Endangered Species Act Overview -- Endangered Species Act -- Implementation -- Endangered Species Worldwide -- Legislative Background on Endangered Species -- Opioid Legislation -- Water Resources -- Teen Vaping -- Border Wall Funding -- Are Proposed Regulatory and Legislative Changes to the Endangered Species Act Warranted? PROs: U.S. Department of the Interior, Honorable Matt Mead, Honorable John Barrasso; CONs: Honorable Tom Carper, Defenders of Wildlife, Virginia Department of Natural Resources.
On January 1, 1970, in response to growing public concern for the environment and the effects of industrial pollution, President Richard Nixon signed into law the National Environmental Policy Act, establishing the President’s Council on Environmental Quality. Soon after that, the Environmental Protection Agency was formed, Americans celebrated the first Earth Day, and Congress passed a flurry of environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and, in 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The ESA enjoyed near unanimous support at the time of its passage. The House report called the value of the genetic heritage protected by the ESA “quite literally, incalculable,” adding, “Sheer self-interest impels us to be cautious.” During the signing ceremony, President Nixon said, “Nothing is more priceless and more worthy of preservation than the rich array of animal life with which our country has been blessed…”
