Hello friends! It's your favorite nature nerds the @nationalparkservice and @usfws, here to celebrate a historic anniversary. 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The ESA provides legal protections to plants and wildlife that are threatened or endangered and has helped to save countless species over the past 50 years. Species like the bald eagle, American alligator, California condor, and hundreds more have all been brought back from the edge of extinction by this critical law. The California condor still requires protection from the ESA, but others like the bald eagle, have fully recovered!
The ESA aims to protect and recover imperiled species and the ecosystems they depend on. The National Park Service (NPS) works hand in hand with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct conservation and restoration activities and minimize negative impacts on imperiled species within NPS sites. NPS + USFWS = Great partners in saving species. Happy #ESA50!
