True or False: The Lacey Act pertains to illegal interstate traffic of wildlife.

The statement is true because the Lacey Act, enacted in 1900, prohibits the illegal trafficking of wildlife, fish, and plants. It specifically addresses the transportation of these natural resources across state lines when such actions violate either state or federal laws. This means that if wildlife is taken illegally in one state, it cannot be legally transported to another state. The Lacey Act plays a pivotal role in conservation efforts by helping to combat poaching and ensuring that wildlife laws are upheld across state borders.

To add context, this law is not limited to endangered species alone, which makes the third choice inaccurate. It also does not mean that the act is unenforced in California or any specific location; rather, it is a federal law that applies nationwide, reinforcing protections for wildlife in all states.
