Identify which executive department enforces the Endangered Species Act and one of the significant results of the enforcement of the Act.
What will be an ideal response?
The Endangered Species Act relies on the Department of the Interior and the Fish and Wildlife Service (not the EPA) for enforcement. Significant results include increasing the number of endangered and threatened species on the Fish and Wildlife Service list from 422 two decades ago to 1,311 in 2006; the ESA brought back the bald eagle population from its formerly depleted state.
