Breeding And Conserving Endangered Canids - National Zoo| FONZ Breeding and Conserving endangered African wild dogs and Maned Wolves Nine of19 species in the world are listed as threatened or endangered, and http://nationalzoo.si.edu/conservationandscience/reproductivescience/canids.cfm
Extractions: The National Zoo's Wild Canid Project focuses on studying the biology of wild canids to improve reproductive success and to maintain self-sustaining zoo and wild populations. Diverse and Increasingly Rare From the two-pound fennec fox that survives the rigors of Arabian deserts to the 175-pound timber wolf that ranges throughout the wild reaches of the Northern Hemisphere, canids (dog-like mammals) are a diverse and wide-ranging family of mammals. Yet these charismatic cousins of our oldest and most faithful companion, the domestic dog, are rapidly disappearing. Nine of 19 species in the world are listed as "threatened" or "endangered," and several are near extinction due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, and disease. Yet, compared to other carnivores (wild cats and bears), canids receive less public and conservation attention. And amazingly, the reproductive biology of wild canids (the essence of their survival) continues to be a mystery.
Endangered And Threatened Species Recovery Program Blackfooted ferrets prey almost exclusively on prairie dogs. In 1991, ferretswere reintroduced into the wild in Wyoming for the first time. http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/wildlife/recoprog/states/species/mustnigs.htm
Extractions: Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center Home Site Map About ... Web Help *Extirpated from the wild in South Dakota. Black-footed ferrets prey almost exclusively on prairie dogs. The primary threat to the ferret's recovery is the continued loss of prairie dog colonies, principally from poisoning. Such poisoning degrades and fragments ferret habitat, resulting in only small islands of prairie dog colonies. Very few sites have been identified as suitable for ferret reintroduction. Success of the captive breeding program for the ferret has exceeded all expectations, yielding enough animals to support a ferret reintroduction program. In 1991, ferrets were reintroduced into the wild in Wyoming for the first time. Plans are under way for a draft environmental impact statement and proposed rule on reintroducing a nonessential experimental population of black-footed ferrets into Badlands National Monument and adjoining areas of Buffalo Gap National Grasslands in western South Dakota. The Fish and Wildlife Service will seek public involvement in the environmental impact statement process and any reintroduction proposal. The Service is also involved in an important section 7 consultation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the Rosebud, Cheyenne River, and Pine Ridge Indian Reservations in South Dakota. The consultation involves proposed Federal action in poisoning prairie dogs to reduce perceived competition with livestock for forage. The Service is encouraging the tribes to develop prairie dog management plans for each reservation to allow for control of prairie dogs while conserving sufficient numbers to aid in ferret recovery.
SchoolWorld Endangered Species Project: Mexican Gray Wolf endangered/threatened species Report wild dogs Wolves, Coyotes, and Foxes.Toronto Kids Can Press Ltd., 1997. Lawrence, RD Wolves. http://www.schoolworld.asn.au/species/mxwolf.html
Extractions: Nickname: Lobo The Mexican Gray Wolf is a warm-blooded mammal. The Mexican Gray Wolf is a large dog-like carnivore. The coat on the wolf is a mixture of brown, rust, black, gray, and white. Mexican Gray Wolves have a distinct white lip line, chin and throat. Adult gray wolves are around three feet tall and almost 6 and 1/2 feet long. They weigh about 100 pounds. Females are about 6 feet long and weigh 50-75 pounds. They will eat a mouse or a moose and everything in-between. Their most common food though is deer, moose, elk, and occasionally rabbits, beavers, hares, and other small rodents. Wolves have a dominance order that they follow. Every member has a place and if they get out of line the alpha male or female growls at the subordinate, bares his or her fangs, and sometimes gives a harmless nip on the scruff of the neck. The ranking determines how the wolves are treated, who gets to eat first, and which pair mates. There are usually seven or eight wolves to a pack, but they can have more than 20 members. The leaders of the pack, or a wolf family, are called the alpha male and the alpha female. They tend to be the strongest and most experienced wolves in the pack. The leaders are not tyrants; they simply guide the family, determine when they should hunt, select the rendezvous site and home territory, lead the hunt, and charge to the front if they have to defend the young wolves against bears or other predators. The leaders are responsible and put themselves in the most danger.
Colong Foundation For Wilderness Current wild dogs management in NSW aims to protect Dingoes in their core Dingo Populations as endangered under the threatened species Conservation Act, http://www.colongwilderness.org.au/Dingo/Dingopage.htm
Extractions: The Colong Foundation for Wilderness Dingo? Friend or Foe? Current wild dogs management in NSW aims to protect Dingoes in their core habitat areas. But, as the Regulatory Review Committee of the NSW Parliament recently noted, it is however anomalous that the main NSW initiative to conserve existing Dingo populations is being undertaken under an Act that will classify them, statewide, as a pest requiring eradication. This intended protection program will be through plans developed by Rural Lands Protection Boards that are concerned with stock losses, not Dingo conservation. Aggressive eradication of wild dogs and tokenistic conservation efforts are not going to reverse the extinction of the Dingo, which is primarily caused by interbreeding with feral dogs. Meanwhile, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is conducting lethal experiments on endangered Quolls in the wilderness areas of Kosciuszko to justify its wild dog management to farmer critics and is preparing environmental studies to support its aerial 1080 poison baiting programs in the parks of northern NSW.

Untitled Document wild dogs are an endangered species in South Africa, due to the fact that have a negative impact on the future of threatened species such as wild dogs, http://www.africa-geographic.com/adocs/wilddog.htm
Extractions: Marakele National Park, situated near Thabazimbi in the Limpopo Province of South Africa was the site of a Wild Dog re-introduction in May 2003. A pack of 16 Wild Dogs were introduced into the Park and after a successful breeding season the population grew to 31 adults and yearlings in three different packs. These packs are the focus of a Wild Dog research project being conducted by the Endangered Wildlife Trust. Park personnel were alerted to the Wild Dog breakout the following morning and on arrival at the farm they found four dead Wild Dogs with gunshot wounds. A fifth dog was wounded but still alive with its intestines hanging out of a bullet wound in its side. This animal unnecessarily suffered an agonising night and was quickly euthanased by the Park personnel. Photographs of the bodies were taken, as were photographs of the alleged attacked calf. By that time most of the other dogs had returned to the Park and to the den but it was determined that at least five males were still missing. One of these turned up at the den in the evening of 2 July with a severe gunshot injury on its right shoulder and this dog also had to be euthanased. Three additional males retuned unharmed on 3 July, still leaving one animal unaccounted for but presumed to be injured or dead.

The Work Of The People's Trust For Endangered Species for endangered and threatened species and their habitats all over the world, Research shows that the wild dogs are much less likely to prey on http://www.ptes.org/work/projects.html
Extractions: Skip navigation Main navigation Working to preserve wildlife for the future The People's Trust takes on a whole range of projects for endangered and threatened species and their habitats all over the world, as well as here in the UK. This work varies enormously from project to project and can be research into conservation problems or practical conservation work in the field. Bulgarian Institute of Zoology In recent years, greater horseshoe bat populations in Bulgaria have suffered significant losses, and some colonies have disappeared altogether. The Institute of Zoology in Sofia, Bulgaria, has be studying caves in northern Bulgaria to find out more about local populations and to investigate why the species is in decline. Recent findings have shown that there are a number of factors in the decline, including vandalism of habitat, deliberate attacks on individual colonies and the use of insecticides, which has driven the bats from their natural habitat. Armenian Leopard Conservation Society Research on Persian leopards is being undertaken in Armenia, one of the few remaining areas where they are still found in the wild. Using scat counts (locating and counting leopard faecal matter) and lures, the main areas where the leopards are found will be identified. These areas will be known as Priority Leopard Conservation areas, and conservation efforts in these areas will be maximised and a complete strategy developed in order to protect this charismatic species.
Quolls Of Australia - Threatened Species And Communities predation and competition by foxes, cats and wild dogs; and perhaps an Critically endangered the species is facing an extremely high risk of http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/publications/quolls2004.html
Extractions: Department of the Environment and Heritage, 2004 Four species of quoll occur in Australia: the northern, spotted-tailed, eastern and western quolls. Once, most parts of Australia were inhabited by at least one of the species. Captain Cook collected quolls along the east coast in 1770, and recorded "quoll" as their local Aboriginal name. Quolls were often seen by early settlers, who called them "native cat", "native polecat" and "spotted marten", names based on familiar European animals. Since 1770, all four species have declined dramatically in numbers. This is mainly because of habitat loss or change across Australia, and introduced predators such as foxes and cats. Western Quoll illustration Sue Stranger Quolls are carnivorous marsupials with a pointed snout, a long tail and brown to black fur distinctively spotted with white. They are lively, attractive animals, with bright eyes, a moist pink nose and many sharp teeth.
