California Wild Heritage Campaign (CWHC)
California is known around the world for its snow-capped mountains, beautiful beaches, free-flowing rivers, and magnificent forests. Places like the White Mountains, the King Range, and the Kern River provide clean drinking water for communities, tourism dollars to our economy, and habitat for endangered species. These wild lands and rivers are our children's wild heritage, and should be there for future generations to enjoy. But, these places are quickly disappearing. In the last 20 years, 80% of California's landscape has been changed through destructive activities such as logging and mining. And, every day during these last two decades, we have lost the equivalent of 97 football fields of wilderness - PER DAY. Of the nearly 200,000 miles of rivers here in California, only one percent are protected from destructive activities, such as dam building. It is time to protect the precious wild places we have left! What is the definition of wilderness? The Wilderness Act of 1964 defined wilderness as "An area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." The Act goes on to describe wilderness as "an area of undeveloped federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation." Wilderness areas usually measure at least 5,000 acres, provide opportunities for backcountry recreation, and may contain outstanding social or ecological values.

back African Wild Dog
Lycaon pictus
African wild dogs are classified in the family Canidae, along with wolves, foxes, jackals and other similar species, including the domestic dog. They are the only species in the genus Lycaon The range of the African wild dog has declined dramatically in recent years. The species once ranged over nearly all of Africa, and was still found across most of the continent (except the far northern and southern areas and in dense tropical rain forests) as late as 1983. But by 1996, viable populations could only be found in Tanzania, extreme northeastern South Africa, across most of Botswana, parts of Zimbabwe, and tiny areas of Namibia, Angola and Zambia. In many of these countries, the species survives only in national parks and other protected areas Habitat
Their preferred habitats are savannas and open woodlands, though African wild dogs can be flexible in their habitat needs. They have been found ranging from the Sahara desert to alpine regions of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Private Ownership to Save Species
Environmentalists don't want to admit it, but the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a failure. Passed with the noble goal of recovering diminishing populations of wildlife, the means it uses to achieve that goal are cumbersome and ineffective. At most, the law can take credit for saving only two or three species, while it has witnessed the extinction of many more. Species such as bald eagles and peregrine falcons have recovered, not due to the ESA but to entirely separate actions, such as the Environmental Protection Agency's ban of DDT a year before the ESA was passed. The prairie dog and black-footed ferret illustrate the failings of the ESA. The federal government declared war on prairie dogs, a minor nuisance to ranchers, in 1916. Eventually, federal poison campaigns helped to wipe prairie dogs from 98 percent of their range. Not so happy is the black-footed ferret, a weasel-like predator that eats prairie dogs and lives in prairie dog burrows. It is a law of ecology that, when you try to eradicate a prey species, the predator goes first. Long before the ESA was passed, the black-footed ferret was known as "the most endangered mammal in North America." Finally, in 1984, the last ten living ferrets were captured and the species has since been bred in laboratories and zoos. Even today, federal agencies continue to poison prairie dogs (except in Utah) and the biggest obstacle to recovery of a wild population of ferrets is the lack of any places with enough prairie dogs to support a ferret population. (The second biggest problem is figuring out how to train captive prairie dogs to survive in the wild.)

Endangered Species Of The Bahamas
    GREEN TURTLE
    Scientific Name

    Chelonia mydas
Description
Green turtles get their name because of the color of their body fat which gives the turtle its characteristic color. The carapace (the hard top shell) is mottled light to dark brown and streaked with olive green. Adults can weigh between 200 to 500 pounds. Fairly long flippers and an oval shell make Green turtles hydro-dynamically suited to long-distance swimming. Green turtles and other sea turtles are reptiles.
Diet
Juvenile Green turtles are carnivorous (meat eating) until the age of six months to a year. However, adult Green turtles are largely vegetarian eating underwater grasses especially turtle grass (Thalassia) and seaweeds.
Reproduction
Green sea turtles mate in the water. After mating, the female Green turtle usually nests at night. She drags herself out of the sea and onto a nesting beach, up beyond the reach of high tide. Using her hind flippers like shovels, she scoops out a bottle shaped hole and lays about one hundred white, leathery eggs that look like ping-pong balls. She covers the nest with sand and returns to the sea, paying no further attention to it and never seeing her young. Habitat Green turtles can be found in waters between 35° north and 35° south latitude. The major nesting beaches for Green sea turtles in the Wider Caribbean are in Costa Rica, Aves Island off Venezuela, and in Surinam. They also nest in many other places including The Bahamas.

    South Dakota
    *Extirpated from the wild in South Dakota.
    Current Status:
    Black-footed ferrets prey almost exclusively on prairie dogs. The primary threat to the ferret's recovery is the continued loss of prairie dog colonies, principally from poisoning. Such poisoning degrades and fragments ferret habitat, resulting in only small islands of prairie dog colonies. Very few sites have been identified as suitable for ferret reintroduction.
    Achievements:
    Success of the captive breeding program for the ferret has exceeded all expectations, yielding enough animals to support a ferret reintroduction program. In 1991, ferrets were reintroduced into the wild in Wyoming for the first time. Plans are under way for a draft environmental impact statement and proposed rule on reintroducing a nonessential experimental population of black-footed ferrets into Badlands National Monument and adjoining areas of Buffalo Gap National Grasslands in western South Dakota. The Fish and Wildlife Service will seek public involvement in the environmental impact statement process and any reintroduction proposal. The Service is also involved in an important section 7 consultation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the Rosebud, Cheyenne River, and Pine Ridge Indian Reservations in South Dakota. The consultation involves proposed Federal action in poisoning prairie dogs to reduce perceived competition with livestock for forage. The Service is encouraging the tribes to develop prairie dog management plans for each reservation to allow for control of prairie dogs while conserving sufficient numbers to aid in ferret recovery.

    Current Recovery Needs:
    Increased funding will be needed to locate, develop, and manage ferret reintroduction sites across the West. Also, efforts are needed to stem the loss of prairie dog colonies. Federal land management agencies can assist by developing prairie dog management plans for public lands and by publicizing the benefits of prairie dog conservation to wildlife advocates and livestock grazers.

    The Dingo is Fading Away
    Keith Muir, Colong Foundation for Wilderness According to Alan Wilton, a geneticist with the University of NSW, ‘the dingo in the wild is endangered due to hybridisation with domestic dogs.’ Laurie Corbett, a Northern Territory dingo expert, has found hybrid dingoes all over the continent. He considers ‘the prognosis for regional populations of pure dingoes in NSW is poor.’ Other studies have found that even the dingoes on display in zoos and fauna parks are mainly hybrid dogs, not pure dingoes. Pure dingo populations of any size are probably extinct but it is not too late to save the dingo. Inappropriate management of dingoes
    The dingo is currently listed as a pest requiring eradication under the NSW Rural Lands Protection Act, 1998

    Abatement - Techniques for reducing risk of depredation by creating exclusions, establishing barriers, or using scare methods. Abatement practices that may be used to reduce wolf depredation would include fences, guard dogs, scare devices and other techniques.
    Access - Refers to the ability of humans to penetrate an area and is usually measured by roads per square mile.
    Critical Habitat - Term used in the Federal Endangered Act whereby certain areas are defined as critical to the survival of a species. Such a classification may restrict land use activity within designated areas. No areas in Wisconsin have been classified as critical habitat for timber wolves by the Federal Government.
    Delisting - Refers to the act of removing a species from both endangered and threatened species classification. The act of delisting does not mean a species is no longer protected. Delisting federally indicates that a species no longer has Federal Endangered Species protection, but would fall under state management and protection authority.
    Depredation - Refers to predation on domestic animals or animals that a predator would not normally encountered or killed in natural habitat.

    Photographer: Jim Clark
    Description:
    Common Name: Mexican Gray Wolf
    Scientific Name: Canis lupus baileyi
    Nickname: Lobo The Mexican Gray Wolf is a warm-blooded mammal. The Mexican Gray Wolf is a large dog-like carnivore.  The coat on the wolf is a mixture of brown, rust, black, gray, and white.  Mexican Gray Wolves have a distinct white lip line, chin and throat.  Adult gray wolves are around three feet tall and almost 6 and 1/2 feet long.  They weigh about 100 pounds.  Females are about 6 feet long and weigh 50-75 pounds. They will eat a mouse or a moose and everything in-between. Their most common food though is deer, moose, elk, and occasionally rabbits, beavers, hares, and other small rodents. Wolves have a dominance order that they follow.  Every member has a place and if they get out of line the alpha male or female growls at the subordinate, bares his or her fangs, and sometimes gives a harmless nip on the scruff of the neck.  The ranking determines how the wolves are treated, who gets to eat first, and which pair mates. There are usually seven or eight wolves to a pack, but they can have more than 20 members.  The leaders of the pack, or a wolf family, are called the alpha male and the alpha female.  They tend to be the strongest and most experienced wolves in the pack. The leaders are not tyrants; they simply guide the family, determine when they should hunt, select the rendezvous site and home territory, lead the hunt, and charge to the front if they have to defend the young wolves against bears or other predators.  The leaders are responsible and put themselves in the most danger.
