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. The act, 【C6】______ to protect species’ living areas, and policies that 【C7】______ land and forests compete with economic interests.

The challenge was 【C10】______ to protect the endangered spotted owl, whose remaining population occupies these forests and 【C11】______ the intact, ancient forest for survival. The problematic situation set the interests of environmentalists 【C12】______ those of corporations and of individuals who 【C13】______ to lose jobs. After months of debate and legal battles, the fate of the woodcutters-and the owls was still undecided in mid-1992.
Similar 【C14】______ exist between the developed and the developing nations.

But the developing countries may be 【C15】______ , with populations growing so rapidly that using the land is a 【C16】______ to temporarily avoid worsening poverty and starvation.
