Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the “Rufa” population of Red Knot ( Calidris canutus rufa ) as a threatened species under the EndangeredSpecies Act (ESA). Subtle environmental changes increase the likelihood of mismatches in the timing of its food supply. Birds in Delaware Bay.
The Majestic Wetlands: Within Shanghai’s boundaries lie several pristine wetland habitats that serve as vital sanctuaries for a plethora of bird species. This expansive marshland is home to rare and endangeredspecies such as the charismatic Black-faced Spoonbill, Saunders’s Gull, and the elegant Oriental Stork.
The person with the average income can’t afford to raise a family, traipse off to Attu Island for a week in the hope of snagging a couple of ABA ticks, buy the newest Nikon or Canon camera body and then reserve a spot on that Antarctic cruise they have been meaning to do. Shocking, I know. When I hear of the plight of some U.S.
For example, a government might refuse to protect - or even willfully destroy - its own natural treasure, as when, in the 1990s, Saddam Hussein's regime drained the wetlands that were home to the persecuted Marsh Arabs. Already, some conservation campaigns have taken on martial aspects.
Following passage of the United States EndangeredSpecies Preservation Act of 1966, the California Condor ( Gymnogyps californianus ) was among the first 75 species listed for protection, the so-called “Class of 1967”. Reintroduction efforts expanded to Arizona in 1996, and later, to the Baja California peninsula in Mexico.
The USFWS designated the whooping cranes in this population “nonessential and experimental.” What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangeredspecies for death.
Compared to that of say the Collared Kingfisher , for example, it would hardly raise an eyebrow. Such a classification is perhaps justified if you are only looking at external morphology and plumage. The Orange-fronted Parakeet varies very little from that of the Yellow-crowned Parakeet.
James Wakelin is prime example of modern ornithologist and conservator. He worked for Ezemvelo (the provincial parks authority) and was an avid bird bander who also worked on DNA analyses, radio tracking, monitoring endangeredspecies nests etc. In 1964, Clancey’s “Birds of Natal and Zululand” raised the total to 590.
The rights view is not opposed to efforts to save endangeredspecies. If people are encouraged to believe that the harm done to animals matters morally only when these animals belong to endangeredspecies, then these same people will be encouraged to regard the harm done to other animals as morally acceptable.
For example, the process applies to, among other things, the listing (and delisting) of species under the EndangeredSpecies Act and interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. For example, 50 CFR § 91.13 Congress generally legislates in broad terms, leaving the specifics to administrative agencies.
