SECTION 1: Findings
Congress makes the following findings:
1) The controlled and protected areas do not cover enough species of
Alaska even after the expansion in 1980 (National Park Service).
2) Conservation of species is necessary in order to balance the
ecosystem.
3) Alaska has 8 endangered species that need immediate protection
(USFWS).
4) Not many statistics of wild animals are available.
SECTION 2: Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to raise awareness of endangered and
candidates species in Alaska and protect them from extinction. The ultimate
goal is to remove all the species from the endangered list.
SECTION 3: General Provisions
This act will require officials to launch governmental research on statistics of wildlife
in
Alaska every year. The information collected through the research will be announced
every first week of October. Furthermore, it will authorize the states conservation
center to control citizens approach toward certain areas that are considered to be
endangered species habitat. These regulations will make people more consciously
be
aware of wild animals.
Overall, through this act, wild lives will be protected and will improve the ecosystem
of Alaska. Ultimately, it will balance the food chains and give nature to control the
populations of animals independently without human help.
SECTION 4: Definitions
Ecosystem: Community of living organisms, interacting as a system.
Consciously: Intentionally aware of something.
