In the United States, the 【C1】______ to protect plant and animal 【C2】______ has become a 【C3】______ controversial and 【C4】______ political issue since the 【C5】______ of the Endangered Species Act in 1973.

After months of debate and legal battles, the fate of the woodcutters-and the owls was still undecided in mid-1992.
