Conservation groups celebrate Endangered Species Act anniversary
From KiowaCountyPress.net:
Conservationists in New York and nationwide will celebrate the 51st anniversary of the Endangered Species Act on Saturday.
Since its passage in 1973, more than 1,600 species in the U.S. have been protected by the law. New York’s piping plover and numerous other grassland birds have seen their populations rebound and backers credit this legislation.
Susan Holmes, executive director of the Endangered Species Coalition, said bald eagles are a great example of the law’s conservation impacts.
