Canadian Wildlife Service (CSW) Québec region See also Threatened species in Québec A National Approach to Endangered Species Conservation in Canada Over the last 20 years, Canadian governments and private conservation agencies have devoted increasing attention to species at risk. Two committees have been set up to combat species loss: the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) and the Recovery of Nationally Endangered Wildlife (RENEW) Committee. The role of COSEWIC is essentially to determine which species are at risk, and that of RENEW is to co-ordinate plans for their recovery. This program has yielded promising results. Yet from a national viewpoint, initiatives have been somewhat haphazard and disorganized. It seems clear that the current approach is not up to the challenge of the future. Wildlife officials of the federal, provincial and territorial governments have therefore drawn up a proposed National Approach to Endangered Species Conservation in Canada. This national approach would embrace species of all classifications. The process of identifying species at risk will be more objective and open to public participation. Species at risk would receive intergovernmental attention as necessary, while species and populations of local interest would be the responsibility of the appropriate jurisdiction.

Kit Bond, R-Mo., wants to let river managers move the nests of endangered birds to avoid an additional costly stop for barge traffic along the lower Missouri. Environmental groups said Bond's proposal was "a death sentence" for the birds. Because of the Endangered Species Act, water levels could not be raised last summer when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service blocked relocation of the nests of about 270 eggs or chicks that would have been flooded. Bond filed an amendment to the $390 billion spending bill moving toward passage in the Senate, tying the agency's hands. Lawmakers expect to vote late Thursday on the measure. Officials in Missouri and other downriver states are battling upstream officials over a much bigger issue: whether to permanently return the Missouri to a more natural ebb and flow to protect threatened and endangered birds and fish. Drought has led officials throughout the river basin to unite in an effort to make it easier to move the birds' nests. A coalition representing all the river states last week asked the Fish and Wildlife Service to consider moving nests to meet desired water levels over the summer.

You can find a particular species or group set of species by specifying a number of different criteria. You can select species by either picking a family (listed in taxonomic order), entering free text for a genus, species or common name (in English only as this stage, although common names in other languages will be added in the future). For example, to find all cranes, you could enter “%crane” into the common name field (where % is a wild card) or “grus” into the genus field or select “GRUIDAE (Cranes)” from the family field. Search can also be restricted by region, country or IUCN Red List category. For example, to select all “extinct” species, tick the extinct check box and click search.

The Official Website Of Yellowstone National Park Planning a Visit Visiting Online Nature History ... Species of Special Concern Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus A translation of the scientific name of the Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) literally means "white-headed sea eagle". The Bald Eagle is endemic to North America, and the national symbol of the United States of America. Previously classified as an endangered species under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act (1973), the Bald Eagle was down-listed or "reduced in status" from endangered to threatened as of July 1995. Due to the banning of DDT (a dangerous chlorinated hydrocarbon chemical responsible for eggshell thinning) from the environment coupled with significant population gains made by the Bald Eagle over the last two decades, this bird is expected to be de-listed or "removed" from the endangered species list as of the fall of 2000 or the winter of 2001. Adult Bald Eagles are relatively easy to identify. They are chocolate brown bodied raptors with a pure white head and tail, including an unfeathered tarsi and a massive yellow beak. It typically takes Bald Eagles 5 years to acquire definitive adult plumage. Immatures come in a variety of plumages based on age. Darker-headed, darker breasted birds being of younger age classes, with 3-4 year old birds being lighter colored in the head, beak and tail. Adult male Bald Eagles are smaller than females, weighing 8-9 pounds compared to 10-14 pound females.

Endangered and Threatened Bird Species at the Tijuana Estuary California least tern Western snowy plover Light-Footed Clapper Rail Least bells vireo ... Beldings savannah sparrow California Least Tern ( Sterna antillarum browni The California least tern is a once abundant, migratory sea bird that resides in coastal California and Baja California, Mexico to breed and raise its young. California least terns are small graceful flyers, sometimes seen hovering and diving into the water. They eat mostly small fish from nearshore ocean waters and shallow estuaries and lagoons. The birds winter in the south, but no one knows exactly where. There have been some reports of sightings off the Central American coastline. Males and females look alike but their vocalizations are different. The California least tern was added to the State and Federal endangered species list in 1970. Since than, efforts have been made to identify and protect breeding sites and adjacent water areas. The California Department of Fish and Game began annual population censuses in 1973, and fledgling success monitoring in 1978. Nesting and Breeding Historic nesting sites were primarily sandy, ocean beach strand areas near estuaries and river mouths. Such beaches and coastal nesting opportunities for the least tern have become intensively disturbed or eliminated by human activities, such as seaside recreation, roads, marinas, ports and houses. Because of this disturbance, least terns are more vulnerable. The biggest problems associated with decreased habitat are increased predation by feral cats and other wildlife such as raccoons, crows, and opossums.

89. Monitoring Of Endangered And Threatened Species At Oceano Dunes of threatened and endangered species have suggested that trapping shrikesa speciesprotected under both the endangered Species Act and Migratory Bird Treaty http://www.crowley-offroad.com/Dave_Widell_Editorial.htm

The following Op/Ed was written by California State Parks Deputy Director David L. Widell, Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division in response to the Santa Maria Times article, “ Environmental group threatens State Parks with suit State Parks in Forefront in Management, Monitoring of Endangered and Threatened Species at Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area In response to the many inaccurate, and occasionally false statements made by representatives of the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) in the September 1 edition of the Santa Maria Times, the California Department of Parks and Recreation would like to set the record straight. To date, recognized experts in western snowy plover and California least tern ecology have acknowledged that Oceano Dunes State Vehicle Recreation Area has done more, and continues to do more, to protect these species than virtually any other land management agency along California’s vast coastline. It is for that reason that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has noted the proactive role of ODSVRA in protecting nesting birds through a host of scientifically established protocols. Biologists at California State University, Monterey Bay said the research, management and monitoring of plovers and terns that is taking place at Oceano Dunes “continues to exceed that found at all but a few California beaches.” It is irresponsible for the EDC to issue demands regarding loggerhead shrikes. Although all agree that shrike predation is a concern, none of the regulatory agencies which maintain oversight of threatened and endangered species have suggested that trapping shrikesa species protected under both the Endangered Species Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Actis a complete solution and have cautioned State Parks against rushing to implement such a plan. This does not mean the issue is not being seriously discussed. State Parks anticipates that the partnering agencies, together with members of the Technical Review Team, will make management recommendations on predator management later this year.

Species of SOUTH FLORIDA'S NATIONAL PARKS Published by the in cooperation with the National Park Service Revised by. Oron L. Bass, Jr., and William B. Robertson, Jr. (February, 1995). Introduction and cover by: Shirley Beccue. Introduction Endangered Species Threatened Species INTRODUCTION Threatened, endangered and extinct are words that have become all too common in our 20th century vocabulary. The natural process of species evolution, taking hundreds and thousands of years, has accelerated rapidly since the turn of the century. Today because of man's desire for land and raw materials, his continued pollution and indiscriminate hunting many plant and wildlife species are on the brink of extinction. Nowhere is man's impact on other species more evident than in south Florida. Drainage of wetlands, alteration of overland water flow and hunting have all contributed to species decline. Everglades, once known for its abundant bird life, has seen its wading bird population decline drastically since the turn of the century. The Florida Panther once common throughout the state, today is on the verge of extinction. Within the four National Park areas of Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve and Fort Jefferson National Monument there are 16 endangered and 6 threatened wildlife species. The mere physical boundaries of a National Park do not guarantee a species survival. Maintaining harmony between "20th century progress" and wilderness areas requires research, legislation and public awareness. For the last decade the South Florida Research Center, Everglades National Park, has been studying how changes occurring outside the parks influence the fragile areas within their boundaries. Research going on today may lead to a brighter future for many species.

94. Protecting Threatened And Endangered Species are several other federal laws that protect endangered and threatened species, suchas the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act http://www.hsus.org/ace/16046

About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... Protecting Threatened and Endangered Species Protecting Threatened and Endangered Species USFWS The Endangered Species Act The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted to preserve endangered and threatened species and the habitats on which they depend for survival. An "endangered" species is one that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A "threatened" species is one that is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future. The ESA works in two stages: First, the government protects a species from possible extinction, and then it takes steps to restore the species' numbers to the point where it is no longer threatened. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (and for some species, the National Marine Fisheries Service) is required to list a species as threatened or endangered if its existence is threatened by one or more of the following factors: (1) the present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range; (2) overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; (3) disease or predation; (4) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or (5) other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. A species may also be categorized as a "candidate" for protection if the USFWS finds that an ESA listing is "warranted" but "precluded" by other priorities. What this means in practice is that the USFWS may determine that a species meets the criteria for inclusion on either list, but that the agency has other, higher priority candidates that need more immediate attention.
