The ESA provides a framework for federal agencies, state governments, and conservation organizations to work collaboratively in conserving threatened and endangered species. Through listing species as endangered or threatened, the Act ensures that appropriate management and conservation measures are implemented to prevent extinction and promote the recovery of these species.
