I believe that's it's good news to try and remedy a situation rather than accept and watch the world burn.

46 species including Grizzly bears, humpback whales and the Bald Eagle have been classified as no longer endangered due to the ESA protection status

>Passed with bipartisan support in 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is our nation's most effective law to protect species from extinction. Grizzly bears, humpback whales, and bald eagles are just some of the 46 species now listed as recovered under the ESA.

What's the significance of this? There are no emperor penguins anywhere near the continental United States.

To people asking what difference this will make since no one hunts penguins: The Endangered Species Act is also a powerful tool for protecting HABITAT. So the US government could potentially use this to keep US-based companies from engaging in industrial activities in the Southern Ocean that would hurt penguins.

True. But it's important to note that, the ESA has proven to be an alarm bell. The listing tend to help global cooperation to establish strategies to curtail these issues.

The US's lead tends to outreach the rest of the world beyond its borders through its use of use of diplomatic soft power For better or worse mate.
