More plants and animals to be saved from extinction __ Saving our Species
The NSW Government is investing $100 million over five years in Saving our Species (SoS), NSW's threatened species conservation program. The funds will support over 240 conservation projects targeting site-managed, iconic, and landscape-managed species, as well as data-deficient species. Key objectives are to maximize the number of threatened species that can survive securely in the wild in NSW and control threats such as invasive predators. Projects involve improving habitat, controlling threats like weeds and foxes, monitoring species responses, and supporting on-park and private land conservation. Partnerships with other organizations will help maximize resources and ensure long-term sustainability of projects beyond the initial five-year funding commitment.

Himalayan Wolf Foraging.pptx
Himalayan wolves were found to select wild prey such as Tibetan gazelle and kiang over more abundant livestock. This contradicts the hypothesis that wolves' diets would reflect relative abundance of wild and domestic animals. Maintaining healthy wild ungulate populations through habitat protection, sustainable grazing, and combating poaching is important for conserving wolves and other carnivores, as livestock depredation increases when wild prey becomes scarce. Effective livestock protection can also help reduce conflicts while the small mammal species that red foxes prey on require conservation attention as well.

The document summarizes the past, present, and future of keeping North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) in zoos outside of New Zealand. It details how kiwi were first sent abroad in the 1800s and kept sporadically until recent decades. Currently, there are 39 kiwi across 5 North American and 2 German zoos. The author established a studbook to improve genetics and hopes to increase the population to 67 birds in North America through cooperation. Challenges include low historic breeding success, but understanding is improving. The future aims to maintain a healthy population through selective breeding while obtaining more birds from New Zealand to improve genetics long-term.
Center for Biological Diversity - Newsletter Fall 2010
The document summarizes the Center for Biological Diversity's work to protect and restore wolf populations in North America. It discusses how wolves once occupied a much larger range but were driven to near extinction, and how protections under the Endangered Species Act have allowed populations to increase again. However, wolves still occupy a small fraction of their historic range. The Center recently filed a petition calling for a national recovery plan to reestablish wolf populations across more of their suitable habitat. While wolves have seen some successes, political interference continues to threaten wolf protections and populations still face numerous risks. The Center will continue its legal and advocacy work on behalf of wolves.
Twenty years after the release of Jurassic Park, the dream of bringi.pdf
Twenty years after the release of Jurassic Park, the dream of bringing back the dinosaurs remains
science fiction. But scientists predict that within 15 years they will be able to revive some more
recently extinct species, such as the dodo or the passenger pigeon, raising the question of
whether or not they should – just because they can.
techno-environmentalist Stewart Brand is one of the driving forces behind the idea, which over
the past 18 months has drawn considerable media attention and scrutiny. Brand’s Long Now
Foundation is supporting scientific efforts to re-create the passenger pigeon—and exploring
possibilities for the heath hen—within its “Revive & Restore” project, which has its sights on a
range of candidates for resurrection, from the Tasmanian tiger to the woolly mammoth.
de-extinction proposal has been met with no shortage of criticism, ranging from concerns about
the misallocation of limited conservation dollars to a “vanity project,” to worries that the newly
engineered species will wreak havoc when released into the environment, especially since we
may no longer have thespace to accommodate them. Fears have been raised that de-extinction
will also lead to the relaxation of public commitment to conservation and to averting future
species extinctions.
de-extinction offers something vital to conservationists today: an alternative narrative
unburdened by the handwringing over extinction and ecological loss. If we were actually able to
bring back the passenger pigeon, the heath hen, and other iconic species, he believes, “The
conservation story could shift from negative to positive.
Arizona Game and Fish Department has been actively involved in reintroducing Mexican gray
wolves to portions of their historical range since the early 1990s. Management action activities
have included public opinion surveys, site feasibility studies, surveys along the Mexican border
for naturally occurring wolves, and intensive coordination with other cooperating agencies,
primarily the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan, adopted under the authority of the Endangered Species Act, has a
primary goal of re-establishing at least 100 wild wolves, within a portion of the subspecies’
historical range, located in east-central Arizona and western New Mexico. A secondary goal is to
manage wolves and their habitat in a manner that will not negatively impact the lifestyles and
economy of local residents. Cooperating agencies will closely monitor and study the
reintroduced wolves, contributing to the conservation of the gray wolf species as a whole.
Management of the reintroduction will be constantly evaluated and adapted as new
circumstances arise. Full recovery of the Mexican wolf subspecies likely will require additional
reintroduction projects elsewhere, and may take several decades to accomplish.
Wolf/Human Interactions Wolves can become acclimated to humans if fed, just like bears, foxes,
and coyotes. Fortunately, Mexican wolf ran.

Sheep Flocking:
Introduction:
There is a mesmerizing spectacle that has fascinated both scientists and onlookers for centuries. The coordinated movement of a large group of sheep, or a flock, is not just a random occurrence but a result of intricate social dynamics and communication among these woolly creatures. This article aims to delve deep into the world of sheep flocking, exploring the reasons behind this behavior, the science that governs it, and the implications for both the animals and the observers.
I. The Basics of Flocking Behavior:
1.1 Definition and Characteristics:
There is the collective movement of a group of sheep as they travel together, graze, or respond to external stimuli. The behavior is characterized by a synchronized, seemingly choreographed movement, creating a visually stunning display of unity among the animals.
1.2 Evolutionary Roots:
The evolution of flocking behavior in sheep can be traced back to their wild ancestors, where group living provided advantages such as enhanced protection from predators and improved foraging efficiency. Understanding the evolutionary roots of this behavior helps unravel its significance in the context of modern domesticated sheep.
II. Social Structure within the Flock:
2.1 Hierarchy and Leadership:
Sheep are known to establish hierarchical structures within their flocks, with dominant and submissive individuals. Examining the role of leadership and how it influences the flock’s movements sheds light on the social dynamics at play.
2.2 Communication Among Sheep:
Communication is paramount in maintaining cohesion within a flock. Explore the various ways sheep communicate, from vocalizations to body language, and how these cues contribute to the collective decision-making process.
III. The Science Behind Flocking:
3.1 Mathematical Models:
Scientists have developed mathematical models to simulate and understand flocking behavior. Explore the principles of these models, such as the famous Boids algorithm, which replicates the movement of a flock based on three simple rules: separation, alignment, and cohesion.
3.2 Neural and Sensory Mechanisms:
The study of the neural and sensory mechanisms involved in flocking behavior provides insights into how individual sheep perceive their environment and respond to stimuli. Investigate the role of vision, hearing, and other senses in shaping the collective behavior of the flock.
IV. External Influences on Flocking:
4.1 Predation and Defense:
One of the primary reasons for sheep flocking is defense against predators. Examine how the flock’s coordinated movement serves as a defense mechanism and the impact of predation on shaping this behavior over time.
4.2 Environmental Factors:
Explore the influence of environmental factors such as terrain, weather, and availability of resources on them. Understanding how these external elements shape the flock’s movements provides a holistic perspective on the behavior.
V. Human Implications and Observations:

This study examined predator distribution, habitat use, and diet in a California wilderness area by collecting and analyzing bobcat, mountain lion, bear, coyote, and fox scat. The researchers found 230 scat samples across 5 habitat types and identified predator distributions and prey richness varied between habitats and predator species. Statistical analysis showed predator scat distribution and prey richness in scats differed significantly between habitat types and predator species. Camera traps provided additional evidence that predator activity patterns varied temporally, indicating niche differentiation between species. The study provided insight into trophic interactions and informed conservation recommendations.

The document summarizes a study assessing the conservation status of all known mammal species globally. Some key findings include:
- 25% of mammal species are threatened with extinction, while populations of 50% are declining.
- Marine mammals concentrate in coastal and offshore tropical and temperate areas. Land mammals show high diversity in mountainous regions.
- Although mammals are well studied, new species continue to be discovered, with 349 added since 1962. New species are poorly understood and face threats before being classified.
- Unless conservation actions are taken, the overall status of mammals will likely continue to deteriorate in the future due to threats such as habitat loss and overexploitation. However, populations of 5% of threatened species are currently
PACIFIC WALRUS UNDER SIEGE
The Pacific walrus is a semi-aquatic mammal found in Arctic regions. It can grow up to 7-11 feet long and weigh up to 3,700 pounds. Walruses have been historically hunted for their ivory tusks. While populations declined over 20% in the past due to overhunting, their biggest threat is now the loss of Arctic sea ice habitat from climate change. Due to sea ice loss, the USFWS listed the Pacific walrus as threatened in 2011. Continued sea ice loss could severely impact walrus populations unless action is taken to limit human interference and hunting.

This document provides information about diversity and adaptations among living things on Earth. It discusses how tropical rainforests have the highest biodiversity due to abundant resources. Adaptations allow organisms to survive in their environments, like camouflage helping animals hide from predators. Natural selection leads to traits that aid survival and reproduction in a given environment over generations. New species can form when populations become isolated and develop unique adaptations.

Kiwi Forest Birds
Kiwi Forest Birds
Before humans arrived in New Zealand, the island was home to thousands of native bird species that had evolved without land mammal predators. The introduction of mammals like possums and rats has negatively impacted native birds, killing adult birds and chicks and competing for food sources. Aerial 1080 pest control drops have increased kiwi chick survival rates but some native bird populations can be negatively impacted if not done carefully. While 1080 breaks down quickly in the environment, some native birds, especially inquisitive species like kea, are vulnerable to aerial 1080 poisoning.
Vulture awareness day presentation
Three species of vultures in South Asia, including the white-rumped vulture, have seen their populations decline by over 90% in recent decades due to the use of the veterinary drug diclofenac. Diclofenac is toxic to vultures and causes kidney failure when they eat the remains of livestock treated with the drug. Conservation efforts are underway to breed vultures in captivity and ban dangerous drugs, but diclofenac contamination of the vultures' food supply still threatens their survival. International organizations like IUCN are working with countries in the region to establish protected zones and continue conservation actions to save South Asia's critically endangered vultures from extinction.
Red Fox and Gray Fox
Wolves, coyotes, and foxes were once abundant in Pennsylvania but were driven to extinction by human activity like habitat loss and bounty programs. Coyotes have since returned to the state and are found in all counties. They are larger than historic coyotes and believed to be coyote-wolf hybrids. Foxes were also affected by habitat changes as the gray fox's woodland habitat disappeared, allowing for the introduction and spread of the red fox. Both red and gray foxes are now found throughout the state. While wolves are still absent, efforts at conservation have allowed for their return in some parts of their historic range.

This document provides information about blood types and their classification systems, as well as an overview of human evolution from early hominins to modern Homo sapiens. It discusses the ABO and Rh blood type systems, as well as minor systems. Key hominin species discussed include Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens. It also provides a brief overview of the geological time scale and its use in classifying eras from the Precambrian to the Phanerozoic.
Snow leopard background
Snow leopards inhabit the high mountains of Central Asia, with an estimated population of 4,080-6,590 across 12 countries. Threats to snow leopards include poaching, retribution killing by herders, habitat and prey loss, and insufficient conservation. To effectively monitor snow leopards and the impact of conservation efforts, surveys use methods such as sign transects to determine relative abundance, and camera trapping and DNA analysis of scat and hair to determine absolute abundance and population changes over time. Information from such monitoring is important for snow leopard conservation goals.
Emerging parasitic infections in goats in pastoral systems in kenya
This document summarizes a study on parasitic infections in goats in pastoral systems in Kenya. A total of 832 goats from 76 herds across 5 provinces were sampled to analyze tick infestation and strongyle egg counts. The overall mean tick count was 21 ticks per animal, with some districts having much higher counts. The overall strongyle egg count was 545 eggs per gram of feces. Both ticks and strongyle parasite infections were widely prevalent and at high levels. The study suggests these parasitic infections will become more economically important for pastoralists due to increasing pressure on grazing land and water sources. Further research is needed to understand disease transmission and impacts, and develop effective control strategies.

- Although mammals are well studied, new species continue to be discovered, with 349 added since 1962. New species are poorly understood and face threats before being classified.
- Unless conservation actions are taken, the overall status of mammals will likely continue to deteriorate in the future due to threats such as habitat loss and overexploitation. However, populations of 5% of threatened species are currently
PACIFIC WALRUS UNDER SIEGE
The Pacific walrus is a semi-aquatic mammal found in Arctic regions. It can grow up to 7-11 feet long and weigh up to 3,700 pounds. Walruses have been historically hunted for their ivory tusks. While populations declined over 20% in the past due to overhunting, their biggest threat is now the loss of Arctic sea ice habitat from climate change. Due to sea ice loss, the USFWS listed the Pacific walrus as threatened in 2011. Continued sea ice loss could severely impact walrus populations unless action is taken to limit human interference and hunting.
6th Grade Chapter 5
This document provides information about diversity and adaptations among living things on Earth. It discusses how tropical rainforests have the highest biodiversity due to abundant resources. Adaptations allow organisms to survive in their environments, like camouflage helping animals hide from predators. Natural selection leads to traits that aid survival and reproduction in a given environment over generations. New species can form when populations become isolated and develop unique adaptations.

Kiwi Forest Birds
Kiwi Forest Birds
Before humans arrived in New Zealand, the island was home to thousands of native bird species that had evolved without land mammal predators. The introduction of mammals like possums and rats has negatively impacted native birds, killing adult birds and chicks and competing for food sources. Aerial 1080 pest control drops have increased kiwi chick survival rates but some native bird populations can be negatively impacted if not done carefully. While 1080 breaks down quickly in the environment, some native birds, especially inquisitive species like kea, are vulnerable to aerial 1080 poisoning.
Vulture awareness day presentation
Three species of vultures in South Asia, including the white-rumped vulture, have seen their populations decline by over 90% in recent decades due to the use of the veterinary drug diclofenac. Diclofenac is toxic to vultures and causes kidney failure when they eat the remains of livestock treated with the drug. Conservation efforts are underway to breed vultures in captivity and ban dangerous drugs, but diclofenac contamination of the vultures' food supply still threatens their survival. International organizations like IUCN are working with countries in the region to establish protected zones and continue conservation actions to save South Asia's critically endangered vultures from extinction.
Red Fox and Gray Fox
Wolves, coyotes, and foxes were once abundant in Pennsylvania but were driven to extinction by human activity like habitat loss and bounty programs. Coyotes have since returned to the state and are found in all counties. They are larger than historic coyotes and believed to be coyote-wolf hybrids. Foxes were also affected by habitat changes as the gray fox's woodland habitat disappeared, allowing for the introduction and spread of the red fox. Both red and gray foxes are now found throughout the state. While wolves are still absent, efforts at conservation have allowed for their return in some parts of their historic range.

Snow leopard background
Snow leopards inhabit the high mountains of Central Asia, with an estimated population of 4,080-6,590 across 12 countries. Threats to snow leopards include poaching, retribution killing by herders, habitat and prey loss, and insufficient conservation. To effectively monitor snow leopards and the impact of conservation efforts, surveys use methods such as sign transects to determine relative abundance, and camera trapping and DNA analysis of scat and hair to determine absolute abundance and population changes over time. Information from such monitoring is important for snow leopard conservation goals.
Emerging parasitic infections in goats in pastoral systems in kenya
This document summarizes a study on parasitic infections in goats in pastoral systems in Kenya. A total of 832 goats from 76 herds across 5 provinces were sampled to analyze tick infestation and strongyle egg counts. The overall mean tick count was 21 ticks per animal, with some districts having much higher counts. The overall strongyle egg count was 545 eggs per gram of feces. Both ticks and strongyle parasite infections were widely prevalent and at high levels. The study suggests these parasitic infections will become more economically important for pastoralists due to increasing pressure on grazing land and water sources. Further research is needed to understand disease transmission and impacts, and develop effective control strategies.

A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF GLOBAL FOX POPULATIONS BY COUNTRY
- 2. A Comprehensive Survey of Global Fox Populations by Country Abstract: Foxes, members of the Canidae family, are ubiquitous predators with varying population sizes worldwide. This article offers an extensive analysis of estimated fox populations in different countries, taking into account their geographic distribution, conservation status, and potential ecological implications. While acknowledging the approximations and challenges in estimating precise population numbers, this review provides valuable insights into the status of these canids across the globe. Introduction: Foxes, recognized members of the Canidae family, encompass a diverse range of species with notable geographical dispersion. These versatile animals play pivotal roles in ecosystem dynamics, influencing prey populations and acting as indicators of ecosystem health. This article aims to compile available data on estimated fox populations by country, shedding light on their distribution and conservation status as of the knowledge cutoff date in September 2021. Methods: To compile this information, we conducted a comprehensive survey of existing literature, including government reports, scientific studies, and expert assessments. We considered various sources to provide a comprehensive view of global fox populations. It is imperative to acknowledge the inherent variability and challenges in estimating exact fox populations, often resulting in broad ranges. Results: North America: Canada: Approximately 300,000 foxes. United States: Approximately 1,000,000 foxes. South America:
- 3. Varies significantly by country. Europe: United Kingdom: About 250,000 foxes. Russia: Approximately 1,000,000 foxes. Germany: Around 400,000 foxes. France: About 300,000 foxes. Italy: Approximately 200,000 foxes. Sweden: Estimated at 50,000 - 100,000 foxes. Greece: Approximately 50,000 - 100,000 foxes. Asia: China: An estimated 100,000 - 1,000,000 or more foxes. India: Approximately 10,000 - 100,000 foxes. Iran: An estimated 100,000 - 1,000,000 or more foxes. Kazakhstan: Around 50,000 - 100,000 foxes. Mongolia: Estimated at 50,000 - 100,000 foxes. Turkey: Approximately 100,000 - 1,000,000 foxes. Africa: South Africa: Approximately 10,000 - 50,000 foxes. Oceania: Australia: Several million foxes. New Zealand: Approximately 10,000 - 50,000 foxes. Discussion: The global distribution of foxes reveals significant variability in population sizes across regions. North America boasts substantial populations, with Canada and the United States reporting notable numbers. Europe is also home to significant populations, with the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany leading the tally. Meanwhile, Asia exhibits considerable diversity in fox population sizes. In Africa, though data is less comprehensive, countries such as South Africa have fox populations. Australia stands out in Oceania with a substantial fox population, while New Zealand reports lower numbers due to extensive predator control efforts.
- 4. Despite these estimates, it's important to recognize the inherent variability in the data, stemming from habitat loss, hunting, disease, and climatic fluctuations. Conservation initiatives are critical to preserve these canids and their ecological significance. Conclusion: This comprehensive overview of global fox populations by country underscores the worldwide distribution and importance of these canids. While the provided estimates offer a broad perspective, finer-scale, localized data and ongoing research are necessary for effective conservation management. Acknowledging the pivotal roles foxes play in ecosystems is paramount to ensure their sustained presence in the wild.
