Who makes an endangered animal endangered?
To make an animal endangered a lot of people have to contribute. Most of the time people cut down forests for farmland which destroys their habitat and the animals will be forced to find a new place to live. Animals can also be killed by introduced animals or poached by humans. It is bad to have endangered animals and everyone should try to stop killing them. This depends on whether or not you are asking: a) what are the environmental mechanisms that lead a species to being considered at risk of extinction or endangered? The above portion gives a brief idea of that; b) what makes an animal endangered as determined by scientists? This usually involves various ways of measuring population and determining viable survival. c) what makes an animal endangered as determined by the government and legislation that is supposed to be protective? For instance, Canada's Species At Risk Act or SARA puts species into 4 categories requiring different levels of action in order to protect their survival: Extirpated; Endangered; Threatened; and Special Concern. In this case, Endangered has a specific legal meaning. Also, a species may be considered endangered by biologists but that does not always mean the government in question will recognize and protect that species as endangered because of other concerns, which are often political and economic. Current efforts in the United States to delist the Wolf and Steller's Sea Lion are good examples. The organization that CLASSIFIES animals as endangered is the IUCN.
What agency would you contact to report a high number of sightings of an endangered species?
Contact your state Department of Wildlife/Commissariats. If your in the United States, you could also contact the AU'S. Fish & Wildlife Service (the federal branch equivalent to the state agencies). Do some research before you call, just because that species is listed as endangered doesn't mean nobody sees them, so they might be common where you live but rare inter/nationally. Additional Information: Many times a specific endangered species will draw interest from their region, as Manatees are listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species List, but the state of Florida has the Florida Manatee listed as endangered also, and takes special interest in any reports of manatee sightings, their location, their condition, and any old scars. There are several sites, and toll-free numbers, and the public is encouraged to use them for reporting any manatees that have been sighted. While other states might have programs like the state of South Carolina, and it's program setup for the Swallow-tailed Kite, and any sightings of this bird foraging, or nesting are encouraged on their websites, or toll free number. Then there are report forms on-line, such as New Jersey uses with their NJ Endangered and Non-game Species Program, or NJ-ENSP. Working through this department the Metro Wildlife Survey hopes to get a clear understanding of the numbers, and locations of threatened and endangered species through out the state with the help of the people who live there. A final example is South Africa, and a program designed through the University of Cape Town, that allows citizens to report the sighting of rare, unusual, threatened and even endangered birds in a "nonthreatening way". The program hopes to encourage people to participate in protecting their wildlife, even if they are unsure of it's status of endangerment, stating that "If you are not sure if something is worth reporting, then report it." The hope is to build a reporting program with lists of species, and a system of forwarding all information related to any threatened, and endangered species to the appropriate departments. It appears that information for reporting sightings is not consolidated into international programs, but more specific to each region or country, or the species itself.

What is the endangered species act?
The Endangered Species Act is a series of environmental protection laws passed by the United States Congress in 1973, and signed by President Richard Nixon. It was created to protect "critically imperiled" species populations from extinction, along with the ecosystems they live, and breed in. This includes invertebrates, and vertebrates, along with plants, although fungi were not named specifically because they were considered a plant during the time the laws were being written. These new laws were called for by President Richard Nixon, due to the rapid, and varied growth in economics, and technology, along with uncontrolled development, and expansion with little to no regard, or concern for the future of the environment and the creatures living in it. With this "act", Federal Agencies were strictly limited, or completely forbidden from actions that might "jeopardize the continued existence of" those species listed as endangered or threatened. Also there would be no funding, authorizing, or carrying out any actions which might be deemed as threatening, such as; physically harming, harassing, killing, removing, or trapping, those species which are listed on the ESA list, by any governmental agency, corporation, or citizen without a complete permit. Many protections apply to the species' habitats, including appointing "critical habitat" as reserves designated specifically for recovery and research for listed species. The US Fish and Wildlife Services or US FWS, along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA are the administrative bodies of the Endangered Species Act or the ESA.
