All the inhabited continents except Africa have experienced bird extinctions; however the 2012 update of the IUCN Red List shows a startling, but not altogether unexpected, trend in that more and more of our bird species are facing extinction.
Hunting and disturbance, deterioration, fragmentation and destruction of habitat were the forces behind the decline of this, once widespread species, making it Critically Endangered on the IUCN Global Red List. In the entire world, the Red List was saying, there were fewer than 250 mature individuals remaining.
Fish and Wildlife Service is down-listing the wood stork from endangered to threatened under the EndangeredSpecies Act (ESA). The wood stork was listed as endangered in 1984, because the Florida population was dropping at an approximate rate of 5 percent per year.
That is a big difference compared to the 2,000+ singing males detected in 2012, well above the recovery goal for this species set by the U.S. This species may need help with habitat management and cowbird removal for some time to come, but luckily Kirtland’s have responded very well to efforts to keep them around.
There are some seven birds among the 100 most endangeredspecies on the planet on the list of fauna and flora listed as the rarest by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Zoological Society of London – and this morning, I am after one of those! Acknowledgements and other pieces.
In 2012, the Hindustani Times claimed that from January 2011 to June 2012, a further 9 tigers were killed in the Tadoba buffer zone. By the year 2000, the number of tigers in the wild went down to 8,500 and by 2012, it plummeted to a mere 3,200 individuals. Conservation endangeredspecies India Mammals tiger'
It was July of 2012. In October of 2012, the Institute for Bird Populations released “ A Conservation Strategy for the Black-Backed Woodpecker in California 3.” I arrived at Lassen Volcanic National Park around 7:00 a.m. It was a cool 48 degrees. What I found was more than I could possibly hope for. Siegel and, D.
Fish and Wildlife Service endangeredspecies list. Jackson, 2012. The warbler is on the road to being delisted from the EndangeredSpecies List. And, if you have strong feelings about the delisting of the Kirtland’s Warbler from the EndangeredSpecies List, this is a good place to let it out.
The authors outline the basic problems of New England’s ecosystem, with attention given to endangeredspecies such as the New England Blazing-star (a late-summer wildflower whose habitat is disappearing) and the dangers of invasive species (beware of Garlic Mustard!). Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012. Eaton, Eric H.
The mission of the SSP is to cooperatively manage specific, and typically threatened or endangered, species populations within AZA-accredited facilities. There are currently just over 50 Malayan tigers in the Species Survival Plan.
The American Birding Association Field Guide to Birds of Ontario covers 311 species (publicity material says 310, probably because Alder and Willow Flycatchers share one page), birds that author Chris Earley says, “are seen in the province most regularly” (p. 2012), and (4) Waterfowl of Eastern North America, 2nd ed.
Over two years (2011 and 2012), scientists captured 50 birds and successfully transported them from Niho to Laysan. No birds died during the translocation and the one-year survival rate was 58% in the 2011 and 96% in the 2012. The “results” section summarizes the outcomes. Again, birders are not the intended audience.)
As 2013 draws to a close we here at 10,000 Birds thought that it would be a great idea if we, like we did in 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 , shared our Best Birds of the Year. The end of the year is nigh and birders the world over are looking over their checklists and reminiscing about their amazing sightings and devastating dips.
Fortunately, the process by which a species is delisted is actually quite transparent: anyone with internet access can review exactly what FWS proposes and precisely the scientific evidence FWS says supports the proposal. In 2012, a petition to delist was filed by ranching and agriculture groups and conservative legal organizations.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently decided that the Sonoran Desert population of Bald Eagle is not a listable taxon under the EndangeredSpecies Act. In 2012, FWS determined , for a third time, that the desert eagle was not a listable taxon and CBD again filed suit. What does that mean?
