Abstract:

In 1966, the country did a remarkable thing; it adopted the first of a series of laws and amendments designed to save wildlife. Most of the states have followed the federal government's lead in enacting their own laws and programs to protect locally endangered species. Bass discusses what the laws do and don't do. The article includes the federally listed endangered plants and animals in North Carolina.
