Anniversary of a great conservation law

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act signed; into law by President Richard Nixon December 28th,1973

With this law, even the Whooping Crane was pulled from the brink of extinction among others the Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon,species we take for granted today.
