DWR News Release The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 to establish protections for fish, wildlife and plants in the U.S. It has prevented the extinction of hundreds of imperiled species and promoted the recovery of many others. With the ESA now in its 50th year , here's a look at four fish species currently listed under the ESA and how several agencies are working to recover them. There are currently 17 wildlife species in Utah on the federal endangered species list, with nine listed as endangered and eight listed as threatened.
