Legal Protections Laws can be passed to help protect aspecies and its habitat. In the early 1970s, people became concernedabout the growing number of species extinctionsoccurring in the United States. In response to this concern,Congress passed the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973.This act makes it illegal to harm, collect, harass, or disturb thehabitat of any species on the endangered or threatened specieslists. The act also prevents the U.S. government from spendingmoney on projects that would harm these species or theirhabitats. The Endangered Species Act has helped severalspecies, including those shown in Figure 14, recover fromnear extinction.The United States and other countries worldwide haveagreed to work together to protect endangered or threatenedspecies. In 1975, The Convention on International Trade inEndangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, known asCITES, came into existence. One of its goals is to protect certainspecies by controlling or preventing international trade inthese species or any part of them, such as elephant ivory. About5,000 animal species and 25,000 plant species are protected bythis agreement.
