Congress is voting to drastically cut funding from a vital conservation program to save threatened tigers, elephants and countless other species. With many of these animals already teetering on the brink of extinction, the decimation of a core strategy for their protection could spell disaster.
We can't let this happen. Write your Representative today and ask them not to give up on a future with wild tigers, elephants and other endangered species.
In today's economic environment, it is clear that although wildlife investment may decline in the short term as the focus moves from a sustaining mode to a survival mode of operations for most conservation organizations, this re-evaluation and change is long awaited. Using technology has become a key factor in making this transformation successful.
The challenges of this decade have helped foster and stir the creative juices of many. Idea such as the recent announcement by researchers in the United Kingdom, that are proposing a solution to utilize green energy power plants as a means to protecting the environment and simultaneously supporting conservation of wildlife by providing the land as a wildlife haven, is just one example.
This update to a previously written article provides some predictions about the impact the current economic condition will have on wildlife. Over the past two years we have seen significant pull back on funding on wildlife programs, wildlife philanthropy and animal related concerns. Serious impacts down-the-line to wildlife will be felt as curtailment of philanthropic efforts becomes evident, especially around this past year end. The current focus for most individuals is paying their mortgages and day-to-day bills.
Thousands of sharks killed daily for soup! Unfathomable, the CNN article brings to light finally the plight of the endangered shark species. We must take a stand to stop this unbelievable barbaric crime against wildlife.
Support the efforts to end shark finning.
39000 people and counting - we will not be deterred. Stop Shark Finning today... join the social media drive and spread the word.
The powerful shaking was a first for the region in centuries — and fairly surprising to seismologists.

Wolf found shot to death in AZ

The body of a Mexican wolf was found shot to death on June 18 in Eastern Arizona. Authorities are investigating the death, but US Fish and Wildlife officials state the wolf was killed by gunshot wound. The Wildlife Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible.
The wolf was an Alpha male from the Hawks Nest Pack, which traditionally uses an area east of Big Lake in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The pack is one of the first packs released in Arizona over the past several years. Mexican wolves are the smallest and most endangered subspecies of North American gray wolves. Commonly referred to as "El lobo," the Mexican wolf is usually gray with light brown fur on its back. Its long legs and sleek body enable it to move quickly through desert landscapes.
It is illegal to injure or kill a Mexican wolf as they are an endangered species and federal authorities are investigating the death. Anyone with information on this case is urged to contact the authorities immediately.
