What responsibilities do we as humans have to other species?

Humans have a large responsibility to other creatures, we have the technology, intelligence, and research available to us that can save endangered species. Moreover, human beings have played a large role in the demise and endangerment of many of the endangered and extinct species. It is important to take care of and conserve ours and their habitats. There is actually an Endangered Species Act (1973), Wilderness Act, Endangered Species Conservation Act (1969), and Endangered Species Preservation Act (1966) each had been amended to meet criteria so it would not jeopardize the plant and animal life. That is why today we have the Wildlife Reserves and National Parks to minimize conflict with recreational fisheries and other species.
