In 1973, Congress enacted the endagered species Act (ESA) to protect plants and animals from extinction. Many methods are used for protection. Residential or commercial developments may be banned in an area that is set aside to protect animal or plant life. People may reintroduce endangered species to aprotected area in hopes of incresing the animals numbers. In addition laws limiting or prohibiting hinting, sishing and similar sports are strictly enforced. which of these would be most likely a rsult of the endangered species Acts?
a- a city ordiance that makes recycling mandatory
b-a protest by environmental activists at a commercial development site
c-the insitution of high occupancy vehicle lanes
d-a ban onlogging in the forest of the pacific northwest
e- sunding for research in antarctica to study earth ozone layer.
I'll be glad to check your answer.

The most likely result of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would be:
d- a ban on logging in the forest of the Pacific Northwest
The ESA aims to protect endangered plants and animals from extinction. One way to achieve this is by banning certain activities that could harm their habitats or directly contribute to their decline. Logging, which involves the cutting down of trees, can greatly disrupt and destroy the habitats of endangered species living in the forested areas. Therefore, implementing a ban on logging in the Pacific Northwest would be a measure aligned with the goals of the ESA.
