A grizzly bear roams near Beaver Lake on July 6, 2011, in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. Fifty years after the Endangered Species Act took effect, environmental advocates and scientists say the law is as essential as ever. Habitat loss, pollution, climate change and disease are putting an estimated 1 million species worldwide at risk. (AP Photo/Jim Urquhart, File)
