Introduced diseases and a century of prairie dog control have brought it to the brink of extinction. With the death of the last of nine captive ferrets at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in 1978, most people feared the species had become extinct. The USFWS listed the eastern timber wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) as endangered in 1967, and the northern Rocky Mountain subspecies (Canis lupus irremotus) as endangered in 1973. In 1978, the legal status of the gray wolf in North America was clarified by listing the Minnesota wolf population as threatened and all other members of the species Canis lupus south of Canada as endangered.

Thanks to the protection afforded by the Act, law enforcement, and public education this magnificent bird has now rebounded to the point where in June 1994, all populations except the extreme southwestern were transferred from the endangered to the threatened species list. Endangered Species Act an Economic and Medical Asset US legislation protecting wildlife and the environment is the finest in the world. It is important that our nation maintain this leadership of which every American can be justifiably proud. In 1973, Congress enacted a comprehensive, model Endangered Species Act (ESA). This legislation has been extremely effective in saving wildlife and plant species in danger of extinction. Non-consumptive Use of Wildlife A Fiscal Boon The economic benefits of preserving species and their environments are numerous. In 1991, whalewatching in the US brought an estimated $37.5 million in direct revenue while an other $155.5 million was earned by associated businesses (WDCS 1991). In Southern New England alone, tourists pay more than $21 million each year to visit whales in their natural environment (Hoyt 1994). Humpback, Fin, and Minke Whales frequent these waters, as well as the occasional Orca and Pilot Whale. One might even be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the highly endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
Extractions: The De Wildt Cheetah Centre was established in 1971 with the aim of breeding endangered species. Over the past two decades the Centre's efforts have resulted in the major achievement of breeding what was once a threatened species, the cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus ). Over the years, nearly 600 cheetah cubs have been born at De Wildt - a dramatic contrast to the days when the cheetah population of South Africa was estimated at a mere 700. While the cheetah project was the base from which the Centre launched its conservation ethic, it soon widened to include other rare and endangered animal species such as wild dog, brown hyaena, serval, suni antelope, blue and red duiker, bontebok, riverine rabbit and vultures - including the very rare Egyptian vulture. Many of these have been successfully bred for later reintroduction into the wild, thus helping to repopulate areas where such species have disappeared or are no longer abundant. Mission
Extractions: Threatened and Endangered Species GLOSSARY biodiversity (biological diversity) : the variety of life on Earth. It refers to the genetic diversity within a species, the variety of the species themselves, and the varieties of ecosystems. The greater the diversity or variety there is in a system, the greater the strength and stability the system has over the long run; diversity strengthens the potential of a population to cope with, or respond to, changes in the environment candidate species : plants and animals for which enough scientific information exists to warrant a proposal for listing as endangered or threatened The candidate designation can be thought of as a population that is teetering on the edge of a critical illness and is being carefully watched; the population is closely monitored to determine if they need to be included on the state or federal threatened or endangered species lists. These populations are not stable, and, in some cases the viability of that species is in question carnivore : an organism that eats only meat. The gray wolf and salmon are examples of carnivores
Extractions: Black-footed ferrets hunt prairie dogs at night, but occasionally they are active above ground during the day. In search of prey, they move along in loping bounds from one burrow to the next. [US FWS Line Art by Robert Savannah] Photograph (39.3 K image) [US FWS Photograph By Rick Krueger] Biologists consider black-footed ferrets to be the most endangered mammal in the United States. Recently, however, thanks to aggressive captive-breeding and reintroduction programs, much progress has been made toward recovering the ferret population. Black-footed ferrets are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae), a distinction they share with weasels, martens, fishers, otters, minks, wolverines and skunks. Larger than weasels, black-footed ferrets are long, slender-bodied animals similar in size to a mink. They are characterized by a brownish-black mask across the face, a brownish head, black feet and legs, and a black tip on the tail. Ferrets' short, buff-colored fur becomes lighter on the underside of their bodies. The middle of the back has brown-tipped guard hairs that create the appearance of a dark saddle. Black-footed ferrets may look like the ferrets found in pet stores but they are actually a different species. Both belong to the weasel family but ferrets sold as pets evolved in Europe, while endangered black-footed ferrets evolved in North America.

Extractions: A co-operative fox and wild dog baiting program involving the NPWS (NPWS), the Nambucca Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Rural Lands Protection Board (RLBP), is being conducted along South Beach (Foresters Beach), Nambucca Heads. Members of the local Aboriginal Community who have successfully completes a Land Management course will be undertaking the program. The Nambucca Shire Council is also supporting this program. Baiting will commence on the 30 December 2002 and continue until the end of February 2003. Chels Marshal of Nambucca Local Aboriginal Land Council said, "This is a positive step towards contined protection of the little tern breeding colony and towards building a co-operative relationship between NPWS, RLPB and the local Aboriginal community". NPWS Coffs Coast Acting Area Manager Greg Wallace said the purpose of the baiting program is to remove from the area foxes and wild dogs that prey upon native wildlife, specifically the threatened little tern colony which breeds on the northern end of the beach.

Extractions: 2004 Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan (Available free on-line, see below This publication updates the CSG's first Canid Action Plan published in 1990, and aims to set the agenda for canid conservation into the 21st century. The first two parts deal with the classification and evolutionary ecology of the canids followed by the latest information on their distribution, biology and conservation status. Currently nine species are threatened with extinction; three are Critically Endangered (Darwin s fox, red wolf and island fox), three are Endangered (Ethiopian wolf, African wild dog and dhole) and three are Vulnerable (dingo, bush dog and Blandfords fox). Part three of the Plan considers major issues in canid conservation, including exploitation and disease management and part four outlines the actions needed. The projects and actions that are the priorities for canid conservation for the next 10 years are presented in a simple summary format. A realistic list of measures has been identified, ones that have a good chance of being implemented to improve the conservation status of canids, rather than an idealistic wish list.

The first threatened animal to be cloned was the cattle-like Asian gaur ( Bos frontalis ). Advanced Cell Technology (ACT), a Massachusetts-based company, used its experience in cattle cloning to produce a gaur clone using a cow as an embryo recipient (when cloning a threatened species, researchers perform an 'interspecies embryo transfer,' which means the cloned embryo is transferred to a recipient of a different, though related, species). Noah, the gaur, was born in January 2001, and died of dysentery two days later. For more information about ACT, visit their
Timber Wolf Timber wolves, also called gray wolves, are the largest wild members of the dogfamily. Excerpt from THE endangered AND threatened VERTEBRATE species OF http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/factsheets/mammals/wolf.htm
Extractions: Weight: 50-100 pounds/average for adult males is 75 pounds, average for adult females is 60 pounds. Description Habits Food Breeding Biology ... Timber Wolf Main Page The sound of a howling timber wolf is becoming a more common event in Wisconsin. A growing population, of wolves now live in Wisconsin, one of about a dozen states in the country where timber wolves exist in the wild. Timber wolves, also called gray wolves, are the largest wild members of the dog family. Males are usually bigger than females. Timber wolves have silvery gray-brown backs, light tan and cream underparts, and bushy tails. In winter, their fur becomes darker on the neck, shoulders, and rump. How can you tell the difference between a timber wolf and a coyote or a large dog? Size is a key difference between coyotes and wolves. A coyote is only half as big as a wolf. Wolves can be distinguished by tracks and various physical features. A wolf and other wild canids usually places its hind foot in the track left by the front foot, whereas a dog's front and hind foot tracks usually do not overlap each other. Wolves also differ from most dogs by having a narrower chest, longer legs, large feet, large head with cheek hair tufts, tail held down or straight but not curled, black tipped tail, and black spot on back of the tail.
Extractions: We inherited a rather undesirable grey, moth-eaten old tomcat with an ear missing. We named him Smudge. This unattractive but still noble creature used us a feeding stop and occasional shelter while about his dubious business. He did not once bring home a lady friend, let alone the product of his ungirded, unguarded even, loins. I remember, as a five or six year old, throwing the protesting animal on to an (unlit) fire which scared the proverbial out of him and attaching a rubber ball with a length of elastic to his poor tail which caused much hilarity in me, but not in the strangely trusting old Smudge. The awful guilt and sadness to follow meant that these dreadfulnesses of brat-child excess were never to repeat in my subsequent relationships with that most independent but people- loving companion, Felis felis, Felis domesticus, Felis vulgaris, or Felis pussycatimus, depending on your level of schoolboy Latin and taxonomic species recognition.
