Migratory Bird Initiatives | US EPA - U. S. Environmental . . . The initial focus of the effort was on species that breed in the Nearctic (North America) and winter in the Neotropics (Central and South America), but the focus has spread to include most land birds and other species requiring terrestrial habitats Partners in Flight has approached bird conservation on several major fronts:
The Conservation Mission of Zoos | Wild Welfare Clearly there is a mismatch between the areas where the captive populations are held and their native ranges habitats Unfortunately, there are still large parts of the world with high biodiversity value whose zoos are not represented in the global zoo network Zoos do a lot for conservation
River Habitat - NOAA Fisheries River habitats vary from high, stony streams, to flowing channels for ships and boats, to shallow wetland deltas Rivers have striking regional differences that create distinct habitats Compare the rapid, rocky Colorado to South Carolina’s sleepy, green Santee, or the forested, winding Ohio
Life among the mangroves | Stories | WWF - World Wildlife Fund They rely on mangrove forests to sustain their eating habits With only around 100 individuals remaining, this species is in critical danger of extinction In fact, mangrove finches are one of the most range-restricted birds in the world
Species fact sheets - Washington Department of Fish Wildlife A conflict also can quickly alter a wildlife lover’s perception about a certain species, especially when the situation exceeds his her current level of tolerance Such is the paradox that wildlife around homes and property present: We want them and we don’t want them, depending on what they are doing at any given moment
Biodiversity - IUCN Biodiversity is crucial to human well-being, and is increasingly threatened Habitat destruction, invasive species, overexploitation, illegal wildlife trade, pollution and climate change put the survival of species worldwide at risk
