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. Gray Wolf 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.

Guides to Info. Resources Agriculture and Natural Resources ENDANGERED SPECIES Scope: An endangered species, whether it be animal or plant, is one that is threatened with extinction. Without concerted efforts to protect it, the species will become extinct. A threatened species is still abundant but declining so rapidly that it is likely to becomeextinct. Birds are especially threatened, followed by primates, fish and various species of plants, and amphibians. Habitat alteration, commercial hunting and harvesting, hunting for sport and subsistence, introduction of alien species, and pest and predator control threaten species. In other cases, the species may have always been rare.

DOE Comments Environmental Laws Focus Areas New Regulations ... Home Endangered Species Act and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Purpose and Organization The Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) are major federal statutes designed to protect plant and animal resources from adverse effects due to development projects. Both acts require consultation with wildlife authorities before committing resources to certain types of projects. Please click here to access an Information Brief on the ESA. Endangered Species Act The ESA was originally passed in 1973. It provides for the designation and protection of invertebrates, wildlife, fish, and plant species that are in danger of becoming extinct and conserves the ecosystems on which such species depend. The Act defines an endangered species as any species that is in danger of becoming extinct throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The Act excludes recognized insect pests from this definition. A threatened species is one that is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future. The Act makes it illegal for any individual to kill, collect, remove, harass, import, or export an endangered or threatened species without a permit from the Secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI). DOI's Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) performs most administrative and regulatory actions under the Act. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) deals with actions affecting marine species.

Related Information Endangered and Threatened Species What Are Endangered and Threatened Species? A century ago, a bird called the passenger pigeon lived in North America. There were so many passenger pigeons that people often saw great flocks of them flying overhead containing thousands, even millions, of birds. Today, there is not a single one left. What happened? The passenger pigeon became extinct . All living passenger pigeons disappeared from the earth entirely. The passenger pigeon became extinct for two reasons. First, the forests where it lived were cut down to make way for farms and cities. Second, many pigeons were shot for sport and because they were good to eat. At that time, there were no hunting laws to protect endangered species like there are now. The passenger pigeon is one of the many plants and animals that once lived on our planet and have become extinct. For example, dinosaurs, mammoths, and saber-toothed tigers all became extinct long ago. More recently, the dodo bird and the sea mink also have disappeared. Extinction has been going on since life began on earth. But today, extinction is happening faster than ever before.

Bay Area is Home to More than 100 Species on the Federal Endangered and Threatened Species List The global extinction crisis rivals global warming in its magnitude, urgency, and monumental implications for human health and welfare. Extinction is irreversible, and is now happening at a breakneck pace: across the globe, between one and 100 species are becoming extinct every day. The natural "background" rate of extinction is only one species per 100 years. Species loss signals a potential risk to humans as well as to animals and plants. More sensitive animals those that fill highly specialized niches, require large tracts of undisturbed land, or breed slowly, for instance are the first to suffer from habitat loss, pollution, and other drastic human-induced changes. In time, as the food chain collapses, animals further up will also suffer including humans. Species populations can be revitalized if serious efforts are made. For instance, the California brown pelican like the bald eagle was seriously affected by the use of DDT, which weakened the bird's eggshells so that they cracked during incubation. With the banning of DDT and other toxic pesticides, the brown pelican population is slowly rebounding. Closer to home, the South Bay's fragile population of California clapper rails has rebounded in the past decade, climbing from between 200 and 300 in 1991 to an estimated 600 to 700 in 1999 as a result of controls on invasive species.

Endangered Species will survive with YOUR help! Facts About Endangered Species According to scientists, more than one and one-half million species exist on the earth today. However, recent estimates state that at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet. In the United States, 735 species of plants and 496 species of animals are listed as threatened or endangered. 266 of these listed species have recovery plans currently under development. There are more than 1,000 animal species endangered worldwide. There are more than 3,500 protected areas in existence worldwide. These areas include parks, wildlife refuges and other reserves. They cover a total of nearly 2 million square miles (5 million square km), or 3% of our total land area. Aquatic species, which are often overlooked, are facing serious trouble. One third of the United States’ fish species, two-thirds of its crayfish species, and almost three-quarters of its mussel species are in trouble. Endangered Species Terms VULNERABLE SPECIES A species particularly at risk because of low or declining numbers or small range, but not a threatened species.

Contact Us Manitoba Endangered Species Act Proclaimed in 1990 and amended in 1993, The Endangered Species Act was enacted: (1) to ensure the protection and survival of endangered and threatened species in the province; (2) to enable the reintroduction of extirpated species into the province; and (3) to designate species as endangered, threatened, extinct or extirpated. Additions or deletions to list of species under each designation are recommended by the Endangered Species Advisory Committee. Declaring a species threatened is intended to ensure the protection and enhance the survival of a native species before it becomes endangered. Limited distribution, low numbers and dependence on specialized habitats are the qualifying factors for threatened status. Declaring a species endangered is intended to ensure the protection and enhance the survival of a native species before it is extirpated. Limited distribution, low numbers, and the danger of a significant reduction within its range are the qualifying factors for endangered status. Designating a species as extirpated is intended to enable the eventual reintroduction of native species, to ensure their protection and enhance their survival if naturally or artificially reintroduced, and to prevent the introduction of specimens of questionable genetic integrity or subspecies that are not indigenous to the province.

Endangered species From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see endangered species (disambiguation) The American bison numbered as few as 750 in due to extreme overhunting. An endangered species is a species whose population is so small that it is in danger of becoming extinct . Many countries have laws offering special protection to these species (forbidding hunting , banning development, etc. of their habitats ) to prevent their extinction. Only a few of the many truly endangered species actually make it to the lists and obtain legal protection. Many more species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without gaining public notice. Many of these laws are controversial . Typical areas of controversy include: criteria for placing a species on the endangered species list, and criteria for removing a species from the list once its population has recovered; whether restrictions on land development constitute a "taking" of land by the government , and the related question of whether private landowners should be compensated for the loss of use of their land; and obtaining reasonable exceptions to protection laws. A listing as an endangered species can backfire, as it makes a species more valuable and more desirable for collectors and poachers

Web Help North Dakota's Endangered and Threatened Species by Chris Grondahl and Kathy Martin State Game and Fish Department 100 North Bismarck Expressway Bismarck, North Dakota 58501-5095 This colored guide is designed to provide any reader a quick and meaningful method of identifying and learning about the federally listed threatened and endangered species found in North Dakota. The Endangered Species Act, which was passed by Congress in 1973, provided a means whereby species in danger of extinction could be conserved. This Act included the preservation of ecosystems where endangered species were found and was intended to recover populations of species to a point where they could be removed from this list. Endangered species are those species which are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range. Threatened species are those species likely to become endangered in the future. All wildlife are important because they are part of a large web of life in which species are dependent on one another for existence. For example, many plants have evolved to be pollinated by a specific butterfly. If that species of butterfly would become extinct, the plant would also become extinct. Wild species also act as environmental monitors, add to genetic diversity, and are used commercially at a value of about 40 billion dollars a year to make medicines. Finally, the number of people who enjoy watching wildlife grows every year. By causing the extinction of species today, we are depriving future generations of the experiences and values that a species may have provided.

Canada's Endangered Species 256 Canadian species are listed by the Scientific Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) as being extinct, extirpated, endangered, threatened and vulnerable. The list only includes Canada's vertebrate and vascular plant species and was released in April 1994. Definitions are: Extinct - a species formerly indigenous to Canada that no longer exists anywhere. Extirpated - a species no longer existing in the wild in Canada but occurring elsewhere in the world. Endangered - a species threatened with imminent extinction or extirpation throughout all or a significant portion of its Canadian range. Threatened - a species likely to become endangered in Canada if the factors affecting its vulnerability are not reversed. Vulnerable - a species particularly at risk because of low or declining numbers, small range or for some other reason, but not a threatened species. Extinct - 9 species Mammals, 2; Birds, 3; Fish, 4 Dawson's Caribou, Sea Mink, Great Auk, Labrador Duck, Passenger Pigeon, Deepwater Cisco, Longjaw Cisco, Banff Longnose Dace, Blue Walleye Extirpated - 11 species Mammals, 5; Birds, 1; Reptiles, 1; Fish, 2; Plants, 2

Some species are only rare in certain parts of their distribution area, whereas others only occurs in a very small geographic area that is under a distinct threat and therefore are rare. Habitat loss is the major threat to gentians. For example, grazed meadows disappear in northern Europe, rainforests are cut down in the tropics, and native habitats are destroyed when cities and suburbs spread. Some gentians are also becoming rare because of over-collecting in the wild, often for pharmacological purposes. Gentians are usually not close to extinction because they are picked by people, but because they no longer have the right place to live. But do not dig up gentians or try to transplant them into your garden. Many gentians only live for a year or two and most have connections to the fungi in the soil (mycorrhizae) that they need to survive.

ECO-PROS Environmental Education on the Web This Toucan is worried about pollution in the Rainforest. Click HERE to see what happens when the air is clean. Generally, an endangered species is a living organism in danger of disappearing from the face of the earth if it is not protected and its situation is not improved. In 1973, the U.S. Endangered Species Act was passed - to protect the lives and habitats of endangered plant and animal species. Species listed as endangered are in IMMEDIATE DANGER OF EXTINCTION! When any extinction occurs, it affects the planet's biodiversity negatively and irreversibly. When a species is lost, knowledge of its historic relationship to local and global environmental factors is also lost. PLANTS For every 10 species listed as endangered, nearly six of those species are plants. Although mammals and birds have gotten more attention, it is plants that are fundamental to nature's functioning, as they support most of the rest of life by converting sunlight into food. ANIMALS There are many types of animals - from one-celled animals to complex human animals.

Endangered and Threatened Species Hawaiian Species Pacific Species Critical Habitat Updates Recovery Plans The Endangered Species Program conserves endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. Conserving endangered and threatened species is necessary to preserve our natural heritage for future generations and to maintain our quality of life. Safeguarding ecosystems benefit all users of ecosystem resources and is essential to maintaining our nation's long term economic prosperity. A species can be listed under one of two categories, endangered or threatened, depending on its status and the degree of threat it faces. Endangered species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of becoming extinct and need protection to survive. Threatened species are those that are declining in numbers and might become endangered if conservation efforts are not immediately taken. As you browse through the endangered species section, you will learn that island ecosystems are very fragile and that island species depend on one another for survival. It will also become apparent that the major causes for the decline of some species are due to urban development, which takes over the limited habitat of native plants and animals, and the introduction of alien species, which compete for food and habitat and sometimes become predators of native species.
