The Endangered Species ActPart 2: Recovery plansThe Endangered Species Act requires the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to develop and implement recovery plans for the conservation and survival of threatened and endangered species that occur in the United States, unless "such a plan will not promote the conservation of the species."Recovery teams, which include representatives of public and private agencies and institutions, among others, are convened to prepare recovery plans. However, the endangered species recovery program is generally hampered by underfunding and political pressures, and as of February 2000, only about 75 percent of listed species had recovery plans.
