The national lion population has been falling by an average of 100 per year for the last seven years due to a combination of factors, particularly human-wildlife conflict, destruction of habitats, climate change, disease and increase in human population.
Rabbits are now thriving again after recovering their numbers and the Kent Wildlife Trust has implemented a grazing policy at Queendown Warren, with sheep and cattle, to supplement the rabbits’ efforts. Thus it was that in 2002 a re-introduction scheme successfully brought the Adonis Blue Butterfly back to the North Downs.
As a birder, this 72 minute documentary film about the Duck Stamp Contest didn’t accomplish what I was hoping it might – get people excited about the Duck Stamp, or at least wildlife conservation. The film follows several contestants on their journey to win what is described as the “Olympics of Wildlife Art.”
The blend itself has nothing to do with falcons, but was named in memory of Oregon brewer Glen Hay Falconer, who met an untimely death in 2002. A Peregrine Falcon resting on its sickle-like talons, about to put the hammer down. Falco is hopped exclusively with this blend.
Consider these numbers recorded by long-time local birder Harry Robinson: 1,230 common nighthawks (the highest recorded count for Florida) on September 11th, 2002; 1,560 swallow-tailed kites on July 26th, 2006 and 1,660 black-bellied whistling ducks on February 5th, 2010.

Pat and Clay also have a blog that you may want to pursue, especially if you are interested in butterflies and wildlife gardening. There are surprisingly few articles cited that were published after 2002. The excellence of Hawks in Flight is rooted in the expertise, experience and skills of all three authors.
Nevertheless, only the most important news I did follow, those about the decision-making process on future sales of elephants and their ivory at a global wildlife summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the first such meeting since 2013. A different research says, from 2002 to 2011 the known populations of forest elephants declined by 62%.
Reading Deb's post about the goslings at Poplar and getting Jenny 's request to sign a petition to save the Canada geese of Ballwin, Missouri from mass extermination reminded me how much I miss the wildlife at the neighborhood we lived in from 2002-early 2005. And a dead end.
Faraaz Abdool is a freelance conservation and wildlife photographer and writer who specializes in birds and the issues they face worldwide. Curlew Sandpipers aren’t even from the New World and the only singular record thus far was in 2002. But this was different. Nevertheless, birder me feverishly scanned the mudflats.
I had seen the Red-headed Picathartes in Cameroon on several occasions, and was on my way to a White-necked colony in Ivory Coast in 2002 when a coup broke out and we had to reluctantly turn back, so finally seeing this bird was a dream come true for me, and what a show they gave us!

Loango Lodge beach safari by UNDP There are 13 national parks in the country, all created in 2002 when President Omar Bongo established Gabon’s National Agency for National Parks. It is possible to travel through the country, staying in basic to moderate hotels and visiting various national parks.
