Bird conservation in America's heartland
Article Abstract:
The Interior Low Plateau Region that covers a 30-million acre spread from southern Illinois through Kentucky and Tennessee into northern Alabama is home to hundreds of wild bird species and a place where bird conservation programs are being conducted. The Partners in Flight program has provided for better habitat research and management to reduce bird population decline. The plan encourages progressive monitoring and research and biological as well as economic sustainability.

Outfoxing the fox
Article Abstract:
The Aleutian Canada goose has fully recovered from being an endangered species and may, therefore, be removed from the list of animals covered by the Endangered Species Act of 1973. A winter survey in California has shown that the bird specie has increased its number from 800 to 24,000 after 25 years of conservation efforts. Efforts to increase population growth are underway to boost population to the Asian portion of its range.

Woodland caribou: a conservation dilemma
Article Abstract:
More effective recovery and conservation programs should be established to prevent the further decline in Woodland caribou population in the Selkirk Mountains. They should address the issues of predation and the impact of changing demography on the recovery process and use them as guide in developing approaches that would ensure the persistence of caribou populations on a large scale.
