Scientists predict that more than 1 million species could go
extinct in the coming decades.
It's been 50 years since Congress passed the Endangered Species Act in 1973 to protect plants and animals in the U.S. from extinction. Over 99 percent of the more than 1,600 species listed as endangered or threatened have survived.
But the work to protect our nation's biodiversity is far from over. Just last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that it was delisting 21 species from the act due to extinction. It included one species of bat and 10 kinds of birds.
We discuss what the Endangered Species Act has accomplished in 50 years and how we should think about the next 50 years of conservation.
