What are Federally Endangered and Threatened Species?
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 provides an important tool for conservation of endangered and threatened species. Federally endangered species are so rare they are in danger of becoming extinct. Unfortunately, extinction is forever and once gone, a species can never return to our web of life. Threatened species are more abundant at this time but may become endangered in the future.
