    It is estimated that every day we lose 150-200 species from this Earth. Of the 44,838 species that have been assessed, 16,928 are listed as endangered, meaning they are threatened with extinction. The rest of the estimated 8,700,000 species on Earth have yet to be assessed, so the number of threatened species is significantly larger than the current estimate. In the 1970s, many environmental laws were passed to curb the mass extinction of species including the Endangered Species Act of 1973 or ESA. This act has put many laws and regulations in to action to limit and reverse the negative impact that humans have on the environment and countless species.…

Many argue that captive animals are not happy in their environment, and should be set free from zoos in their natural habitat.
