. One day your child may ask what does a cat look like or what does a bear look like. Mother have you ever seen a dog, cat or lizard? I know that sound far fetched but if we don't take care of the animals God gave us they will drop off into obscurity. This page is just the beginning of a series of pages and reports on endanger animals around the world. We need your help. If you have information to share on this subject please help us out. We cannot spread this message fast enough or without your help. If you have something to say just go to the contact us button and share your ideas, thoughts and articles. First, do you know what the endangered species act says? The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. § 136, 16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq. , ESA) is one of the dozens of United States environmental laws passed in the 1970s. As stated in section 2 of the act, it was designed to protect critically imperiled species from extinction as a "consequence of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation." The Endangered Species Act of 1973: 1-authorizes the determination and listing of species as endangered and threatened; 2-prohibits unauthorized taking, possession, sale, and transport of endangered creatures; 3-provides authority to acquire land for the conservation of listed species, using land and water conservation funds; 4-authorizes establishment of cooperative agreements and grants-in-aid to States that establish and maintain active and adequate programs for endangered and threatened wildlife and plants; 5-authorizes the assessment of civil and criminal penalties for violating the Act or regulations; and 6-authorizes the payment of rewards to anyone furnishing information leading to arrest and conviction for any violation of the Act or any regulation issued there under.[1] Endangered Species Act> Endangered Species Act This next article is a generalization of some of the animals on the list. Endangered Species List The World Conservation Union or ICUN prepares a list that indicates which species are considered to be vulnerable and endangered or even critically endangered. If you are a lover of animals or even just interested the world eco environment you will be aware of what is known as the endangered creatures list. Animals and plants that appear on this list have been scientifically studied and determined to be considerably in danger of becoming extinct due to significantly low numbers in existence. Sadly not enough of us are familiar with what we could be doing to help. Just some of the animals that appear on the endangered species list today are: The amazing great apes- Great apes have been hunted and slaughtered to near extinction not just to feed the demand for trade in the African bush meat trade, but also sickeningly to supply the tourist trade in body parts. Introduced diseases such as Ebola have also played a part in the destruction of these beautiful animals. The Asian Orangutan is on the endangered species list due to deforestation, and plain ignorance to the destruction of habitat for profit. The Atlantic Salmon- Once so plentiful it was an iconic symbol of healthy rivers and water systems, today many of the active salmon runs are now null and void. Marine turtles- The turtles, whose origins date back over 200 million years, are today appear on the endangered creatures list. Habitat pollution and destruction, boating collisions and hunting have almost completely erased them in our time. Elephants, the largest animal on land, have been unceremoniously poached for decades for their ivory tusks. Again habitat destruction also plays a significant role in our devastating loss and another animal on the endangered creatures list. Polar bears appear on the endangered species list as a result of climate change. Global warming has seriously shrunken the Antarctic ice masses on which they hunt their prey. The food supply supporting the polar bear has dramatically reduced as so is the awesome animal. The Panda, so adored, but so endangered. There are less than 1600 of Chins panda in the wild today, endangered due to poaching and deforestation. The Rhinoceros is also on the endangered creatures list endangered and facing the real threat of extinction. Many other animals also appear on the endangered creatures list including whales, dolphins, tigers, snow leopard and monarch butterflies. But you can make a difference. Wildlife conservation begins with you and me. We can make a difference by being environmentally aware in our everyday lives. Organic living is not just a trend, it’s a lifeline. Be aware when shopping for groceries and be careful of what chemicals we allow into our environment. Global warming is a threat that will affect generations to come. The atmosphere surrounding us that supports life is a God-given gift. It must be protected. We should be leaders in efforts to curb global warming, not resistant followers.
