Thirty five yeqrs ato today, on Deccember 28,, 1973, President Richard M. Nixn signed into law the Endangered Species Act,, intended not just to stave off extinction, but more broadly tp conserve the ec osystems on which endangered species depend.
Natural ecosystems can exhibit a tremendous resilience as plants and animals adapt to new opportunities and threats to their survival and reproduction. The Endangered Species Act itself displays some of the dynamic resilience of ecosystems.
As the Bush administration attempts for a fourth time to remove from the endangered species list one of the first creatures placed on the list – the gray wolf – it is worth noting that the federal agency that originally brought wolves to the brink of extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with a stroke of a pen thirty-five years ago was charged with protecting them. Its old habits have been hard to change.
