The Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969 continued to add to the protection of endangered and threatened animals by establishing 2 lists, one for foreign species (species living anywhere outside the United States of America) and the other for native species (species living in the United States). The Act of 1969 did not allow animals that were listed on the foreign species list to be brought into the United States. The Act also did not allow the purchase or sale of any animal taken (killed) illegally.
