Why is it important for both state and federal agencies to manage recovery programs? What might happen if only state agencies ma
naged the recovery? What might happen if only national agencies managed the recovery? How does a species range (the entire area is lives and roams in) relate to this issue?
The state and federal agencies have agreed to coordinate actions aimed at developing recovery programs in order to restore natural ecosystems. Endangered species recovery plans managed only by states may lead to the development of strategies that are not effective for the recovery of species/populations with broad distribution ranges
Explanation:
In ecology management, recovery plans refer to the strategies aimed at increasing endangered species population sizes. The U.S. Endangered Species Act (USA, 1973) states that species and populations which are considered to be endangered must be protected by implementing coordinated strategies for their recovery and conservation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a classification system to design effective recovery programs. Types of this classification system include Endangered (E) species, Threatened (T) species, Candidate (C) species, Species of concern (SC), and delisted (already extinct) species. The concomitant recovery programs must include 1-the methodology to return the species to a state, 2- a description of the situation where the species has been effectively recovered within one "healthy" state, and 3- the estimation of time and cost efforts for efficient recovery.
Epidemiology is the branch of medicine which deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health.
