What is the endangered species act?
[Edit]

Answer

The Endangered Species Act (7 U.S.C. § 136, 16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.) of 1973 or ESA was the most wide-ranging of dozens of United States environmental laws passed in the 1970s in an attempt to halt or reverse the degradation of the environment. The act is designed to protect critically imperiled species from extinction due to "the consequences of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation".
