Do exotic species affect native species in an ecosystem? How?
No - they interact just fine
Yes, they will become predators, parasites and will compete for food sources
Yes, they will destroy everything in their paths!
No, everyone shares, right??
What is the Endangered Species Act
A law passes in 1973 to protect plants and animals in danger of extinction
A law passes in 1973 to protect only animals in danger of extinction
A law passes in 1973 to protect only plants in danger of extinction
A law allowing hunter to use parts of animals ONLY IF the animal is unharmed
