Happy 38th Birthday to...the Endangered Species Act! →

motherjones:

There are currently 1900 species listed under the ESA, 1,380 of which can be found in the United States. 

If you can name them all, you will win our undying respect and/or fear.

Um….Florida panther, Pseudorca crassidens, Yaqui Chub, Mexican long-nosed bat, Pikeminnow…hmmmm…that’s all I’ve got. Shameless plug: Kim Tingley covers these and other wildlife and endangered species regularly on her Species Watch blog.

   And yet 10,000 species go extinct every year. Clearly more protection is needed to defend against the human take over.

   OMG, I found something on Tumblr that’s older than me - the ESA!
