In 1973, Congress enacted the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to protect plants and animals from extinction. Many methods are used for protection. Residential or commercial development may be banned in an area that is set aside to protect animal or plant life. People may reintroduce endangered species to a protected area in hopes of increasing the animals' numbers. In addition, laws limiting or prohibiting hunting, fishing, and similar sports are strictly enforced. Which of these would be most likely a result of the Endangered Species Act?
Which of what?
What does Antarctica have to do with this question?
actually i too need the answer to this question. lol
The most likely result of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would be the banning of residential or commercial development in an area set aside for the protection of animal or plant life.
To determine this, we can refer to the information provided and use critical thinking to analyze the different methods used for protection under the ESA. The options mentioned include banning development, reintroducing species, and enforcing laws related to hunting and fishing.
While all of these methods are implemented under the ESA, the banning of development is the most direct means to protect habitat and prevent the destruction of ecosystems where endangered species may reside. By preserving their natural habitats, we can ensure the survival and potential recovery of threatened or endangered species. This is why it is a common approach under the ESA to designate protected areas where development is limited or prohibited.
