“The extinction of a single species can affect many other species, especially humans, who depend on marine, estuarine, and riverine environments for food, commerce, medicine, and recreation.”

“between 2016 and 2018 alone, there were almost 150 attempts to undercut the ESA”

“all of the remaining 91 endangered species (57%) can be adequately protected through increased conservation on a combination of undeveloped public and private lands”

“When populations decline, it can signify underlying issues such as habitat destruction, pollution, or climate change, which, if unaddressed, can threaten the stability of the entire ecosystem and many other species.”

“Thus, the lack of implementation may be a more significant problem than the quality of the recovery plans.”

“believes the most important thing one can do is to put pressure on Congress and elected leaders to create land management, pollution and other sustainable policies that will protect biodiversity and the environment.”

“The tools and methods of synthetic biology could be the future of a new precision conservation.”

Both of these quotes display the domino effect of losing a species in an environment.

With the lack of implementation, the tools and methods are irrelevant.

By putting pressure on government leaders, we can increase the conservation of public and private lands to increase the protection of endangered species habitats.

Putting more pressure on leaders will spark more implementation of plans, laws, practices etc. which will aid in protecting endangered species. Leaders like these usually have a lot of followers so it will be easier to make these rules and plans stick.
