MICHAEL BYERS | 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT FOR THE NATIONAL PARKS CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION
January 17, 2024 Michael Byers
Legal Lifeline: This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, a law designed to safeguard the country’s most imperiled plants and animals. Do you know that this law helped prevent the extinction of 99% of the listed species, with over 50 — such as the bald eagle and Channel Island fox, to name two — now considered “recovered.” National parks play a vital role in this success, protecting the habitat of nearly half the 1,300-odd plants and animals currently listed as threatened or endangered in the United States and its territories. We’re loving this new art by Michael Byers for the National Parks Conservation Association and applaud all the hard work everyone is doing to safeguard our plants and animals
