What is the Endangered Species Act? Describe one of its successes and explain some of the current controversies surrounding it.
frutty [35]

Answer:

The Endangered Species Act was formulated in 1973. This Act was made in order to protect the threatened and endangered species of both plants and animals and also to protect the habitats in which these species live.

One of the major success was that there were many species which actually recovered from this act. For example, the population of the Kirtland's warbler increased from 210 to 1415 from 1973 to 2005.

One of the major controversies which arose from this act was that the critics claimed that this act failed to show major recovery of animals. Out of the total 2000 endangered species listed, only 28 species were properly recovered.

I'll mark brainest for anyone that can answer this (definition of monocotyledon plant)​
atroni [7]

Plants with just one cotyledon are said to be monocotyledons. They also include floral segments that are multiples of three. This implies that their blooms may be made up of sepals instead of petals, or they may have three, six, or nine petals. Additionally, they have accidental roots. These are roots that may sprout from nearly any portion of the plant that comes into touch with the soil, such as the stem.

For instance, garlic plants, spiderwort, etc.
