Minnesota Endangered Species Act

The Minnesota Endangered Species Act is a law designed to protect and recover plants and animals at risk of extinction within the state. It identifies species that are endangered or threatened and implements measures to preserve their habitats, prevent further decline, and promote recovery. The law also helps coordinate efforts among government agencies, scientists, and communities to ensure these species can survive and thrive for future generations. Its goal is to maintain Minnesota’s biological diversity by safeguarding vulnerable species before they disappear entirely.
