US EPA Pesticides : Endangered Species Protection Program (ESPP) These questions and answers on the endangered species program were prepared in 1999 for a national workshop on endangered species. The Program has come a long way since 1988 and we hope it will continue to evolve so that endangered and threatened species will be protected in areas where pesticides are in use and that this protection will be accomplished with a minimal impact on pesticide users. The Endangered Species Act is intended to protect and promote the recovery of animals and plants that are in danger of becoming extinct due to the activities of people. www.epa.gov /espp   (721 words)

Critters Threatened & Endangered Species Several federal agencies have programs that specifically provide money for management of endangered species on private lands or have general wildlife habitat enhancement programs in which landowners willing to manage endangered species on their property are more likely to receive funding. Arkansas alligators are still fully protected as a threatened species, but populations are growing thanks to increased protection and a restoration program conducted by the Game and Fish Commission. Other factors in the species' decline include vandalism, cave commercialization, pesticide poisoning, natural calamities such as flooding and cave-ins, loss of caves due to inundation by man-made impoundments and possibly a reduction of insect prey over streams that have been degraded by excessive pollution and siltation. www.agfc.com /critters/endangered_species.html   (1352 words)

UNEP Announces Drive Against Trade In Rare Animals, Pollutants The U.N. Environment Program today announced an initiative launched with other international organizations aimed at blocking illegal trade in endangered species, chemicals and hazardous wastes. Called the Green Customs Initiative, the project focuses on training customs officials to better spot possible illegal items in so-called environmental commodities, a rapidly expanding trade estimated to be worth up to $31 billion annually. In addition to training customs officials, the initiative is meant to improve intelligence gathering and sharing of information among partner organizations (UNEP release, June 2). www.unwire.org /UNWire/20030602/34031_story.asp   (213 words)

The Cruelty In Klamath Hidden from public view was the dark hand of the United Nations' Environmental Program and the matrix of international treaties that imposed the Endangered Species Act on this nation. Congress needs to rescind the Endangered Species Act as lacking any basis in science, as an attack on property rights, and as a threat to the economic stability of this nation. United States, Nevada ranchers who were denied their grazing allotments, water rights, ditch rights of way, all vital to the maintenance of their livestock, had those rights confirmed. www.tysknews.com /Depts/Environment/cruelty_in_klamath.htm   (713 words)

UNEP.doc United Nations Involvement Though the United Nations has never directly addressed the issue it has be indirectly addressed in related topics such as development and endangered species. The committee is mostly concentrated on the United States due to the fact that almost 70% of the animals on the endangered species list are in the American content. For the most part the reason that educational programs have been so unsuccessful in the past is because of the social and cultural barriers that extend beyond a nation’s borders, because of its inherent influence on a population’s mindset. www.hbhsmun.org /UNEP.doc   (2225 words)
