Predator Conservation Alliance Newsletter Article Home About Us Predator Information Get Involved FWS Identifies Path to Ferret Recovery, Now Agencies Just Need to Follow It By Jonathan Proctor, Spring 2000 Given recent information on the declining status of prairie dog species and the obligatory relationship between prairie dog conservation and ferret recovery, the need to focus greater management attention on sites with the best remaining prairie dog habitats, as well as those that have good future prairie dog management potential, has become urgent. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) took a strong step toward black-footed ferret recovery in 1999 by identifying all prairie dog complexes that may qualify as eventual ferret reintroduction sites (ferrets live in prairie dog burrows and eat prairie dogs). The list includes nine primary, seven secondary, and several long-term potential reintroduction areas. Now that we know where to focus our ferret recovery efforts, we must ensure that all of these sites are managed for eventual ferret reintroductions. As of today, ferrets live in the wild in only six places in the U.S, and only one site is considered to have a strong chance of success. In order to be downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened" under the definitions of the Endangered Species Act, the black-footed ferret needs to be successfully restored to at least 10 locations. Ferret populations need a prairie dog complex of at least 10,000 acres to ensure long-term survival. Identifying 10 sites has proven to be impossible since 10 areas of this quality probably no longer exist. But the new FWS list acknowledges this fact and therefore recommends that several more sites be managed for increased numbers of prairie dogs so that they will qualify in the near future.

Montana Montana Homepage About the Chapter Chapter News Places We Protect ... Conservation Buyers Ferrets are being reintroduced near the Conservancy's Matador Ranch Black-footed ferret B lack-tailed prairie dogs once lived in colonies that stretched across an estimated 100 million acres of the Great Plains. Black-footed ferrets were one of their primary predators. Both species drastically declined with human settlement. Today, the Conservancy’s Matador Ranch and the surrounding prairie of southern Phillips County are a focal point for ferret/prairie dog recovery efforts. Plans call for the release November 9, 2001 of 20 young ferrets from a captive breeding facility onto Bureau of Land Management land leased by the Matador Ranch. "We’re very excited to be part of a team that’s made a huge commitment to get this work done," says Linda Poole, the Conservancy’s Matador Ranch manager. Poole has been working with the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and a variety of other people on the recovery effort. "This whole effort is a balancing act involving meeting the needs of endangered species, local communities, regulatory agencies, local ranchers, environmentalists, and recreationists. It’s a complex challenge, but we’re making strikes in the right direction," says Poole.

Email Webmaster Search for: Summer Wildlife Outings DESERT TORTOISE On Friday, July 11 th , we will be helping Game and Fish with their reproductive study on desert tortoises. This starts very early in the morning (we have to be at the site by 6am, so it means meeting between 5am and 5:30am) and goes until about mid day. This volunteer work includes some relatively strenuous desert hiking in order to locate and evaluate tortoises. Once you get away from the concrete of the city, it is really not as terribly hot as you would imagine, especially in the early hours of the day. Water, snacks, hat, sunscreen, and long pants are all necessities, however. Desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) live in two locations the Mojave Desert and the Sonoran Desert. This research focuses on the Sonoran desert tortoise. Tortoises have evolved over time to withstand extreme climatic conditions and to survive with little food or water. They feed mostly on native grasses and flowers and hibernate in the winter, when the weather turns cool. If you cannot participate in the field work, but would like to learn more about the desert tortoise and also do more to help, please consider a sponsorship; this will help the Arizona Game and Fish Department with its research and conservation work, including learning more about how the tortoise survives in the desert and what threatens it survival.

Citizen Business Government Visitor ... shop online! 2362 Highway 34 Wheatland, Wyoming 82201 is located on Highway 34 about 35 miles southwest of Wheatland and 45 miles northeast of Laramie. Sybille's Beginning: In 1948, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department purchased 3,081 acres of land, known at the Johnson Creek Wildlife Habitat Management Area to serve as winter range for mule deer and to provide the public with recreational opportunities. To address the needs for wildlife research, a field research facility needed to be developed to work with the Department's research laboratory at the University of Wyoming. The Johnson Creek WHMA purchase was ideal for developing such a research facility. It provided easy access, adequate space for pastures and confinement areas, and possessed diverse terrain, cover and weather conditions. Its proximity to the University and supporting facilities also made its location optimal. The development of the research facility began in 1952 under the direction of Floyd Blunt and continues today. Leading the Way in Wildlife Research: Sybille was the first facility of its kind and remains one of the country's leading state wildlife research facilities. It is not a game refuge or preserve. Activities and projects at Sybille are specialized and of a practical nature rather than research for research sake. Studies at Sybille are keyed to the needs of game and habitat management and organized to answer questions and develop techniques that can be directly applied to wildlife management in the state. Past, present, and future studies include wildlife diseases such as brucellosis, chronic wasting disease and pasteurellosis (pneumonia) in bighorn sheep, endangered species capture and propagation, nutrition, physiology, and genetics. Efforts are continuously being made to develop improved handling, anesthesia, and general wildlife techniques. Sybille has contributed more than 170 research projects to conservation since its founding in 1972.

Image courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control. Looking for the green-eyed, reflective shine of the black-footed ferret, the director of Prairie Wildlife Research and U.S. Forest Service personnel will be setting traps. Since the animals are nocturnal, the trapping expedition will begin after 9 p.m. and finish by sunrise the next morning in the Conata Basin near Wall, Livieri said. "I've been doing this for eight to nine years; and, I'm more comfortable working at night than in the daytime," he said. "We plan on releasing about a dozen of them, give or take a few," Greg Jackson said. Jackson, a biologist with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's Game, Fish and Park Service, has worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to create a haven for the ferrets.

93. Interagency Agreement Among The U.S. Fish And Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Serv within a time period that would allow for release of blackfooted ferrets in the US Fish and wildlife Service Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (PL 93 http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/nebraska/gpng/conata_mou.html

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT AMONG THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE U.S. FOREST SERVICE and NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Purpose To establish an understanding between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the National Park Service (NPS) regarding the agency's roles and responsibilities in the planning and possible implementation of black-footed ferret reintroduction in the Conata Basin/Badlands area in South Dakota. This includes the preparation of a reintroduction plan and appropriate environmental compliance documents. The provisions of this agreement are limited to NPS and USFS lands within the Conata Basin/Badlands area consisting of Badlands National Park (BNP) and Buffalo Gap National Grassland (BGNG). Background Information The last confirmed black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) sighting in the Conata Basin/Badlands area of South Dakota was a roadkill in 1965. This project would assess the reintroduction of captive bred ferrets back into their former habitat and, if deemed appropriate, carry out that reintroduction. Although there is a close relationship between back-footed ferrets and black-tailed prairie dogs, no substantive changes in prairie dog management are proposed. Current prairie dog management direction for the area is provided in the Land and Resource Management Plan for the BGNG (amendment #5, August 1989) and the Natural Resource Management Plan for BNP (may, 1991 Draft). All released ferrets and their resulting populations will be designated as "experimental", those outside BNP will also be designated "non-essential" (subject to the provisions of the final rule).

KOVR 13 / QUESTION OF THE DAY / RESPONSES Should California legalize ferrets? 80% Yes: 20% No: "Sure. I am by no means a ferret lover, but I do question a state that won't allow ferret ownership but will allow us to own pit-bulls. I've heard arguments that ferrets are actually wild animals. When was the last time anyone - in any state - saw a wild ferret? They are also affraid that ferrets will be released into the wild, and then we will have feral ferrets in our open spaces... Well which is it? Are they wild, and supposed to in the wild, or are they domesticated animals that we fear will be released. Because it would seem to me that releaseing an animal into the wild that is supposed to a wild animal in the first place isn't an issue." Ryan / Sacramento, CA "Yes. There is no reason to make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens, simply for their choice of domesticated companion animal. Are 48 other states wrong" Karen Pinney / Roseville, CA "No. We already have enough weasel-like creatures in the state!! The Davis Administration and state legislature are full of them!!"

United States Animal Health Association 1997 Committee Reports Report of the Committee on Rabies Eight members were present and 30 guests attended the meeting at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, October 20, 1997, in the Wilson Room, Galt House East, Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Michael Neizgoda presented a paper entitled "Pathogenesis of Bat Rabies Variants in Domestic Ferrets." Mr. Niezgoda emphasized the concern of public health officials over the management of ferrets that bite humans in regards to the potential risk for rabies. The data presented by Mr. Niezgoda are part of a continuation of studies investigating the pathogenesis of rabies in domestic ferrets. Twenty-four ferrets were divided into two groups (n=12 per group). Ferrets in group 1 were inoculated intramuscularly with the big brown bat (Eptesicus fucus) variant of rabies virus and ferrets in group 2 received the Brazilian free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) variant of rabies virus via intramuscular inoculation. Nine of 12 of the ferrets infected with the big brown bat (Eptesicus fucus) variant of rabies virus were euthanatized with severe clinical signs of rabies; mean incubation period was 20 days (range 16 to 22 days); and the mean morbidity period was 3 to 4 days (range 2 to 6 days). Ten of 12 bats infected with the Brazilian free-tailed bat

But this is not a manhunt for an escaped convict. "If you see green you have got a ferret," Brian Maxfield, sensitive species biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, explains on a recent nighttime adventure. "If it's red, it's a rabbit. Coyotes are kind of yellowish." Since 1999, biologists from the state Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Utah State University have gathered at this dusty destination, 30 miles southeast of Vernal, for the annual black-footed ferret survey. Four years after the program began, experts say Utah's effort to revive the rare ferret is a success if somewhat hard to quantify. On this night, Maxfield waves a spotlight across the landscape, while keeping the truck's speed up just enough to avoid the huge cloud of dust trailing the vehicle.

Personalize this site WATCHABLE WILDLIFE Etiquette R ecognizing that wildlife viewing is a favorite recreational activity of most Coloradoans, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has established a program to encourage and facilitate "Watchable Wildlife." Nearly all wildlife is "watchable wildlife," if you have the patience. The Colorado Division of Wildlife lists some good-sense rules for wildlife watching etiquette: 1. Observe animals from a safe distance. Get close by using binoculars, a spotting scope or a camera with a telephoto lens. You probably are too close if animals are looking at you with head up and ears pointed toward you or are "jumpy" when you move or make a noise. If you see these signs, sit quietly or move slowly away until the behavior changes. Be especially sensitive to adults with young. 2. Move slowly and casually, not directly at wildlife. Allow animals to keep you in view; do not surprise them. 3. Never chase or harass wildlife; Harassment of wildlife is unlawful. 4. Leave pets at home.
