ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OF 1973

16 U.S.C. §§ 1531-1544, December 28, 1973, as amended 1976-1982, 1984 and 1988.

Overview. The Endangered Species Act provides broad protection for species of fish, wildlife and plants that are listed as threatened or endangered in the U.S. or elsewhere. Provisions are made for listing species, as well as for recovery plans and the designation of critical habitat for listed species. The Act outlines procedures for federal agencies to follow when taking actions that may jeopardize listed species, and contains exceptions and exemptions. The Endangered Species Act also is the enabling legislation for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, commonly known as CITES. Criminal and civil penalties are provided for violations of the Act and the Convention.

Findings/Policy (ESA § 2). Congress found that various species of fish, wildlife and plants in the U.S. have been rendered extinct and others depleted to the point of being in danger of or threatened with extinction. Congress declared that:   depleted species are of aesthetic, ecological, educational, historical, recreational and scientific value; the U.S. has pledged to conserve various species facing extinction pursuant to several international treaties and agreements; encouraging states and other interested parties, through federal financial assistance and a system of incentives, to develop conservation programs meeting national and international standards is a key to meeting international commitments and to safeguarding the nation's heritage in fish, wildlife and plants.

The purposes of the Act are to:   provide a means of conserving the ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend; provide a program for conserving those species; take steps necessary to achieve the purposes of the international treaties and conventions. The policy of Congress is that federal agencies must seek to conserve endangered and threatened species and use their authorities in furtherance of the Act's purposes. § 1531.
