1 Endangered Species Act Environmental Science
2 Biodiversity Refers to the variety of life Includes: Species richness - number of species Species diversity - measure of number and relative abundance of species
3 Biodiversity Ecosystem I Species A = 33 Species B = 33 Species C = 34 Ecosystem II Species A = 90 Species B = 5 Species C = 5 Species Richness = 3 Species Richness = 3 Higher Diversity Lower Diversity
4 Term Review Extinction - no individuals of species alive Extirpation - species no longer exists in a particular area Endangered-species in imminent danger of extinction Threatened-species likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future
5 Causes of Extinction Overhunting - harvesting faster than reproduce e.g. passenger pigeon, bison, atlantic cod Habitat Destruction - habitat removed by development, degraded by pollution, or fragmented by development Alien Species - Species accidentally or intentionally introduced into a region where they did not occur before. e.g. zebra mussel, chestnut blight
6 Fragmentation Activity Review Catchum manybugs - lives deep forest, not edge 1000 m 1000 m Area= Perimeter= Safe Area= 1,000,000 m m 640,000 m 2 980,000 m m 348,100 m 2
7 Nature Preserve grass forest grass forest gra ss species 1 = 128 species 2 = 128 species 3 = 320 species diversity = 0.59
8 Importance of Biodiversity source of new medicines source of new foods source of ideas - e.g. velcro mental well-being
9 Endangered Species Act Purpose: To protect endangered and threatened species. Enacted in 1973 Under the direction of: US Fish and Wildlife Service NOAA - National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration

17 Candidate Species 184 species which have enough info to warrant posting but others have higher priorities see ESA basics endangered/esa-library/pdf/ ESA_basics.pdf
18 Proposed Species candidate species that were found to warrant of listing and were officially proposed as such in a Federal Register notice 106 see ESA Basics

21 Prohibits Taking Take: to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect or attempt to engage in any such contact. Fines (See ESA basics)
22 Critical Habitat Identify areas with features essential to the conservation of the species. Limits actions by federal agencies Limits federally funded activities (See ESA basics)
23 Incidental Take Permits Permit needed by private landowner to develop land with an endangered species. Requires a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) that shows project will minimize damage to species. (See ESA basics)
24 Other Work with Landowners Safe Harbor Agreements - landowners voluntarily aid in recovery of listed species, can return to baseline Candidate Conservation Agreements - work to reduce or remove threats to candidate species (See ESA basics)
25 Development of Recovery Plans Plans to help a species recover. Work with state, local and nongovernment agencies
