ESA Listings

ESA Listings refer to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) classifications that protect threatened and endangered species in the United States. When a species is listed as endangered, it means it is at risk of extinction, while a threatened species faces potential risk in the future. The ESA aims to conserve these species and their habitats, ensuring that actions like habitat destruction or poaching are minimized. The listings trigger legal protections and conservation efforts to help recover these species, benefiting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
