In the proposed critical habitat designation, we stated that it was unlikely that Astragalus lentiginosus var. piscinensis was present on a privately owned parcel in Township 6, South Range 33 East, section 18 and did not propose designating the parcel as critical habitat. However, we have determined that 8 individuals of the [[Page 33775]] listed plant taxon were present on or immediately adjacent to this parcel in 1992, and 1 individual was present in 2000. For more information, see the ``Criteria Used to Identify Critical Habitat'' section of this final rule.

Extractions: Furbearer/Wetlands Resource Specialist At the August DNR Commission meeting, bobcats were unanimously removed from threatened species list. The bobcat was found throughout Iowa at the time of European settlement. Although they were abundant in the early 1800s, there was little mention of bobcats by the end of that century. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were present in all corners of Iowa as result of emigration from surrounding states but they were absent elsewhere.In 1977, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) developed the first list of endangered and threatened species and the bobcat was first listed as endangered. Notable bobcat population increases have occurred since the mid-1980s. In 2001, The Natural Resource Commission (NRC) downlisted the bobcat from endangered to threatened. In 2002 and 2003, DNR staff tallied

WILD Activities What is Wildlife? Wildlife is defined many ways. Some think of animals in a zoo. Others think of predators and preya hawk catching a mouse. Wildlife includes animals that live free and find their own food, water, shelter, and other needs. This means spiders, insects, backyard birds, and moles, as well as lions, tigers, bison, and elk. Domestic animals (e.g., dogs, hamsters, cows) are not wildlife. They have been bred by humans for a specific purpose and depend on humans for food, water, shelter, and survival. Some wild animals can be tame (conditioned to accept and tolerate human presence). Some normally wild animals (e.g., elk, bison, white tail deer) are raised as domestic animals for food or aesthetics. People often purchase skunks, raccoons, or even mountain lions from captive breeders as pets without considering the adult size of the animal, the specialized care it will need, and the potentially dangerous behaviors it will develop. These animals do not make good pets and are sources of zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted from wild animals to humans). People sometimes release these animals into the wild after they realize the amount of time and expense needed to properly care for them. They usually starve to death or seek out humans because they are unable to take care of themselves in the wild.

Extractions: Two endangered and two threatened species on the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's list were found on or in the area of the Cape May County campus site. Endangered are the eastern tiger salamander and the southern gray treefrog. Threatened species are the barred owl and the redheaded woodpecker. Endangered species are ones that face immediate extinction from natural or human threats like predators or population expansion. Threatened species, on the other hand, are not in imminent danger of extinction but face that risk if their environments worsen. Species are often designated as endangered or threatened by a state's environmental agency despite living in abundance elsewhere in the US. The Endangered Eastern Tiger Salamander The eastern tiger salamander is a stocky little amphibian, 7 or 8 inches long (although one was once measured at 13 inches) with sturdy limbs and a long tail. Its skin is mostly dark brown with irregular yellowish blotches. Its habitat stretches from southern New York State south along the East Coast into Florida, westward into the Gulf States and eastern Texas, and in the Midwest from Ohio to Minnesota. It thrives near breeding ponds and pools and can live as long as 15 years. It is designated endangered in New Jersey because of human encroachment into its habitat. It is not on the US list of endangered species.
Threatened Species Of New Zealand Seafriends threatened species of New Zealand. Just how endangered is New Lowland Podocarp-broadleaf kauri forest, Habitat destruction, rodents ? http://www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/reddata.htm
Extractions: Just how endangered is New Zealand's environment? The terrestrial species, living closest to mankind and his introduced pests, his destruction of habitats and his pollution, have suffered most. Some have declined or even become extinct from direct exploitation (the Moas) but their numbers are relatively few. By contrast, marine species have until now, suffered mainly from exploitation but not from extensive habitat destruction and the introduction of noxious animals. The marine environment appears to be more robust against complete extinction, but we don't know for sure. We know so little about the marine environment that we cannot say with certainty whether any species have become endangered, or even whether any species have become extinct. In this article the status of endangered terrestrial wildlife in New Zealand is listed, as it was known by 1980.

Extractions: By RAY HARWOOD, THE BLACKBOARD I sit down under the cool shade of pine, the mountain air clean and cleansing. My thoughts go back to a time and place where humans and nature were one, when humans made tools and a living from simple survival skills related closely to the earth. To be one with nature is to be fulfilled. Some local artisans have a hobby along these lines, bringing us back to that stone age time. The group meets on the southeast corner of Hart Part on the first Sunday of each month. The hobby, known as "flintknapping, is the ancient art of chipping flint type stones into arrowheads, tomahawks and other ancient artifact replicas. As an art form, the image of flakes on stone has a strange attraction, a fascination perhaps, held over from our stone age ancestors. The arrowhead group sets up a barbecue, complete with a banjo player or occasionally a native drum, and commences to chip rocks at about 9:30 am until lunch, then again until the park closes at dusk. They chip glassy rocks to create fantastic stone knives and arrowheads. The groups leader, Gary Picket, learned the stone age craft while living in Missouri, where flint Indian artifacts are common in the creeks and hollers. Picket experimented for many years before he mastered the craft. Picket says that modern flintknappers sign their work to keep it from being misrepresented as ancient. He invites all interested to the park to learn more about this strange but growing hobby. Gary often does demonstrations for events, schools and museums. For more information, call (661) 392-7729.

But there was a catch: the salamander populations in Sonoma and Santa Barbara counties, previously listed as endangered, had their status downgraded to threatened. In the words of Tom Waits, the large print giveth and the small print taketh away. Was the downlisting based on good science new evidence that the threats to those populations were not as severe as had been originally thought? It appears not. Nowhere in FWSs 36-page final listing decision is there anything like a justification for the change. It looks more like a matter of administrative convenience. The agency wanted to apply a special provision a "Section 4(d) Rule" exempting ranchers throughout the amphibians range from incidental take requirements of the Endangered Species Act. Such rules can apply to species classified as threatened, but not those in the more restrictive endangered category. Simple enough: the formerly endangered Sonoma and Santa Barbara salamanders are now only threatened. The legal status of the California tiger salamander has been contested since 1992, when UC-Davis herpetologist Bradley Shaffer petitioned for its protection under the ESA. The eight-inch-long creature, black with yellow spots, occurs only in California, from Santa Rosa to Lompoc along the coast and from Sacramento County to Tulare County in the Central Valley. Its a close relative of the widespread tiger salamander (

Extractions: WILDLIFE Surveys that have been conducted at Spenceville Wildlife Area (SWA) document the presence of 42 mammals, 160 birds, 12 reptiles, 4 amphibians, and 20 fishes including lamprey and crayfish (Rogers et al. 1996). Most of these species are permanent residents, but some are seasonal migrators such as anadromous fish and various birds including 26 as neotropical species (Rogers et al. 1996). Birds are present in all habitat types. The Riparian Woodland habitats are critical to Neotropical migrant birds, especially during the fall season. During all seasons, the highest diversities and densities of birds are found in or near dense streamside vegetation (Rogers et al. 1996). Of the 43 mammals at SWA, 9 are carnivora. The river otter has been documented in the last 2 years. The Columbian black-tailed deer population is estimated at 150-220 animals and wild pigs occur occasionally (Rogers et al. 1996). Seventeen rodent species are residents of the wildlife area, the black-tailed jackrabbit the most common. Ten species of bats also reside and 2 of those species Townsend's big-eared bat and the pallid bat, are Species of Special Concern (Rogers et al. 1996). The Pacific tree frog is the most common amphibian of SWA. Spenceville Wildlife Area has a very diverse reptile population. The Western pond turtle is a Species of Special concern and is common to the reserve. Gopher snakes and rattlesnakes are the most commonly observed snakes (Rogers et al. 1996).

Extractions: Range: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas; Mexico. Description The northern aplomado falcon is a distinctive bird of prey; dull red underparts, a gray back, a long and banded tail, and a striking black and white facial pattern distinguish adults. The lower breast sports a broad, blackish band or cummerbund with small, whitish crossbars. Feet are bright yellow and the sexes are similar, with males noticeably smaller than females. The aplomado falcon ( Falco femoralis ) has been divided into three subspecies. The northern aplomado is the largest of the three, displaying a body length from 14.9-16.5 in (38-42 cm) and a wingspan from 40-48 in (102-122 cm). This is intermediate in size between the American kestrel and peregrine falcon. F. f. pichinchae

Snake bites can be deadly. An encounter with even a non-poisonous can be an unpleasant experience. Remember, snakes are an important part of our natural world. The best approach to managing snake problems, whenever possible, is to leave these animals alone. Diamondback Rattlesnakes Photo by Don Lovell Snakes are perhaps the most feared and hated animals in New Mexico, but peopleâs fear of snakes comes from lack of understanding and superstition. Snakes are not mysterious at all, and these fascinating creatures donât deserve the anxiety many people feel about them. Of the 46 snake species found in New Mexico, only 8 are poisonous and potentially dangerous, including 7 species of rattlesnakes and a coral snake. There are many benefits from having some snakes around the yard or garden. Snakes are one of natureâs most efficient mousetraps, killing and eating a variety of rodent pests. While snakes will not eliminate pests, they do help keep their numbers in check. Some harmless snakes (king snakes and coach-whips) eat other snakes, including poisonous ones.
