  1. Yo! How’s that photo journal going? • Please read the board carefully!

  2. Ecosystem service • Ecosystem services are ways that a wild area helps people. • This prairie absorbs rainwater during storms which protects our houses from flooding.

  3. Photo Journal • MAJOR GRADE!    • Due this Wed/Thursday • DO NOT email it to Ms. Klein (points will be taken off) • Turn in to this computer: • Thumb drive • Download from YOUR email

  4. So! Those Monarchs! • Monarchs are not endangered, but they are in danger. • Why? • What would YOU recommend be done to protect them?

  5. Monarch Life Cycle • http://www.follenderwerks.com/galleries/the_monarch_butterfly/monarch_anim.htm

  6. Protecting those endangered species! Success Strategies And Wildlife Management

  7. Determining wildlife needs • Wildlife managers need to identify • population size and carrying capacity • critical habitat • food requirements • Nesting/breeding requirements • Symbiotic relationships • Special species needs

  8. Counting population size

  9. Camera traps on trees. When an animal crosses the infrared beam of light, a picture is taken. Wildlife managers can tell when an animal has been I that exact location.

  10. Creating wildlife refuges • Habitat management and improvement • Setting aside reserves, coordinating with private landowners

  11. Wildlife corridors Connecting fragmented habitat allows animals from each smaller area to safely get to other areas.

  12. Creating artificial nesting boxes • Habitat management and improvement • Creating artificial nesting sites (Red cockaded woodpecker in Eastern Texas) saves the bird time so they can reproduce more frequently

  13. Conservation Reserve Program Federal program Pays land owners to put marginal lands back into native vegetation to provide wildlife habitat 31.4 million acres currently

  14. Habitat improvement • Removal of invasive species, replanting native species, using prescribed burns

  15. Translocation/transplant programs • Individuals are captured in well-populated areas and moved to less-populaed areas • Increases genetic biodiversity • 1996 wolves reintroduced in Yellowstone

  16. Captive Breeding programs • Usually with egg-layers – birds/amphibians • Young are raised until they can survive on their own in the wild and then released

  17. Zoos – Species Protection Plan • Genetic index of endangered species • Cross breeding of distantly-related individuals to improve the population

  18. Tracking wildlife • Radio collars can be put on birds/mammals to keep track of what habitat they use and whether they are alive or dead.

  19. Review your list of wildlife management tools • Which would you recommend for the Monarch? • Which would you NOT recommend for the Monarch?
