Endangered Species: 100 Success Stories
The U.S. Senate declared May 18, 2007, Endangered Species Day to encourage people “to become educated about, and aware of, threats to species, success stories in species recovery, and the opportunity to promote species conservation worldwide.” The resolution mentions a few of the Endangered Species Act’s most well known successes, for example -- the bald eagle’s increase from 416 to 9,789 pairs between 1963 and 2006. This is just one of the hundreds of species whose populations have soared thanks to the Endangered Species Act. A recent study of all endangered species in the Northeastern United States found that 93% increased or remained stable since being placed of the endangered list. Few other laws can boast that kind of success. In celebration of Endangered Species Day this site presents 100 recovery success stories.
