Payment to States Los Padres National Forest 6755 Hollister Avenue Suite 150 Goleta, CA 93117 (805) 968-6790 TTY Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive Species The location of Los Padres, at the juncture of at least three major ecological regions and the marine coastline has resulted in the forest having the largest number of threatened, endangered or sensitive species of wildlife within the National Forests of California. The forest provides habitat to over 46 sensitive, threatened or endangered species, such as the California Spotted Owl, Southwestern Pond Turtle and California Leaf-nosed Bat, Least Bell's Vireo, Southwest Willow Flycatcher, Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle, Red-legged Frog, Arroyo Southwestern Toad, San Joaquin Kit Fox, Smith's Blue Butterfly, South-Central Coast steelhead, and the three species of listed fairy shrimp (conservancy, longhorn, and vernal pool). The forest participates in a number of interagency recovery programs for these species. The Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon programs have been very successful to the point where these species are in the process of down listing or delisting altogether.

TERRADAILY Blue Planet: Setting Endangered Priorities A male caribou, Rangifer tarandus by Dan Whipple Blue Planet: Setting Endangered Priorities Boulder CO (UPI) Dec 28, 2004 The 30-year history of the Endangered Species Act has shown while its goals are popular, there are not enough resources to protect every species that needs saving. Choices - often subtle, yet harsh - must be made. The beginning of the Christmas season brought the less than merry news from a U.S.-French research team that Rudolph and his reindeer friends might disappear from a large portion of their range. The culprit in this prediction, found in the journal Conservation Biology, was global warming, naturally. The researchers found, from the archaeological record in southern France, that reindeer - called caribou in the New World - went extinct locally during two early warming periods roughly 10,000 and 130,000 years ago. There will be a direct impact of increases in summer temperature on reindeer well-being if global warming is allowed to proceed, University of Washington archaeologist Donald Grayson, lead study author, said in a statement. The number of southern reindeer will diminish dramatically as their range will move far to the north, and the number of reindeer in the north also will fall greatly.
