  2. Endangered Specieof California “The Santa Barbara County population of the California tiger salamander (Ambystomacaliforniense) was federally listed as endangered on September 21, 2000 (65 FR 57242). The Sonoma County Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of the California tiger salamander was listed as endangered on July 22, 2002 (67 FR 47727). The Central California DPS of the California tiger salamander was proposed for listing as threatened on May 23, 2003 (68 FR 28648). The Santa Barbara and Sonoma County DPSs were proposed for reclassification from endangered to threatened, on May 23, 2003 (68 FR 28648). The California Department of Fish and Game (Department) considers the California tiger salamander throughout its entire range to be a species of special concern (Special Animals List July 2003 http://www.dfg.ca.gov/whdab/html/lists.html).” What we can do Protect their habitat by reducing unnecessary Sprawling of humans, also reduce the use of pesticides in Pesticide Reduction Campaign.

  3. Threatened and native to California Dudleya, Santa Cruz Island “Dudleyastoloniferais a narrow endemic found only in six occurrences, all on northfacing sandstone surfaces in steep-walled canyons near Laguna Beach, Orange County, California (CDFG 1987, p. 1). Three of these occurrences are on lands managed by Orange County Parks, two are on private lands, and one is on land owned by the City of Laguna Beach (CNDDB 2010a). Dudleyastoloniferawas listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) in 1987 and as threatened under the Act in 1998.” http://www.fws.gov/carlsbad/SpeciesStatusList/5YR/20100416_5YR_DUST.pdfornia Department of Fish and Game

  4. Franklin Tree extinct native to the us • Frankliniais a genus of the tea plant family. • The sole species in this genus is a flowering tree, Frankliniaalatamaha, commonly called the Franklin tree, and native to the Altamaha River valley in Georgia in the southeastern. It has been extinct in the wild since the early 19th century, but survives as a cultivated ornamental tree. • The Franklinia genus differs in having evergreen foliage, flowers with longer stems, winged seeds, and conical seed capsules. (Franklinia was often known as Gordoniapubescens until the middle of the 20th century.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklinia_alatamaha

  5. A globally known indicator species is Indicator Species • Native frog populations are plummeting all over the world there are only observations of what could be the cause: • Destruction of wetlands • contamination of water supplies by biocides, pollutants, and acid rain • introduction of non-native predators such as voracious game fish from hatcheries, as well as bullfrogs and crawfish that eat the eggs of native frogs • natural population variation • fungal disease called Saprolegnia, which has long plagued hatchery fish and recently spread to the wild, where it is suspected of affecting frogs as well as fish • depletion of the ozone layer: Now that it is known that sunbathing sets the stage for skin cancer, many scientists wonder what the effects are upon frogs, whose bodies are protected from the elements by a thin skin permeable to both water and gas. • What we can do: stop the purchasing of frogs as pets, the eating of frog legs and the use of pesticides and herbicides, don’t put nonnative fish in ponds or lakes. http://savethefrogs.com/how-to-help/index.html

  6. Keystone Species • Scientists have proven that beavers are a Keystone specie • meaning that beavers play a crucial role in biodiversity • many species rely on beaver ponds, many of them threatened or endangered • Therefore, whenever we can coexist with beavers, we are providing the habitat necessary for supporting many other species, and protecting the web of life • In addition to the very important biodiversity issue, most people are not aware that there are many other benefits to beaver ponds For example Benefits to us • Decrease in floods • Recharge drinking water aquifers • Remove pollutants from surface and ground water • Protection from drought • Decreased erosion Further Benefits • Produce food for fish and other animals • Support biodiversity (43% of endangered species) • Support necessary habitats • Maintain stream and river flow http://www.beaversolutions.com/beavers_keystone_species.asp

  7. Invasive Species • Burmese python is native to Asia but now found in south Florida. The release of Burmese pythons in South Florida is especially troublesome because the subtropical climate and the vast undisturbed habitats of the Everglades enable the species to thrive. they have been known to eat and kill alligators and other native species to the everglades. To stop the spreading of these pythons we can stop the releasing of them into the wild and raise awareness of places people can take them as an alternative to releasing them from captivity.
