Wild Resource Conservation Act

The Wild Resource Conservation was enacted in 1982. It is kind of like Pennsylvania's personal Endangered Species Act because it was enacted to preserve both endangered plants and animals. To the left is a picture of a plant that is endangered in Pennsylvania called the Paradoxa Echinacea. This act is consequential because it helps to maintain the safety of organisms that are at risk of extinction ("Leo" 2008).
