Your browser does not support script The Center for Biological Diversity, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society, California State Park Rangers Association, and Tri-County Conservation League submitted a petition to list the California population of the western burrowing owl ( Athene cunicularia hypugaea ) as an endangered or threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. photo by Peter LaTourrette Burrowing owls in California historically ranged throughout the Central Valley, were found in suitable habitat in coastal areas from Marin County south to the Mexican border, and sparsely inhabited desert areas in the northeastern and southeastern portions of the state. Densities of owls in some areas of the state have increased with intensive agriculture, such as in the Imperial Valley, southern Central Valley, and lower Colorado River Valley. The decimation of breeding owl populations in Orange and San Diego Counties is indicative of the fate of the species in urbanizing areas of the state. The burrowing owl was once "common everywhere" in coastal San Diego County, with one ornithologist noting that in the late 1860s "burrowing owls stood on every little knoll" around San Diego. Even as late as 1975, burrowing owls were described as "abundant" and "bordering on ubiquitous" in suitable habitat in Orange County and were considered a "regular component" of the coastal environment. By 2001 only 9 or less breeding pairs remained in the entirety of Orange and San Diego Counties.

News release Species Background FAQ ... Partners News Release Confirming the Global Extinction Crisis A call for international action as the most authoritative global assessment of species loss is released London, Washington, Geneva, Ottawa Thursday, 28 September 2000 Embargoed 17.00h GMT The global extinction crisis is as bad or worse than believed, with dramatic declines in populations of many species, including reptiles and primates, according to the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, released today. Since the last assessment in 1996, Critically Endangered primates increased from 13 to 19, and the number of threatened albatross species has increased from three to 16 due to long-line fisheries. Freshwater turtles, heavily exploited for food and medicinal use in Asia, went from 10 to 24 Critically Endangered species in just four years. These are among the alarming facts announced by the world's largest international conservation organisation, with the publication of the Red List, the most authoritative and comprehensive status assessment of global biodiversity. The release comes a week before the second World Conservation Congress in Amman, Jordan, where members of IUCN - The World Conservation Union will meet to define global conservation policy for the next four years, including ways of addressing the growing extinction crisis.

Home Army Navy Air Force ... News - Recent News Meetings Publications Links Post's Eagle Population Soaring as Majestic Bird Continues Comeback By Barbara K. Filbert TECOM Public Affairs Office The American bald eagle population at Aberdeen Proving Ground continues to fly back from its endangered status. For eagles in the Northern Chesapeake Bay region, the proving ground seems to be an ideal place to call "home," with its large wooded areas close to the water. Last week, post biologists and Maryland Department of Natural Resources biologist Ronald Norris, spotted 138 eagles during the annual midwinter bald eagle survey of the local area. In the four-hour helicopter overflight on Jan. 11, the team saw 90 adult and 48 immature eagles, and 20 active nests. The bald eagle has made a strong recovery at Aberdeen Proving Ground, which has the largest population in the northern Chesapeake Bay. Jim Pottie, APG's wildlife and endangered species programs biologist, said the survey "is part of a cooperative effort to monitor the nation's eagle population among the National Wildlife Federation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state conservation agencies." Pottie was not surprised the count was lower than last year because of the extremely warm conditions during December and early January.

For the first seven centuries of their lives the landscape of the lower Fraser Valley changed little, ebbing and flowing with the natural processes of the occasional dry spell, wind storm, river flood or forest fire.

Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology Molecular Systematics and Conservation Genetics MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS AND CONSERVATION GENETICS Individual Research Programs in Molecular Systematics Conservation genetics of endangered and threatened species. Molecular data are being used to identify patterns of genetic diversity among endangered and threatened species. Thus far, the target species have included endangered Chinese giant salamanders and threatened Asian Bullfrogs and North American desert tortoises and this research is important for both North Amereican and Asian interests. The applications of the analyses include reintroductions, captive propagation, and setting aside wildlife protection areas. Phylogenetic relationships of rattlesnakes. Very little is known about the genealogical relationships of more than 30 species of rattlesnakes. Centre researchers are using DNA sequence data to unravel the evolutionary relationships of the species, and analyses will allow us to understand the evolution, ecology, and behaviour of rattlesnakes, their geographic distribution and other life attributes. These analyses may also allow for the more effective treatment of venomous snake bites. Biogeography of Bats of Madagascar.
