The Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973. It was passed to protect species that were on the brink of extinction. Many animals have been placed on this, few have been removed. The Bald Eagle is considered to be a symbol of this Law's success! Flying High 5500 breeding pairs in th lower 48 states!
