Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. The original Endangered Species Preservation Act was passed into law by Congress in 1966, which provided limited protection to species that were native to their given area and equally as limited means for mandated protection. While it was an unprecedented move toward safeguarding with such implementation as land acquisition for protecting existing habitat, the original Act did not go any distance to secure species preservation as the name implies. It was amended three years later in 1969 to incorporate all animals across the globe who were in danger of extinction. This move was particularly critical to a number of exotic species who could no longer be imported under the Act's directive. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

existing specifications as well as created entirely new mandates: * U.S. and foreign species lists were combined, with uniform provisions applied to both [section 4]; * Categories of
"endangered" and "threatened" were defined [section 3]; * Plants and all classes of invertebrates were eligible for protection, as they are under CITES [section 3]; * All Federal
agencies were required to undertake programs for the conservation of endangered and threatened species, and were prohibited from authorizing, funding, or carrying out any action that would jeopardize a listed
species or destroy or modify its "critical habitat" [section 7]; * Broad taking prohibitions were applied to all endangered animal species, which could apply to threatened animals by special
regulation [section 9]; * Matching Federal funds became available for States with cooperative agreements [section 6]; * Authority was provided to acquire land for listed animals and for
