Mirabilis macfarlanei Federally listed species as of January 1, 1995. Thanks to the passage of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the inclusion of plants for the first time, the State of Oregon has been keeping a list of rare, threatened, and endangered plants since the 1979 publication of Rare, T hreatened and Endangered Vascular Plants in Oregon - An Interim Report . Early in 1980 a computerized data bank of Oregon's rare and endangered animal and plant species, the Oregon Natural Heritage Data Base was established in the Oreg on field office of The Nature Conservancy. Conferences have been held regularily since then in order to update the original list, the latest being held in December 1994 in Bend, Oregon. The State of Oregon recognizes the efforts of the participating age ncies and recognizes these lists. Unfortunately for some of the plant populations in Oregon (as in the rest of the world), recognition is not enough. Fortunately, the Native Plant Society of Oregon took up the task of pushing through legislation to protect these endangered plants, and in 1987 their effort was successful and Oregon Senate Bill 533 was passed. This bill put the responsibility for Oregon's native plants on the Oregon Department of Agriculture's Division of Natural Resources, headed by botanist Dr. Bob Meinke. The ODA are charged with monitoring and maintaining Oregon's threatened and endangered plant populations. Currently Oregon has five Federally listed Rare and Endangered plants. This site has a photo and a limited amount of information about four of the five, and we hope to have more information soon.

Providing, for the first time, easily accessible information for the professional naturalist and amateur nature lover alike, this guide highlights the habits and habitats of sixty plants and animals currently listed as endangered or threatened in Kansas and protected by state or federal law. The authors illuminate not only the common bond of these speciestheir precarious statusbut also their widely varying routines, idiosyncrasies, and circumstances. All known Lake Scott Riffle Beetles in the world, they show, spend their lives in one spring area of Western Kansas while the nomadic Whooping Cranes alight only a night or two in the state's central and eastern swamplands during migration.

The authors also list possible causes of species reduction, from loss of habitat through land use change, water diversion, and pollution, to hunting and fishing practices and natural selection.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, concern over the state's dwindling natural resources led to the establishment of such organizations as the Rare Plant Study Center and the Texas Organization for Endangered Species to document the rare plants of Texas. Natural area surveys, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, began in 1973 with the support of the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. qv In 1978 Texas wild rice qv Zizania texana ) became the first Texas plant to be federally listed as endangered.

Guide to Community Planning in Wisconsin by Brian W. Ohm Chapter 10: Natural Resources Last Page Table of Contents Next Page 6. Endangered and Threatened Species Management Ecological systems remain healthy only if a diversity of plants and animals can survive and reproduce. Ecologists have long understood the importance of "keeping all the pieces." Yet, humans are sometimes unaware of the many economic and health benefits we receive as a result of the existence of diverse natural communities. The Legislature recognized this importance in 1977, saying: ...the activities of both individual persons and governmental agencies are tending to destroy the few remaining whole plant-animal communities in the state. Since these communities represent the only standard against which the effects of change can be measured, their preservation is of the highest priority. Since 1973, federal and state laws have enabled the DNR to preserve endangered animals. A 1978 state law extended this protection to include threatened animals and endangered and threatened plants. Endangered species are at risk of becoming extinct in the state. Threatened species are those which are in risk of becoming endangered. Wisconsin law also authorizes the DNR to "conduct investigations of nongame species in order to develop scientific information relating to population, distribution, habitat needs, and other biological data in order to determine necessary conservation measures." On the basis of these scientific determinations, the DNR may promulgate rules and develop conservation programs designed to ensure the continued ability of nongame species to perpetuate themselves.

Bay Area is Home to More than 100 Species on the Federal Endangered and Threatened Species List Spotted a San Joaquin kit fox, California least tern, or Lange's metalmark butterfly while out and about in the Bay Area lately? Anyone who has is among a lucky few: all three Bay Area species are hovering on the brink of extinction. And they are not alone. The Bay Area's California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse have also been almost completely wiped out. Species extinction has reached its highest rate since approximately 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs disappeared. In the Bay Area, the abundance of unique species is rivaled only by their precarious status. Findings * Based on June 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report. Next

Conservation and Forest Management Florida Statewide Endangered and Threatened Plant Conservation Program Federally Listed Plants Project Titles Program Reports Proposal Format The Florida Plant Conservation Program originated in 1992 to work toward the recovery of federally-listed endangered and threatened plant species in Florida. As of October, 1998, Florida had 55 plant taxa listed under the U. S. Endangered Species Act as Endangered (44) or Threatened (11). The Program is funded through grants from the U. S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under Section 6 of the U. S. Endangered Species Act. These grants are given as 75:25 matching funds. Each project is responsible for acquiring the project's match (25%) for the federal funds (75%). The goal of the Florida Plant Conservation Program is to restore and maintain existing populations of listed plants on public land and on private lands managed for conservation purposes. Previous or ongoing projects address demography, monitoring, reintroduction, germination, pollination, and other aspects of population ecology.
