Land development projects can have significant effects on endangered species and their habitats. These effects can be detrimental to these species and their ecosystems, and they concern environmental conservationists, regulators, and the general public.
When land is cleared for construction, roads, agriculture, or other purposes, the natural habitats that many endangered species rely on are destroyed or fragmented. This leads to losing breeding, feeding, and sheltering areas for these species.
In order to address these negative impacts and protect endangered species, various laws and regulations have been enacted in many countries. These include the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) which protects the wildlife and U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which protects the environment.
Architects should be aware of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for several reasons:
Class completions are reported to the DBPR.
Continuing Education credits for the 2/28 odd year renewal must be completed by 12/31 even year.
Refer to the Architecture Continuing Education Handbook for additional information.
