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 "
Big Bend Fact Sheet - Threatened & Endangered threatened endangered. Big Bend National Park is a diverse area The endangeredMexican longnosed bat, Leptonycteris nivalis, is a nectar feeder. http://www.nps.gov/bibe/teachers/factsheets/threatened.htm
Extractions: Big Bend National Park is a diverse area containing over 1,200 species of plants, 11 species of amphibians, 56 species of reptiles, 40 species of fish, 76 species of mammals, 450 species of birds and about 3,600 species of insects. The park boasts more types of birds, bats, and cacti than any other national park in the United States. Within Big Bend National Park, seven species are officially considered federally threatened or endangered. The Big Bend mosquito fish, Gambusia gaigei , is an endemic species. The only place in the world it is found is a few ponds near the Rio Grande Village. This tiny endangered fish is at risk from exotic species competition and diminishing habitat. Although never abundant, the Big Bend gambusia population is now considered stable. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service moved some of the Gambusia gaigei to a fish hatchery in Dexter, New Mexico, in the event that something should happen to the population in Big Bend National Park and a source to restock the park became necessary. Two endangered birds are found in Big Bend. Both are considered stable populations. The black-capped vireo

A number of rock outcrops, which present woodrat habitat, have not yet been surveyed. Surveys should be conducted at all potential sites to confirm or deny presence. Typically rock outcrops do not receive much human impacts that would pose a threat to populations of woodrats, but a 1,000-foot buffer should be enforced when considering all proposed activities.

Extractions: Federal Status: Endangered With the coming of spring, Indiana bats disperse from their winter homes, known as hibernacula, some going hundreds of miles. They feed solely on flying insects and presumably males spend the summer preparing for the breeding season and winter that follows. Females congregate in nursery colonies, only a handful of which have ever been discovered. These were located along the banks of streams or lakes in forested habitat, under the loose bark of dead trees, and contained from 50-100 females. A single young is born to each female, probably late in June, and is capable of flight within a month. With luck, it may approach the ripe old age of 31, a record set by the little brown bat. In August or early September, Indiana bats swarm at the entrance of selected caves or mines. This is when mating takes place. Sperm is stored in the female's body; eggs are fertilized in the spring. Like other hibernating species, the Indiana bat accumulates layers of fat which sustain it over the winter period of dormancy. Indiana bats spend the winter months in secluded caves or mines which average 37 to 43 degrees F. Criteria for selecting hibernacula are not clearly understood; many apparently suitable sites are not occupied. Where this species is found, however, it can be extremely abundant, congregating in densities of more than 300/square foot. Year after year, bats often return to exactly the same spots within individual caves or mines. Hibernation can begin as early as September and extend nearly to June.

Envirothon - Www.wvca.us A survey in 1991 located the first endangered gray bat in the Mountain State;however, Reference threatened and endangered Wildlife in West Virginia. http://www.wvca.us/envirothon/w8.html
Extractions: Fifteen West Virginia animals are in need of attention to increase critically low populations. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has designated these species as "threatened" or "endangered." These designations stem from the provisions of the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973. The USFWS, USDA Forest Service, USDI National Park Service, and Wildlife Resources Section (WRS) of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources are the agencies directly involved with the protection and recovery of these species in West Virginia. West Virginia has no State endangered species legislation; therefore, the only species listed as threatened or endangered in the State are those listed as such by the Federal government. An endangered species is one that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a portion of its range. Its population level is so critically low and/or its habitat is so degraded that immediate action must be taken to avoid the loss of the species. Twelve West Virginia animals have been designated as "endangered." This bird once nested in West Virginia and throughout much of the United States and Canada. The peregrine's decline in the 1940s and 1950s and total elimination in Eastern North America were due primarily to the widespread use of DDT and related pesticides. These chemicals interfered with eggshell production and severely reduced nesting success. Since the use of DDT was restricted in the early 1970s, captive breeding and reintroduction of peregrines by Federal, State, and private wildlife agencies have made a good start in the reestablishment of peregrine falcons.

Extractions: Endangered Species/Wildlife Income Tax Check-Off The "Endangered Species/Wildlife Income Tax Check-Off Fund" is a fund that was created in 1993 by the legislature to allow Connecticut state income taxpayers to voluntarily donate portions of their tax refund to support efforts aimed at helping Connecticut's endangered species, natural area preserves and watchable wildlife. Citizens can also contribute directly by sending a check payable to "DEP-Endangered Species/Wildlife Fund" to: Department of Environmental Protection Hartford, CT 06106 Since the inception of the Check-off, a number of projects have been funded in the areas of habitat restoration, inventory, monitoring and education. The following projects are some that have been totally or partially funded by the State of Connecticut "Endangered Species/Wildlife Income Tax Check-off Fund": Endangered Species Wildlife Income Tax Check-off Fund Projects Mammals: Bat Hibernacula Protection: This project involves the study and protection of one of Connecticut's largest known bat hibernaculas. The hibernacula when last surveyed was found to contain more than 1,500 wintering bats. There has been concern that trespassers and vandalism at the site pose a risk to the hibernating bats. The project will identify the critical areas being used by bats and improve or replace the current gating system at the site with bat-friendly gates. This will allow bats free access to the old mine shafts used as wintering sites, but keep trespassers out. The project is a cooperative effort of the landowner, the DEP, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bat Conservation International and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service.

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).
