Threatened Species Act

The Threatened Species Act is a law designed to protect animals and plants at risk of disappearing forever. It identifies species in danger, such as those near extinction, and puts measures in place to prevent their extinction. This can include protecting their habitats, regulating activities that threaten them, and supporting recovery efforts. The goal is to maintain healthy, diverse ecosystems by ensuring vulnerable species are preserved for future generations. The Act provides legal tools and resources to help prevent extinction and promote the recovery of endangered and threatened species.
