The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is a law that was passed in the United States in order to protect endangered species. This law was signed by President Richard Nixon in 1973, and it was designed to limit the damage caused by economic growth and development. This was an important step in conservation in the country, and it was considered to be the most comprehensive legislation for the preservation of species of any nation. The law not only defends the animals themselves, but also the ecosystems upon which these animals depend.
