Extractions: in Big Bend National Park We humans may be too successful. In expanding over the earth, we have extinguished many forms of life and threatened the existence of still others, greatly accelerating the natural rate of extinction. This weakens the system on which all life depends and impoverishes the quality of our life. Fortunately, many countries and groups are taking steps to stop this loss. The National Park Service's role is to provide undisturbed habitat in the United States where all species, including endangered ones, can continue to exist, subject only to the forces of nature. There have been successes, in parks and elsewhere, and this is a symbol of hope. For it signifies that we can stop the worldwide slide of extinction that we started. The effort to halt human-caused extinctions in the United States is guided by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 . This act defines an " endangered species " as any plant or animal species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A "

Extractions: Name: Mexican Long-Nosed Bat Scientific name: Leptonycteris nivalis Range: Southern Mexico though southern areas of Texas Habitat: A colonial species known to find shelter in caves, mines and even hollow trees Status: Endangered, 1991 Diet in the wild: small berries and fruit; the agave appears to be a preferred staple in the diet Diet in the zoo: Same Location in the zoo: In the Texas Wild Exhibit, near the very end General information: Although many misconceptions still exist regarding bats they are known to fly in large groups. These animals also roost in colonies, usually in caves or other sheltered places, like mine shafts, hollow trees or even the attics of homes. Once attached to the ceiling of a building or even parking garage they expel massive quantities of guano (bat excrement) which piles on the ground below. This cultivates large quantities of bacteria, bugs and maggots. This is dangerous for the bat for if it falls to the ground it is usually eaten alive by maggots or other animals. Furthermore, this buildup of guano is dangerous for humans since it releases ammonia which eats away at human lung lining. They are not aggressive animals that attack humans as many people believe. Mexican long-nosed bats are very useful as pollinators for agave growers and farmers alike. Agave is used for the production of mescal, and agave bootleggers represent a serious threat to the animal. Agriculture has also displaced agave habitat. Commercial agave farmers now leave some unharvested rows of plants for the bats.
Gray Bat What Can I Do to Help Prevent the Extinction of Species? Learn Learnmore about the gray bat and other endangered and threatened species. http://midwest.fws.gov/endangered/mammals/grbat_fc.html
Extractions: PDF version Gray Bat The gray bat is an endangered species. Endangered Species are animals and plants that are in danger of becoming extinct. Threatened species are animals and plants that are likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future. Identifying, protecting, and restoring, endangered and threatened species is the primary objective of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species program. What is the Gray Bat? Scientific Name Myotis grisescens Appearance - Gray bats are distinguished from other bats by the unicolored fur on their back. In addition, following their molt in July or August, gray bats have dark gray fur which often bleaches to a chestnut brown or russet. They weigh 7-16 grams. The bat's wing membrane connects to its ankle instead of at the toe, where it is connected in other species of Myotis Habitat - With rare exceptions, gray bats live in caves year-round. During the winter gray bats hibernate in deep, vertical caves. In the summer, they roost in caves which are scattered along rivers. These caves are in limestone karst areas of the southeastern United States. They do not use houses or barns. Reproduction - Females give birth to a single young in late May or early June.

Lubee's goals are: ( 1 ) Promote basic and conservation research on captive bats as models for the conservation of threatened and endangered species. ( 2 ) Make the facilities and collections of animals housed at The Lubee Foundation, Inc. available to the scientific community for research purposes. ( 3 ) Promote the interaction and collaboration among members of the scientific and zoo communities to enhance conservation efforts. ( 4 ) Initiate and promote when possible in-situ programs for the conservation of Old World bats. ( 5 ) Utilize its animal collections to (1) work in conjunction with the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) approved institutions to establish captive breeding programs under the guidelines of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) and (2) supply zoological parks and living museum specimens for purposes of education through exhibition. Investigators are encouraged to conduct research at The Lubee Foundation, Inc. facilities and in the field that will ultimately contribute to the conservation and sound management of wild populations.
Extractions: Cover photo by Gunnar Britse Links in the Table of Contents are to abstracts of selected articles from the magazine. Bat kills are emerging as a major and unexpected problem at wind turbine sites. The issue was brought to a head last month after the death of what scientists describe as an "alarming" and "surprising" number of bats in a single large wind farm over a period of weeks. Deaths of bats at wind power stations is not new, but the recent incident, reported in full in the October issue of Windpower Monthly, is among the worst recorded. The wind industry is being called upon to accept responsibility for the emerging problem and to co-operate fully in dealing with it. "Right now, the picture thats emerging is that bats populations are more at risk from wind turbines than birds," says one of the many scientists studying the kills.

Extractions: Whetstone Springs Parcel Rickard S. Toomey, III, Ph.D. Mixed use commercial development of the Whetstone Springs parcel has the potential to negatively impact the bats of Kartchner Caverns State Park, as well as other, protected, species of bats which inhabit the vicinity of the Caverns. The Whetstone Springs parcel is located in the southeast quarter and the south half of the southeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 24 T18S R19E, immediately adjacent to Kartchner Caverns on its northwest boundary. Several species of bat found at Kartchner Caverns State Park are vulnerable to potential impacts of development in the area of the park. These include two nectar-feeding bats (the lesser long-nosed bat and the Mexican long-tongued bat) and the insectivorous cave myotis. Both of the nectar-feeding species have been afforded protected status. All three of these species are found in the park. The cave myotis and the Mexican long-tongued bat are known to roost in caves on the park. Both of the nectar-feeding bats depend greatly on agave plants as a food source (in particular on Agave palmeri in the area of the park).

Extractions: Endangered and Threatened Species Hawaiian Species Pacific Species Critical Habitat Updates Recovery Plans The Endangered Species Program conserves endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. Conserving endangered and threatened species is necessary to preserve our natural heritage for future generations and to maintain our quality of life. Safeguarding ecosystems benefit all users of ecosystem resources and is essential to maintaining our nation's long term economic prosperity. A species can be listed under one of two categories, endangered or threatened, depending on its status and the degree of threat it faces. Endangered species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of becoming extinct and need protection to survive. Threatened species are those that are declining in numbers and might become endangered if conservation efforts are not immediately taken. As you browse through the endangered species section, you will learn that island ecosystems are very fragile and that island species depend on one another for survival. It will also become apparent that the major causes for the decline of some species are due to urban development, which takes over the limited habitat of native plants and animals, and the introduction of alien species, which compete for food and habitat and sometimes become predators of native species.
